Goalkeepers

Carlos Coronel posted his ninth clean sheet of the season in Week 23, and heā€™s the only goalkeeper with two home games this round. First up is an Inter Miami side that ranks dead last in the goal-scoring department before hosting a New York City FC side that the New York Red Bulls backstop blanked just three games ago.

Defenders

Bakaye Dibassy has registered double-digit points in three straight rounds, contributing to three clean sheets and racking up multiple bonus points along the way. The Minnesota United defender looks to keep it going at home against a Colorado Rapids attack that's scored just one goal across their last three matches before a road tilt with an Austin FC side that ranks last in the Western Conference in goals scored.

Midfielders

The fantasy gods gave managers a gift when Emanuel Reynosoā€™s red card was rescinded Friday, lifting his suspension and rendering Minnesotaā€™s playmaker available for both matches in Week 24. Prior to his dismissal in Week 23, Reynoso averaged over 10 fantasy points per game across his last three outings. Look for the Loons to continue to run their attack through Reynoso in favorable matchups with Colorado and Austin FC this week.

Forwards

Patryk Klimala leads the New York Red Bulls with seven goals and he ranks second on the team with five assists. Heā€™s cranked out six or more shots in three of his last five appearances, highlighting just how crucial the Polish striker is to RBNY's attack. On a double game week that lacks standout forwards on teams playing twice, Klimala gets an enticing matchup at home against a depleted Inter Miami unit before facing an NYCFC side that he bagged a late equalizing PK against in his first-ever Hudson River Derby just two rounds ago.
