Teams on a BYE: HOU, LAFC, PHI
Goalkeeper
Newcomer Yohei Takaoka has kept a clean sheet in three straight matches, and he’s well-positioned to run the shutout streak to four in Round 10. The Japanese shot-stopper has not conceded a goal in the last 320 minutes of league play and has one of the best matchups on the board at home against the Colorado Rapids.
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Yohei Takaoka | VAN | vs. COL | $7.2 |
2. Joe Willis | NSH | vs. ATL | $9.7 |

Defenders
Julian Gressel’s fantasy value has skyrocketed since transitioning from wingback to attacking midfielder this season. He’s hit double-digit fantasy points in three consecutive rounds, contributing a goal and an assist to go along with three clean sheets. A juicy home matchup with the Colorado Rapids could see Gressel flirt with double-digit points once again in Round 10.

Midfielders
Lucas Zelarayán was kept off the scoresheet for the first time in four games in last round's Matchday 9 loss to Charlotte FC. With three straight home games incoming, look for Zelarayán to help the Crew get back on track, starting with Saturday’s clash against Inter Miami CF. The visitors have lost six straight games since kicking off the season with back-to-back wins, which sets the stage for a big bounce-back from Zelarayán and Columbus.

1. Lucas Zelarayán | CLB | vs. MIA | $11.8 |
2. Carles Gil | NE | vs. CIN | $11.1 |

Forwards
Christian Benteke supplied a goal in D.C. United’s big 3-1 win at Orlando in Round 9, snapping a mini-slump that had him stuck at three goals and improving his season tally to four through nine games. Look for Benteke to continue his goal-menacing form against a Charlotte FC unit that's conceded multiple goals in three of four road matches.
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Christian Benteke | DC | vs. CLT | $8.1 |
2. Federico Bernardeschi | TOR | vs. NYC | $9.6 |

Expert advice:
Sporting KC are desperate for their first league win of 2023, and a home match against a CF Montréal side that's been outscored 14-0 over five straight road defeats presents a golden opportunity for three points. I’m predicting SKC get the job done at home, along with Vancouver and Orlando City.
Vancouver are in a good run of form and Orlando City are looking to right the ship after three consecutive home losses. A Riqui Puig-less LA Galaxy attack could be just what Orlando City need to pull out a win.
