FantasyRound24_Gazdag

A pair of rescheduled games due to Leagues Cup means we get an impromptu micro double game week in Round 24 of MLS Fantasy. The Columbus Crew and Philadelphia Union play twice this round, and with both squads boasting big fantasy potential, letā€™s take a closer look at the top players with two bites at the apple along with the best of the rest to fit in around your DGW players.

Teams on a DGW: CLB, PHI

Teams on a BYE: SKC

Goalkeepers

Prior to departing for the Olympics, Patrick Schulte churned out a clean sheet in three of his previous five MLS regular season appearances. He has the best shutout odds of the two GKā€™s who could play twice this week, but with Columbus boasting a strong selection of field players to roster, the decision will have to be made whether or not to burn a DGW spot on a GK.

Defenders

Kai Wagner was on a tear heading into Leagues Cup, averaging 11 fantasy points per round across Rounds 20-22. He dished out four assists over that span, and as the Unionā€™s primary set piece taker he comes with a good fantasy floor and high ceiling on a DGW.

Midfielders

Daniel Gazdag struck for a hat trick in Philadelphiaā€™s last DGW, notching a Dream Team-worthy 24 points in Round 22. With a lack of standout double gameweek midfielders, Gazdag warrants a serious look as the Unionā€™s go-to penalty kick taker.

Forwards

Cucho Hernandez put the Columbus Crew on his back en route to lifting the Leagues Cup and taking home the Best Player award. Cucho hit 17 points in his last DGW, and heā€™s scored or assisted in seven consecutive MLS Fantasy rounds. The Crewā€™s attacking trio of Cucho, Diego Rossi and Christian Ramirez comes with big potential on a DGW and each are worthy of roster consideration this week.
