That was just one point better than BL4CKnRED, who stretched their overall lead to 30 points.
Positional Leaders
Goalkeepers
The pair of Tim Melia (SKC, $7.4) and Mason Stajduhar (ORL, $4.6) led the goalkeepers with 10 points and a clean sheet each. Brad Guzan (ATL, $7.7) had a clean sheet of his own and 9 points. D.C.’s Jon Kempin ($4.5) scored points.
Defenders
John Tolkin (NYR, $5.8) paired a goal with a clean sheet on the way to 17 points, somehow leading all defenders and all players. Behind him was the pair of Kai Wagner (PHI, $8.3) and Brooks Lennon (ATL, $7.9), who each tallied a clean sheet and an assist on the way to 13 points. For DCU, Frederic Brillant ($6.7) scored 5 points, followed by both Andy Najar ($8.7) and Joseph Mora ($4.0) with 2, and the trio of Antonio Alfaro ($5.1), Chris Odoi-Atsem ($4.0), and Steven Birnbaum ($4.0) with 1.
Midfielders
Rodolfo Pizarro (MIA, $6.2) scored two goals on the way to 13 points, sharing the positional lead with Luka Stojanovic (CHI, $5.5), who paired a goal with an assist. Marcelino Moreno (ATL, $11.0) rounded out the top three with a goal, an assist, and 12 points. The United midfield was led by Julian Gressel ($10.0) with 8 points, followed by Edison Flores ($6.7) with 7, Paul Arriola ($7.7) with 6, Drew Skundrich ($4.5) with 5, Felipe Martins ($4.0) with 4, the trio of Junior Moreno ($6.9), Kevin Paredes ($5.2), and Yamil Asad ($4.7) with 3, and Russell Canouse ($5.2) with 2.
Forwards
New England’s Adam Buksa ($8.1) scored two goals and assisted one on the way to 16 points, leading the forwards. A pair of Austin players were second and third, with Cecilio Dominguez ($6.7) scoring 12 points on a goal and an assist, and Sebastian Driussi ($8.5) scoring a goal and 11 points. The D.C. scoring forwards were Yordy Reyna ($5.5) with 6 points, Ola Kamara ($10.0) with 4, and Griffin Yow ($4.0) with 2.
Looking Ahead
Everyone plays once this round, except for San Jose, who are on bye. I like Tim Melia in goal vs. Colorado, and Antonio Carlos (ORL, $8.1) in defense vs. Miami. Emanuel Reynoso (MIN, $10.5) is your midfield man at Houston, and get Raul Ruidiaz (SEA, $8.9) in at forward vs. Portland.
