Goalkeepers
Prior to departing for the Olympics, Patrick Schulte churned out a clean sheet in three of his previous five MLS regular season appearances. He has the best shutout odds of the two GKās who could play twice this week, but with Columbus boasting a strong selection of field players to roster, the decision will have to be made whether or not to burn a DGW spot on a GK.
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
1. Patrick Schulte | CLB | at PHI, vs. NYC | $8.6 |
2. Andre Blake | PHI | vs. CLB, at RBNY | $6.7 |
3. Kristijan Kahlina | CLT | vs. ATL | $8.2 |

1. Roman Celentano | CIN | vs. MTL | $6.2 |
Defenders
Kai Wagner was on a tear heading into Leagues Cup, averaging 11 fantasy points per round across Rounds 20-22. He dished out four assists over that span, and as the Unionās primary set piece taker he comes with a good fantasy floor and high ceiling on a DGW.
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
1. Kai Wagner | PHI | vs. CLB, at RBNY | $10.8 |
2. Steven Moreira | CLB | at PHI, vs. NYC | $9.4 |

Midfielders
Daniel Gazdag struck for a hat trick in Philadelphiaās last DGW, notching a Dream Team-worthy 24 points in Round 22. With a lack of standout double gameweek midfielders, Gazdag warrants a serious look as the Unionās go-to penalty kick taker.
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
1. Daniel Gazdag | PHI | vs. CLB, at RBNY | $11.4 |
2. Evander | POR | vs. SEA | $16.7 |

Forwards
Cucho Hernandez put the Columbus Crew on his back en route to lifting the Leagues Cup and taking home the Best Player award. Cucho hit 17 points in his last DGW, and heās scored or assisted in seven consecutive MLS Fantasy rounds.
