Brad Stuver | USA Today Sports Images


Brad Stuver is set to deputize for Sean Johnson while heā€™s away on international duty, and hosting an FC Cincinnati side on Thursday (7 pm ET | MLS LIVE on ESPN+ in US, DAZ in Canada) who rank dead last in goals scored, he has the best clean sheet odds of any goalkeeper on the board this week.

Anton Tinnerholm | USA Today Sports Images


Anton Tinnerholm has yet to score in 2019 after bagging four goals and adding six assists last season, but the potential for clean sheet points combined with the possibility of making an impact in the attack gives the Swede a high ceiling against Cincinnati.

Maxi Moralez | USA Today Sports Images


Maxi Moralez has contributed a goal or an assist in six of his last seven appearances, and thereā€™s no reason to think he slows down against an FC Cincy defense that has shipped 10 goals over their last three matches.
