Defenders
Walker Zimmerman | USA Today Sports Images
Walker Zimmermanās 7.0 fantasy points per game (FPPG) average is tied for top billing among all DGW defenders, and a double-digit fantasy point haul should be in order for the center back. LAFC has a real possibility of earning clean sheet points against Dallas this week.

Midfielders
Alejandro Pozuelo | USA Today Sports Images
Alejandro Pozuelo came through with 14 points in Torontoās Week 11 DGW, and you should expect more of the same from the Spanish maestro if he avoids squad rotation. Just below Pozuelo in the rankings, itās worth noting that both Nicolas Lodeiro and Eduard Atuesta are one yellow card away from suspension.

Carlos Vela | USA Today Sports Images
