Goalkeepers
Obvious Pick:Luis Robles ($4,100) and the Red Bulls have been tough to beat at home, and have only averaged one goal against per game in their last six matches.
Budget Pick:Adam Kwarasey ($3,600) will have his hands full at BC Place against the Whitecaps, but the Timbers' defense has been outstanding for a while now.
Sleeper Pick: Jesse Gonzalez ($3,700) is going up against one of the best two-man attacking threats in the league in Clint Dempsey and Obafemi Martins, but FC Dallas is capable of shutting them down.
Defenders
Obvious Pick:Harrison Afful ($4,200) has been one of the most consistent defenders in terms of DraftKings points since he's been inserted into the Crew SC backline, including six double-digit scores in his last ten starts.
Budget Pick:Kendall Waston ($3,000) is a solid defender who occasionally finds himself on the end of set pieces. He's the best value at that price point.
Sleeper Pick:Alvas Powell ($4,000) is playing away against Vancouver, but even when the Timbers don't win, he has a high floor due to his volume of crosses.
Midfielders
Obvious Pick:Sacha Kljestan ($7,200) is playing at home, and has scored a goal or assist in all but one of his last ten matches.
Budget Pick:Jorge Villafana ($3,600) is designated as a midfielder in DraftKings even though he plays on the backline for Portland, and considering how many attacking points he earns, it's justified.
Sleeper Pick:Andreas Ivanschitz ($4,600) may not get as much time in the headlines as Dempsey and Martins, but he has been pivotal for the Sounders in the playoffs, and whipped in a ridiculous 12 crosses in the win against the LA Galaxy.
Forwards
Obvious Pick:Didier Drogba ($8,200) has nine goals in his last ten games, and Columbus still haven't completely figured out their defense.
Budget Pick:Michael Barrios ($5,000) has been quiet for a couple of matches, but he's worth a gamble considering he is still averaging a solid 9.9 PPG.
Sleeper Pick:Fabian Espindola ($7,300) and D.C. United have a difficult task ahead of them at Red Bull Arena, but even when Fabian doesn't score, he still racks up tons of shots and crosses. If you can't afford Drogba, pick Espindola up instead.
