Follow @MLSFantasy on Twitter for updates on starting lineups, strategy and tips throughout the weekend. Here are some top plays to help you find your name at the top of the standings:
Goalkeepers
Obvious Pick: The Revs haven’t lost a game at home since June thanks in large part to Bobby Shuttleworth ($5,000), who has allowed just three goals at Gillette Stadium over that stretch.
Budget Pick: Young Jesse Gonzalez ($4,800) continues to impress. Back-to-back clean sheets meant major points as Dallas eye the Supporters’ Shield.
Sleeper Pick:Evan Bush ($4,200) is averaging 14 fantasy PPG over his last four games and is facing a New England team that he held scoreless when they met last month.
Defenders
Obvious Pick:Chris Tierney ($7,000) is a near lock for double-digit points on DraftKings every time he steps on the field. His salary is tough to digest, but is justified by 10-plus points in nine of the Revs' last 10 games.
Budget Pick:Ashtone Morgan ($4,000) had five crosses in Toronto’s win on Wednesday and now has a combined 20 points in his last two games.
Sleeper Pick: While Harrison Afful ($5,300) continues to swing in crosses at a high rate, Crew teammate Waylon Francis ($4,000) has quietly posted respectable fantasy totals in his last two starts.
Midfielders
Obvious Pick:Lee Nguyen ($9,900) has at least a goal or an assist in six straight games at home.
Budget Pick:Herculez Gomez ($3,500) scored a goal in midweek action and could keep his place in the Toronto FC Starting XI with Jozy Altidore suspended.
Sleeper Pick:Kelyn Rowe ($6,900) has four shots in back-to-back games and is putting up points across all attacking categories.
Forwards
Obvious Pick: It’s pick your poison as Audi Golden Boot frontrunners Sebastian Giovinco ($14,400) and Kei Kamara ($11,600) go toe-to-toe. Both have 22 goals and simply can’t stop scoring.
Budget Pick: Juan Agudelo ($6,000) could be in line for another start after scoring a goal in his last outing.
Sleeper Pick:Juan Manuel Martinez ($6,100) has drawn 11 fouls in his last two games, collecting +0.75 points for each foul drawn. “Burrito” could see some extra looks at goal with Joao Plata likely out with an injury.
