Goalkeepers
Matt Freese has kept two consecutive clean sheets, and he’s in a good spot to make it three straight against a Charlotte FC side that has been shut out in two of their last three matches.
Roman Celentano could also be back in contention as he returned to full training after missing the last three games with an ankle injury. The FC Cincinnati netminder has kept a clean sheet in all three of his home appearances at TQL Stadium this season.

1. Matt Freese | NYC | vs. CLT | $6.8 |

Defenders
Kai Wagner has scored seven or more points in three of his last four outings, averaging 6.75 fantasy points per game over that span. He flashed his attacking upside with a stunning goal to equalize late in Atlanta last time out, and with the possibility of a clean sheet at home against Real Salt Lake, the German fullback is in prime position to come away with another hefty point haul.
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |

1. Kai Wagner | PHI | vs. RSL | $8.6 |

Midfielders
Luciano Acosta has scored or assisted in five of his last six appearances, and a visit from the Colorado Rapids plants the 2023 Landon Donovan MVP winner back at the top of the heap this round. With so many juicy matchups on the board, a strong case can be made for rostering any of these top 10 midfielders; just be sure to monitor starting lineups with injury concerns and potential roster rotation looming.

Forwards
Lionel Messi racked up 19 fantasy points at Arrowhead Stadium two weeks ago, running his average up to an eye-popping 15 points per round over six appearances. The only hesitation in locking “La Pulga” in is if Inter Miami are cautious with their superstar on Gillette Stadium’s artificial turf.
Head coach Tata Martino has stated that Messi will be available to feature, but it wouldn’t hurt to confirm he's in the starting lineup ahead of the match.
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Lionel Messi | MIA | at NE | $12.5 |
2. Denis Bouanga | LAFC | vs. POR | $11.9 |
3. Luis Suarez | MIA | at NE | $12.2 |
4. Cucho Hernandez | CLB | vs. MTL | $11.5 |
5. Giorgos Giakoumakis | ATL | at CHI | $9.7 |
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Tani Oluwaseyi | MIN | vs. SKC | $5.8 |
2. Mason Toye | MTL | at CLB | $5.4 |
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Lionel Messi | MIA | at NE | $12.5 |
2. Luciano Acosta | CIN | vs. COL | $12.5 |
3. Santiago Rodriguez | NYC | vs. COL | $10.5 |
Pick 2: Minnesota United vs. Sporting KC
Will both teams score?
Yes – Games involving Sporting KC have had no shortage of goals. SKC have conceded three in each of their last three matches, although they’ve scored nearly as many, bagging eight goals in that span. Meanwhile, Minnesota United have not been held scoreless in seven straight matches at Allianz Field, with Sporting Kansas City the last team to shut the Loons out at home in September of last year. Another multi-goal game looks to be in order.
Pick 4: LAFC vs. Portland Timbers
