Looking Ahead
It's the final week. Everyone plays once and everyone plays Sunday. Keep riding Jesse Gonzalez's hot hand in goal at home against San Jose, and roll with Jorge Villafaña's two straight clean sheets at home against Colorado. After scoring off the bench in 30 minutes of action, Sebastian Giovinco (TOR, $13.6) was a dud against Columbus, but you'd be silly to not play him in the midfield @ Montreal, and Cyle Larin has six goals in three games, so he's your forward.
