MLS Fantasy

The first double-game week of the season did not disappoint! Fantasy points were flying, and managers got a glimpse of the impact DGWs can have on the leaderboards. With another big DGW looming in Week 15, itā€™s time to focus in on Week 14 ā€“ where weā€™ll have to continue navigating squad rotation as fixture congestion begins to pile up. Letā€™s get locked in on the top plays and values at each position.

Teams on a BYE: LAFC

Goalkeeper

Stefan Frei and the Seattle Sounders are in a good ā€œget rightā€ spot at home against a New York Red Bulls side that saw several starters log big minutes in Tuesdayā€™s US Open Cup PK shootout loss to FC Cincinnati. The Sounders will look to right the ship at home against a road-weary Red Bulls attack that's scored just one goal across their last four away matches.

Defenders

Kai Wagner did not disappoint in the first DGW of the season, racking up two clean sheets and 19 points in the process. The set-piece monopoly for Philadelphia keeps us coming back for more, and, even in a somewhat difficult road fixture at New York City FC, heā€™s one of the most attractive options in a matchday without many mismatches to zero in on.

Midfielders

Hany Mukhtar continues to carry Nashville SC ā€“ scoring two goals, adding an assist and delivering 20 points in two wins during Week 13. Heā€™s back to the form that saw him win the 2022 Landon Donovan MLS MVP award, and heā€™ll look to keep it rolling at home on Sunday against a Columbus Crew side that just shipped three goals to FC Cincinnati.

Forwards

With no clear-cut locks this week, Iā€™m eying forwards who may have added opportunities to make a mark on the scoresheet. Both Johnny Russell and DĆ”niel SallĆ³i have been standing over a sizeable share of set pieces for Sporting KC, and Russell has contributed a goal and an assist across his last three outings. Look for both attackers to see plenty of chances in a good matchup at home against Portland.

Also high on the radar is Ercan Kara, who has found the back of the net in three straight matches. Plus, up next for the Austrian striker is a home matchup against an Atlanta United side that has conceded multiple goals in four of their last five games.

Expert advice:

Iā€™m riding the hot hand with Ercan Kara. Atlanta United are shipping goals at a high clip, and Kara is in a good spot to score for the fourth consecutive game. After that, Iā€™m looking to tried-and-true goal scorers in Chicharito and Jeremy Ebobisse, who both have enticing home matchups to target. Johnny Russell and Hany Mukhtar round out my squad, as both attackers will continue to be highly relied upon to produce goals on Sunday.

Expert advice:

My home-favorite strategy continues to flirt with the perfect parlay, and after hitting four of six in Round 13, Iā€™m going right back to the well. Iā€™ve got four of six home teams winning this week with a pair of draws sprinkled in. I like Colorado over FC Cincinnati after seeing several key Cincy players log big minutes in Tuesdayā€™s US Open Cup fixture. Keep in mind that some squad rotation is likely with another double-game week coming up next round ā€“ another factor to consider when making your predictions.
