After a brief international break hiatus, MLS Fantasy is back!
Round 14 brings a small dose of a double-game week, with four teams playing twice this round. Fantasy managers are once again faced with the decision to go all-in on DGW players, or go with the juicy single-game matchups. Mixing the best of both worlds might be the ticket, so letās dive right in to look at the top plays and values at each position.
Teams on a DGW: NE, ORL, SEA, VAN
Goalkeepers
Stefan Frei and Seattle Sounders FC have conceded only two goals in their last five league games. With a pair of home matches in Round 14, Frei is in a prime position to add another clean sheet to his name, making him a strong option for fantasy managers.

Defenders
Brandon Bye averages 7.36 fantasy points per game, tops among all defenders that are eligible to play twice this round. The New England Revolution right back flashed his attacking upside with a 15-point outburst in Week 12, dishing out three assists in the Revs' 3-2 win over FC Cincinnati.
With two opportunities to rack up both attacking and defensive points, look for Bye to turn up with a notable fantasy score in Round 14.

Midfielders
Carles Gil leads all players with 114 total fantasy points, and with two games to pile up points in, heās easily the first midfielder to click the āADD PLAYERā button on.
Despite no goals or assists in Week 13, the 2021 Landon Donovan MLS MVP still managed to rack up 10 points through a combination of bonus points. Heāll be a popular captain pick given his consistent point hauls week in and week out.

Forwards
Raul Ruidiaz has scored a goal in three consecutive rounds, and heās in a good spot to make it four straight with a pair of favorable home matches against Vancouver Whitecaps FC and LAFC.
With Jordan Morris and Cristian Roldan scheduled to miss the first game of the DGW due to being away with the US menās national team, look for Ruidiaz to continue to shoulder the goal-scoring load in Seattle's attack.
