Goalkeeper
Yohei Takaoka stopped a penalty kick to register his fourth consecutive clean sheet in Round 10. Up next he faces a Minnesota United FC attack that has sputtered of late, failing to score in each of their last two matches. Also worthy of consideration are Stefan Frei and Steve Clark, who have yet to concede a goal at home in 2023.

Defenders
Julian Gressel turned in a good all-around performance to come away with 12 points in Round 10, marking the fourth straight matchday he’s topped double digits. He’s in another strong spot at home against a Minnesota side that are scoreless in two straight, putting him back in captain consideration with the opportunity to rack up points across the board.

Midfielders
With three goals and three assists across his last five appearances, Hany Mukhtar continues to remind everyone why he was the 2022 Landon Donovan MLS MVP. He’ll look to continue to fuel the Nashville SC attack against a Chicago Fire FC team that has allowed multiple goals in each of their last two road matches.

Forwards
While Jesús Ferreira failed to make an impact on the scoresheet for the first time in four matches in Round 10, he continues to operate as the primary attacking threat for FC Dallas. The return of Alan Velasco could help open up more opportunities for Ferreira against expansion St. Louis CITY SC, who have lost three of their last five after their hot start to the season.

---|---|---|---|
1. Jesús Ferreira | DAL | vs. STL | $9.3 |

Expert advice:
After a slow start to his MLS career, Evander has looked dangerous over his last two outings. The Brazilian fired off seven shots and converted a PK last weekend, and he’ll look to keep the momentum rolling against an Austin FC team that has conceded multiple goals in three of their last four matches.
I’m filling the rest of my squad out with the usual suspects in Hany Mukhtar, Jesús Ferreira, Chicharito and Jordan Morris – who should each see their fair share of opportunities with good matchups at home this weekend.
