Vancouver’s Yordy Reyna ($8.6) led all midfielders and all players with 15 points on the strength of two goals. Behind him were Jonathan Lewis (COL, $7.4), who scored two goals and 14 points, and Cristian Roldan (SEA, $9.5) who did the same for 13 points.

United’s scorers were Ola Kamara ($8.8) with 12 points, and Quincy Amarikwa ($4.0) with 1.

Looking Ahead

It’s faster to list the teams who are playing than the teams on bye. The teams playing are NYC, New England, Cincinnati, Toronto, Orlando, LAFC, Colorado, Seattle, Portland, and Kansas City. That’s it. I like Steve Clark (POR, $7.4) in goal at home against SKC, and Auro (TOR, $7.9) in defense at Cincinnati. Nicolas Lodeiro (SEA, $12.7) is your man in midfield at Colorado, and at forward I like Gustavo Bou (NE, $11.2) at NYC, with his six goals in eight MLS matches.
