As we’re closing in on NT breaks and preparations for continental championships or just friendlies, there are many options. We’re here to help you make the right ones 🙂

1Carlos VelaLAFCvs COL9.5MHe should finally be back to the starting XI so a #1 spot is just there to remind you how impactful a possible haul by him could be on your rank.
2Raúl Ruidíaz SEAvs ATL11MRui is finding goal involvements one way or the other and this round shouldn't be an exception.
3Alan PulidoSKC@SJ8.8MPulido looks to have finally found his goal-scoring form so he's a decent shout away to the Quakes.
4Bjorn JohnsenMTLvs CIN5.2MGreat opportunity should he start.
5Gonzalo HiguainMIA@CHI10.6MHiguain got right back on track in the last game and Chicago look like a good next target for him.
6ChicharitoLA@POR10.4MPortland might turn out to be just the game for an elite poacher like Cheech.
7Cade CowellSJvs SKC5.6M
8Jhonder CádizNSHvs ATX7.5M
9Diego RossiLAFCvs COL8.9M
10Valentin CastellanosNYCvs CLB9.5M

Midfielders

1Carles GilNEvs RBNY11.6MThe midfielder with the highest average points so far (9.33) is the most popular captain pick for this week and for a reason.
2Mauricio PereyraORLvs TOR8.4MHe has mostly been a floor player so far this season but with Nani suspended we could a ceiling game from him soon as his involvement in attack increases.
3Jamiro MonteiroPHI@DC10.5MThe fact that it is an away game shouldn't affect Monteiro much given that it is one of the worst teams in the league.
4Lewis MorganMIA@CHI9.6M
5Randall LealNSHvs ATX7.9M
6Eduard AtuestaLAFCvs COL10.2M
7Djordje MihailovićMTLvs CIN7MHe is an option if you need an attacker against Cincinnati but only off the bench.
8Joao PauloSEAvs ATL9.6M
9Cristian Espinoza SJvs SKC8M
10Fafà PicaultHOUvs VAN6.9M
11Bryan AcostaDALvs RSL7.6M
12Jesus MedinaNYCvs CLB8.9MNYCFC have a big home advantage to their unique stadium and Medina has three goals in his two games at home this season.

Defenders

1Walker ZimmermanNSHvs ATX8.2M
2Brad SmithSEAvs ATL7MThree goals and an assist in five starts isn't too bad for a defender.
3Antonio CarlosORLvs TOR8.1M
4Anton TinnerholmNYCvs CLB7.6MA home game against a team that defends well but isn't as sharp on the attack plus a chance to play out of position? Count me in!
5Ryan HollingsheadDALvs RSL6.1M
6Eddie SeguraLAFCvs COL6.2MLAFC might be at the bottom of the Western conference for now but they won't be there for too long.
7Kamal Miller MTLvs CIN6MEarly switcheroo option against Cincinnati who are yet to win a game.
8Adam Lundqvist HOUvs VAN5.8M
9Rodrigo SchlegelORLvs TOR7M
10BressanDALvs RSL6.9M



Goalkeepers

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Stefan ClevelandSEAvs ATL4.4MAt 4.4M Cleveland seems like a must for any keeperoo and his clean sheet odds aren't bad either.
2Pedro GalleseORLvs TOR7.7MAs much as Toronto are trying to find their way through injuries and suspensions and incorporate their new signings, they still don't look likely to score vs Orlando.
3Joe Willis NSHvs ATX6.7MAustin have shown that they can find space and threaten the opponents away, but can they really score against a stiff Nashville side?
4Phelipe Megiolaro Alves
DALvs HOU5.4MHis potential rise in value and good performance on replacing Maurer is not something to be overlooked.
5Marko MarićHOUvs VAN5.8MHouston seem likely to keep a clean sheet here and Marić could be a great differential pick should they manage to do so

MLS Fantasy Player Rankings for Matchday 4

Leave a comment

After a high scoring third matchday (at least in a fantasy sense), the Fantasy MLS saga continues after the elimination of 3/4 remaining MLS teams from CCL, and ahead of a double game week just 3 days after this one ends, prepare yourselves for an amazing week of Major League Soccer.

We’ve seen some absolutely amazing performances and hauls from cheap players like Smith, Rubio, and Cowell, all three of which are viable in this round too. But who will surprise us all this time and who will flop?

There’s much more to be seen in MD4 and FantasyTipsters brings you the best picks for the week.

