Fantasy: Week 10 positional rankings

Reid, Mike and Blayne are joined by Parker Cleveland from Dirty South Soccer to chat about Round 9 and debate who currently is the best team in MLS (injuries or not). They then move into their discussion of games and player recommendation for the upcoming Round 10 and drop more hints about the special MAY The 4th Episode that will drop later this week.

Week 10 of MLS Fantasy features several enticing matchups to target for fantasy points. Let’s take a closer look at the top players at each position.

Start playing!

Goalkeepers

Alex Bono saved a penalty and earned nine points in Week 9 despite conceding two goals. Up next is a Philadelphia attack that showed signs of life in a 3-2 win over D.C. United last week but have yet to score a goal on the road in 2018. With Toronto playing in the first game of the week (Friday, 8 pm ET | TSN 1/3/4/5 — Full TV & streaming info), using Bono off the bench as a “Keeperoo” option will be a popular play amongst sharp players this week.

Defenders

Graham Zusi remains at the top of the heap as the top scoring fantasy defender in a good matchup at home against Colorado (Saturday, 8:30 pm ET— Full TV & streaming info). Right behind him is Laurent Ciman, who has eclipsed double-digit fantasy points in three straight with a goal in back-to-back games.

Midfielders

Nicolas Lodeiro was held to less than eight points for the first time all season in Week 9, but is in a good bounce back spot at home against Columbus (Saturday, 4 pm ET — Full TV & streaming info). Ignacio Piatti was also quiet last week, but he’s back home vs. New England (Saturday, 1 pm ET | TVAS — Full TV & streaming info) where he struck for a hat trick two weeks ago and should continue to see opportunities make his mark on the score sheet as Montreal’s primary attacking threat.

Forwards

Sebastian Giovinco has yet to score a regular-season goal through four games despite firing off five or more shots in each game. The lack of production has driven his price down to $9.0, which is an absolute steal for the sky-high fantasy upside he comes with. With Toronto looking to kickstart their run up the Eastern Conference, it would be no surprise to see Giovinco open his 2018 account at home against Philadelphia and he warrants serious captain consideration this week.
