Positional Leaders
Goalkeepers
Five players clocked in at a position-leading 9 points this round. Dayne St. Clair (MIN, $7.5) saved a penalty, while the rest had clean sheets: Sean Johnson (NY, $10.9), William Yarbrough (COL, $6.7), Eloy Room (CLB, $10.0), and Matt Turner (NE, $8.1). DCU’s Bill Hamid ($6.2) scored 2 points.
Defenders
A Rapids duo led the defenders, with Sam Vines ($6.0) setting the pace with a clean sheet and an assist for 12 points, followed closely by teammate Keegan Rosenberry ($7.3), and Yeimar Gomez-Andrade (SEA, $9.3), who both had a clean sheet and 11 points. For United, Frederic Brillant ($8.7) led with 4 points, while Chris Odoi-Atsem ($4.0) scored 2, and both Donovan Pines ($7.7) and Joseph Mora ($4.0) scored 1.
Midfielders
Two players scored 19 points to lead the position and all scorers. Diego Valeri (POR, $12.4) added an assist to his two goals, while Santiago Mosquera (DAL, $6.0) had a hat trick. Nani (ORL, $8.5) rounded out the top three with a goal, an assist, and 13 points. The D.C. midfield was led by Junior Moreno ($9.5) with 7 points, followed by Julian Gressel ($8.1) with 5, Yamil Asad ($4.2) with 3, Mohammed Abu ($6.5) with 2, and the trio of Yordy Reyna ($4.2), Federico Higuain ($4.0), and Moses Nyeman ($4.0) with 1 each.
Forwards
The forwards were led by Fredy Montero (VAN, $5.0) with 18 points on the strength of two goals and an assist. Behind him were Kacper Przybyłko (PHI, $12.0) with a brace and 13 points, and Franco Jara (DAL, $9.8) with 12 points on a brace of his own. The DCU forwards were led by Ola Kamara ($5.9) with 7 points, trailed by Griffin Yow ($4.0) with 6, Gelmin Rivas ($4.4) with 2, and Erik Sorga ($4.3) with 1.
Looking Ahead
It looks like everyone is playing twice this week! I’m saving some money at goalkeeper with Dayne St. Clair @Columbus and vs. RSL. In defense, I like Maynor Figueroa (HOU, $9.2) @Chicago and @Nashville, and in the midfield I like Chris Mueller (ORL, $9.7) as a budget-ish option, with four goals and five assists over nine appearances this season. At forward, I like Kacper Przybyłko’s match-ups, @Cincinnati and vs.Miami.
