Reid, Mike, and Blayne are joined by Patreon Supporter and former league champion Jessup Gage to break down everything that happened in the first week of the 2018 Fall Fantasy season. They start out with a short recap but quickly get sidelined by a discussion about the red cards in Houston and then jump feet first into the first reactions to the price and budget changes for the Fall season. Things get back on track with after that with the injury review, a team by team breakdown of Round 24, and this the big reveal of HOW WIEBE DID in our league! The discussions make this episode long, but they are definitely worth it!

The Fall season is in full swing with 11 games on deck in Week 24. Here are the top players at each position this week.

Goalkeepers

Jeff Attinella shut out Philadelphia in Week 23 and he’s been a big part of Portland’s 15-game unbeaten run. He’s in a good spot for another strong outing at home against Vancouver on Saturday (11 pm ET | TSN — Full TV & streaming info).

Rank Player Team Opponent Price 1 Jeff Attinella POR vs. VAN $6.5 2 Zack Steffen CLB vs. HOU $6.0 3 Matt Turner NE vs. PHI $5.3 4 Tyler Miller LAFC vs. SKC $6.0 5 Stefan Frei SEA vs. DAL $6.5 6 Nick Rimando RSL vs. MTL $6.0 7 David Bingham LA vs. MIN $5.4 8 Tim Howard COL vs. SJ $5.5 9 David Ousted DC vs. ORL $4.9 10 Alex Bono TOR vs. NYC $5.9

Defenders

Larrys Mabiala continues to anchor the Timbers backline and he hit double-digit fantasy points in last week’s shutout of the Union. He’s taken two shots in back-to-back outings and, as a set-piece target, there’s always the possibility of the big center back turning up with a goal.

Rank Player Team Opponent Price 1 Larrys Mabiala POR vs. VAN $7.5 2 Harrison Afful CLB vs. HOU $6.5 3 Alvas Powell POR vs. VAN $7.0 4 Graham Zusi SKC at LAFC $8.0 5 Laurent Ciman LAFC vs. SKC $6.8 6 Edgar Castillo COL vs. SJ $6.5 7 Jonathan Mensah CLB vs. HOU $6.5 8 Julio Cascante POR vs. VAN $6.0 9 Justen Glad RSL vs. MTL $6.5 10 Kelvin Leerdam SEA vs. DAL $6.0 11 Zarek Valentin POR vs. VAN $6.5 12 Steven Beitashour LAFC vs. SKC $6.8 13 Chad Marshall SEA vs. DAL $6.3 14 Anton Tinnerholm NYC at TOR $7.5 15 Justin Morrow TOR vs. NYC $6.2 16 Michael Murillo RBNY at CHI $6.7 17 Michael Ciani LA vs. MIN $6.5 18 Andrew Farrell NE vs. PHI $6.2 19 Jorgen Skjelvik LA vs. MIN $5.1 20 Kofi Opare DC vs. ORL $4.8

Midfielders

Diego Valeri was the highest-scoring player in Week 23, with 17 points through a goal and an assist to go along with multiple bonus points. He has a combined 50 points over his last four home games and, with another favorable matchup at home against the Whitecaps, we can expect more of the same from the 2017 MVP in Week 24.

Rank Player Team Opponent Price 1 Diego Valeri POR vs. VAN $11.5 2 Romain Alessandrini LA vs. MIN $10.5 3 Nicolas Lodeiro SEA vs. DAL $12.0 4 Joao Plata RSL vs. MTL $10.0 5 Ignacio Piatti MTL at RSL $11.2 6 Albert Rusnak RSL vs. MTL $9.7 7 Pedro Santos CLB vs. HOU $7.5 8 Yamil Asad DC vs. ORL $10.1 9 Maximiliano Moralez NYC at TOR $12.0 10 Diego Fagundez NE vs. PHI $10.0 11 Kellyn Acosta COL vs. SJ $8.0 12 Jonathan dos Santos LA vs. MIN $9.0 13 Damir Kreilach RSL vs. MTL $8.5 14 Victor Vazquez TOR vs. NYC $9.5 15 Jonathan Osorio TOR vs. NYC $10.5 16 Sebastian Blanco POR vs. VAN $9.0 17 Jesus Medina NYC at TOR $8.5 18 Benny Feilhaber LAFC vs. SKC $9.3 19 Kaku RBNY at CHI $10.8 20 Luciano Acosta DC vs. ORL $8.5 21 Aleksandar Katai CHI vs. RBNY $9.5 22 Saphir Taider MTL at RSL $10.0 23 Vako SJ at COL $8.5 24 Jefferson Savarino RSL vs. MTL $8.5 25 Zoltan Stieber DC vs. ORL $8.9 26 Borek Dockal PHI at NE $9.9 27 Daniel Royer RBNY at CHI $8.5 28 Ismael Tajouri-Shradi NYC at TOR $8.1 29 Juan Agudelo NE vs. PHI $7.5 30 Justin Meram CLB vs. HOU $7.5

Forwards

Zlatan Ibrahimovic returns from suspension with a dream matchup at home against a Minnesota United side that have conceded at least three goals in each of their last four road games. He scored a hat trick and notched 22 points in his last home game, and considering the matchup, it’s not too far-fetched to think he turns up with a repeat performance on Saturday (10:30 pm ET | TV & streaming info).

Rank Player Team Opponent Price 1 Zlatan Ibrahimovic LA vs. MIN $11.0 2 Sebastian Giovinco TOR vs. NYC $11.0 3 Wayne Rooney DC vs. ORL $10.0 4 Carlos Vela LAFC vs. SKC $10.8 5 Darwin Quintero MIN at LA $12.0 6 Gyasi Zardes CLB vs. HOU $8.5 7 Ola Kamara LA vs. MIN $9.0 8 Bradley Wright-Phillips RBNY at CHI $10.0 9 Giovani dos Santos LA vs. MIN $8.0 10 Cristian Penilla NE vs. PHI $8.7 11 Raul Ruidiaz SEA vs. DAL $10.0 12 David Villa NYC at TOR $10.5 13 Samuel Armenteros POR vs. VAN $9.2 14 Jozy Altidore TOR vs. NYC $10.4 15 Romell Quioto HOU at CLB $9.0 16 Patrick Mullins CLB vs. HOU $5.5 17 Dom Dwyer ORL at DC $9.2 18 Angelo Rodriguez MIN at LA $8.3 19 Diego Rossi LAFC vs. SKC $8.8 20 Nemanja Nikolic CHI vs. RBNY $9.5
