1 Diego Valeri POR v. SKC 13.1 Valeri has rarely disappointed at home this year. Against a SKC side missing Russell and Gutierrez, he's likely to give us another good score.

2 Maximiliano Moralez NYC v. NE 12.1

3 Nicolas Lodeiro SEA at COL 12.7 Seattle are infamously shorthanded this week, but Lodeiro chose to stay behind during the break and help the team. His remaining teammates are well-drilled enough that his high production should only be slightly hampered.

4 Carles Gil NE at NYC 12.7 With plenty of good or intriguing midfield options, it's tempting to get cute, but Gil presents a great 5th selection if you just take this top group.

5 Alejandro Pozuelo TOR at FCC 9.6 One of the best indicators of where you sit in the FMLS standings is probably how quickly you bailed on frequently using Pozuelo 1-2 months ago. Unfortunately, this matchup pushes him back to the forefront of the midfield conversation.

6 Sebastian Blanco POR v. SKC 9.7 The good: Portland will have a ton of the ball in SKC's half. The bad: Portland still are struggling at breaking a bunkering team down.

7 Latif Blessing LAFC at ORL 10.1 Blessing is electric, but he doesn't accumulate bonus points at a rate equal to most good fantasy midfielders. I'm still very much considering him based on goal/assist potential alone.

8 Lee Nguyen LAFC at ORL 6.7 Nguyen may be tasked with getting forward more in this match, depending on who else Bradley plays in the midfield.

9 Nicolas Benezet TOR at FCC 7.5

10 Nani ORL v. LAFC 9.1 Bob Bradley knows that if he stops Nani, Orlando will have little else to threaten with. Guess what Bob Bradley is going to make sure LAFC do?

11 Emmanuel Ledesma FCC v. TOR 7.9

12 Jack Price COL v. SEA 8.2

13 Jonathan Lewis COL v. SEA 7.4 Will be over-owned after a brace last match, but if you think Seattle will be bad then go ahead!

14 Michael Bradley TOR at FCC 9.1

15 Alexander Ring NYC v. NE 8.6

16 Joshua Perez LAFC at ORL 4.8 Perez is very likely to suit up on the wing for LAFC. The group may lack some chemistry without Vela (probably), Brian Rodriguez, Eduard Atuesta, and Mark-Anthony Kaye but Perez has shown some potential in limited action

17 Erickson Yirson Gallardo TOR at FCC 6.6

18 Kellyn Acosta COL v. SEA 5.0 Potentially a very good play depending on how Seattle fares. Too many other options for me to dive in with both feet though.

19 Cristian Penilla NE at NYC 7.9
