Romain Metanire | USA Today Images

Romain Metanire continues to play a big role along the right side of the Minnesota United setup. He’s played his part defensively to help see out three straight shutouts, racking up eight bonus points over that span. With target forward Kei Kamara continually looking to be fed, Metanire is well-positioned to make his mark on the scoresheet too.

Midfielders

Alejandro Pozuelo leads all players with 108 total fantasy points, and he’s scored eight or more points in five straight rounds. That type of consistency is worth paying top dollar for, especially with Toronto FC sitting in the driver's seat in the Supporters' Shield race.

Gonzalo Higuain | USA Today Images

Gonzalo Higuain opened his MLS account with a scintillating free-kick goal last week, and he continues to fire off shots at will with four or more in three of his four appearances. The high-profile goalscorer has game changing potential and with two games on the schedule it would be no surprise to see him erupt for a multi-goal game.
