Goalkeepers
A case can be made for several DGW goalkeepers this round. Of the high-end options, Maxime Crepeau and LAFC are in a good bounceback spot against a Houston Dynamo team that is winless in six straight matches.
Eloy Room jumps out as a good value play, with the Columbus Crew hosting a pair of winnable home games versus Inter Miami and Chicago.

Defenders
Kai Wagner tallied his 12th assist of the season in Philadelphiaās 6-0 dismantling of Colorado last round. After clean sheet points and bonus points were added in, Wagner finished with a whopping 16 points to bump his impressive season total up to 211 points. Thatās good for second overall behind only Hany Mukhtar, strengthening the case to lock Wagner in with two chances to pile up points this round.

Midfielders
Hany Mukhtar has hit the $16 million mark, and heās produced quite the numbers to back the lofty price tag up. The Nashville SC star has averaged over 14 fantasy points per game across his last four appearances, contributing four goals and five assists during that span. With two home games incoming, and Nashville SC hitting their stride, look for Mukhtar to continue to stuff the stat sheet.
