Goalkeepers
Brad Stuver | USA Today Sports Images
Brad Stuver is set to deputize for Sean Johnson while he’s away on international duty, and hosting an FC Cincinnati side on Thursday (7 pm ET | MLS LIVE on ESPN+ in US, DAZ in Canada) who rank dead last in goals scored, he has the best clean sheet odds of any goalkeeper on the board this week.

Defenders
Anton Tinnerholm | USA Today Sports Images
Anton Tinnerholm has yet to score in 2019 after bagging four goals and adding six assists last season, but the potential for clean sheet points combined with the possibility of making an impact in the attack gives the Swede a high ceiling against Cincinnati.

Midfielders
Maxi Moralez | USA Today Sports Images
Maxi Moralez has contributed a goal or an assist in six of his last seven appearances, and there’s no reason to think he slows down against an FC Cincy defense that has shipped 10 goals over their last three matches.