1Rubio RubinRSLvs SJ7MAfter a haul we forecasted in our last week's picks he'll be looking for another one as the Quakes arrive at the low air pressure away game in Sandy, UT.
2Gonzalo HiguainMIAvs ATL10.5MBack after a family tragedy, he's motivated to play his best to honor his mother who supported him the most as he has recently stated too.
3Raúl Ruidíaz SEA@POR10.9MNot an easy away game but Ruidiaz remains an elite target this season and boasts an incredible record of seven goals and two assists in his eight games against the Timbers.
4Diego RossiLAFC@LA9.5MA player that caused a lot of team values to drop last week due to his slow injury comeback and mediocre performance but he should now be fitter and more motivated to get his team a victory in the "El Tráfico".
5ChicharitoLAvs LAFC9.5M
6Robert BeričCHIvs PHI9.7MChance to fight back at home after an embarrassing loss against NYRB's youngsters last week.
7Cade CowellSJ@RSL5.4MMight not be the best game for Cowell after that performance last week, but you should never count out the players that are on a hot streak.
8Diego RubioCOL vs MIN8.2M
9Lucas CavalliniVAN vs MTL9M
10Jhonder CádizNSHvs NE8.4M
11Corey BairdLAFC@LA7.8M
12Alan PulidoSKCvs ATX8.7M
13Anderson Julio RSLvs SJ8.1M
14Ricardo PepiDALvs HOU5MA true budget buster in a decent matchup.

Midfielders

1Lucas ZelarayánCLBvs DC8.6MAmong the best players in the league, Zelarayán was rested in midweek CCL action and is playing one of the worst defences so far this season at home, what else can I say?
2NaniORLvs NYC9.7MWhile NYCFC might not be as easy to score against as their opponents from last week, Nani remains a top player and a must-have for many managers.
3Randall LealNSHvs NE8MConsistent, a guaranteed rise in value regardless of performance and always a threat.
4Caden ClarkRBNYvs TOR5.7MThis young wonderkid will look to continue his run of good performances against an unconvincing Toronto side at home.
5Carles GilNE@NSH10.6M
6Cristian Cásseres Jr.RBNYvs TOR7.6MA more experienced option among the Red Bull midfielders is also more likely to return big with his key passes ability.
7Luka StojanovićCHIvs PHI6MA player that's always prowling around the box at his price tag is always a fine option.
8Eduard AtuestaLAFC@LA10.7MAmong the finest midfielders of the game, he will need to be at his top state if LAFC want to win the LA derby this week.
9Jack PriceCOLvs MIN8.6MMight want to check if he starts first after that knock last week.
10Lewis MorganMIAvs ATL8.6M
11Damir KreilachRSLvs SJ7.5MA revelation last round playing at home might be the switcharoo you need.
12Cristian DajomeVANvs MTL7.3M
13Mauricio PereyraORLvs NYC7.9M
14Víctor VázquezLAvs LAFC6.9M
15Diego FagúndezATX@SKC6.1M

Defenders

1Waylon FrancisCLBvs DC5MThe only team that hasn't conceded yet is very likely to keep another clean sheet, so targeting Columbus Crew defenders seems logical.
2Brad SmithSEA@POR6MLast week we saw Smith closer to opposition goal than Ruidiaz on average and he seems to enjoy playing out of position so even an away game makes him a must-have with how involved he is in attack.
3Kevin LeerdamMIAvs ATL5.4M
4Auston TrustyCOLvs MIN6.3MA bonus point machine that has a good chance of getting a clean sheet is always a great pick in my book.
5Cristián GutiérrezVANvs MTL6M
6Walker ZimmermanNSHvs NE7.2MIs he finally due a goal or not?
7Andrew GutmanRBNYvs TOR6.1M
8Rodrigo SchlegelORLvs NYC6M
9Ryan HollingsheadDALvs HOU6.4MA player that was once considered a must-have is still looking for his true self.
10Boris SekulićCHIvs PHI6.3MSekulić has proven he can assist on multiple occasions so far and a clean sheet isn't out of question either but is less likely.



Goalkeepers

1John McCarthyMIAvs ATL5.5MDecent game for him and if the Higuain brothers successfully return and help Miami dominate the game then he shouldn't have a lot to worry about.
2Eloy RoomCLBvs DC7MHis price tag might be pretty high but he hasn't conceded any goals so far and that is not likely to change this week.
3David OchoaRSLvs SJ4.6M
4Phelipe Megiolaro Alves
DALvs HOU4.7MA solid replacement for Maurer with another favorable fixture.
5William YarbroughCOLvs MIN6.8M
