1 Carlos Vela LAFC at DC 12.8 If these teams play 10 times, I think the LAFC attack prevails over the United defense about 7-8 times. That doesn't mean Vela is a lock at this price, though.

2 Raul Ruidiaz SEA v. RSL 11.0 It's not news that we should lean at least slightly towards forwards who do more than just score goals (Vela, Mitrita, Quintero, even Rooney) but we also have to consider many of the talented poachers when they have good matchups. Seattle are superior to RSL at every level.

3 Alexandru Mitrita NYC v. MTL 9.8 Maxi is out and Mitrita had a poor match, but Montreal also allowed seven goals at SKC! I'll take their opponent's best attacking player just seven days later.

4 Zlatan Ibrahimovic LA at VAN 11.7 Supposedly he is committed to playing all the turf matches, too. I think Vancouver will do a better job against him than most seem to think, but just slightly.

5 Jozy Altidore TOR v. CHI 10.1 While Chicago did just commendably shut out the Red Bulls, I'm going to need to see a handful more quality defensive outings to really believe they solved their issues.

6 Wayne Rooney DC v. LAFC 11.5

7 Carlos Darwin Quintero MIN at NYRB 12.4 I don't hate the Loons this week, but Quintero is the only one I would realistically use given the matchup at Red Bull Arena.

8 Gyasi Zardes CLB v. NE 10.1 If you pick Gyasi, you need to be looking for a brace. The forward pool is so good this week, that spending this much for 7 points would be disappointing.

9 Dom Dwyer ORL v. COL 9.9 One of the tougher guys to rank this week, but I leaned conservative. If you see him as a top play, I don't blame you.

10 Jordan Morris SEA v. RSL 9.2 It's going to be a fun year trying to time Morris' good outings.

11 Bradley Wright-Phillips NYRB v. MIN 9.9

12 Diego Rossi LAFC at DC 9.5

13 Jeremy Ebobisse POR at SJ 7.2

14 Fredy Montero VAN v. LA 8.6

15 Heber Araujo dos Santos NYC v. MTL 8.5 If he starts, you could aggressively put him around 8-11 without many complaints from me.

16 Krisztian Nemeth SKC at FCC 7.2 With a plethora of good forward choices this week, I'm not waiting to see who SKC uses on the road in the last match of the week (even if Nemeth is seemingly their only option). The same goes for other positions. With CCL on Thursday and again next week, anyone could be rested. That said, I expect whoever Vermes puts onto the field to perform relatively well against FCC.

17 David Accam PHI v. DAL 6.3

18 Cristian Espinoza SJ v. POR 8.7

19 Kei Kamara COL at ORL 8.7
