Goalkeepers

Drake Callender and Pedro Gallese are the only two goalkeepers with the potential to play twice this round, and both are high on the fantasy radar with Inter Miami and Orlando City on the playoff bubble. Callender kept a clean sheet at Toronto last round, and with two home games this week heā€™ll be called upon to keep Miamiā€™s postseason hopes alive.

Defenders

Damion Lowe put up nine fantasy points in Miamiā€™s 1-0 win over Toronto, and with a lack of standout DGW defenders he gets the nod as the top option given his ability to accrue bonus points.

If youā€™re really looking to gain some ground, Orlando Cityā€™s Joao Moutinho could supply an attacking spark from the back. Heā€™s sent in six crosses in three straight matches and has big fantasy upside if he can make an impact on both ends of the field.

Midfielders

Facundo Torres has come alive down the stretch, scoring four goals and adding three assists over Orlandoā€™s last eight matches. Heā€™s a big reason why the Lions currently sit above the playoff line and heā€™ll look to carry that momentum into the last two games of the season to help Orlando City punch a ticket to the Audi 2022 MLS Cup Playoffs.

Forwards

The stage is set for Gonzalo Higuain to finish his career with a storybook ending. The iconic striker announced his retirement this week, and heā€™ll look to go out on a high note in helping Inter Miami secure a berth in the Audi 2022 MLS Cup Playoffs. Heā€™s scored or assisted in eight of the last nine games, and with two home games this round heā€™s in prime position to finish with a bang.
