MLS Fantasy is back, and there are double-game weeks galore! Keep in mind that both matches of the DGW will no longer count towards a playerās weekly score ā only the highest score of the two matches will count towards your fantasy point total. With that being said, there are merits in loading up on DGW players since they have two chances to record a strong score. Letās dive right in and take a look at the top fantasy options at each position this week.

Goalkeepers
Brad Guzan and Atlanta United will be eager to bounce back from a dismal showing at the MLS is Back Tournament, and theyāll have ample opportunity to turn things around with upcoming fixtures against both expansion sides. Nashville SC have two goals as an MLS club, while Inter Miami CF have scored a meager three goals through their first five games.

Reto Ziegler celebrates a goal for FC Dallas | USA Today Sports Images
Reto Ziegler helped FC Dallas keep a clean sheet in their last match, and heāll be relied upon for defensive coverage while they sort out their attack. He stands over a share of set pieces and is their primary penalty kick taker, giving him some attacking upside.

Midfielders
Will Nicolas Lodeiro be back celebrating with goals and assists? | USA Today Sports Images
Nicolas Lodeiro returned to action at the MLS is Back Tournament, and he'll receive some help with Joao Paulo back in training. He has two road games this week, but that might not be a disadvantage without fans in the stands. The Uruguayan attacker has historically been a player you donāt want to be caught without during a DGW.

Forwards
Carlos Vela is back after missing the MLS is Back Tournament and heās simply too much of a game-changer for LAFC to leave out. The 2019 Landon Donovan MLS MVP is fully capable of making an impact off the bench, but it wouldnāt be surprising to see Vela back in the starting lineup piling up goals and assists per usual.
