Fantasy: Week 32 positional rankings

Miguel Almiron - Atlanta United - Fantasy


Reid and Mike pair up to review all of the fantasy takeaways from Round 31 before diving into all of the action coming up in Round 32. They start with a quick conversation about the surprisingly productive Round 31 which includes a quick side conversation about how to classify New England and we figure out what Mike has against Seattle. Shots are fired during their game-by-game review of Round 32 as both Reid and Mike poke fun at some of their player picks, but they take time to point out several budget options.



Weā€™re coming down the home stretch.


The arrival of Week 32 means there are just four weeks left to make a run up the MLS Fantasy leaderboards. Letā€™s dive right in and look at the top players at each position.

Goalkeepers


Despite conceding two goals to the New York Red Bulls in Week 31, Brad Guzan still managed to post a serviceable seven point fantasy score thanks his penalty-kick save on Kaku. Heā€™s averaging over seven points per game across his last four outings, and with the Supportersā€™ Shield race red-hot, we can expect another big effort from Guzan on Saturday against the New England Revolution (3:30 pm ET | Univision, Twitter ā€” Full TV & streaming info).

Graham Zusi hasnā€™t made an impact on the scoresheet since Week 23, but he continues to churn out bonus points and he has a good matchup at home against the LA Galaxy (8:30 pm ET | TV & streaming info).

Midfielders


Miguel Almiron was kept in check by the Red Bulls in Week 31, but heā€™s in a good spot to get back on track at home against the New England Revolution this week. Almiron leads all players with 268 fantasy points on the season and heā€™s in the captain conversation again after we all saw Toronto FC dismantle the Revs.

Forwards


Sebastian Giovinco has scored nine or more points in each of his last seven starts. That type of consistency justifies his lofty $14 million price tag, and thereā€™s no reason to think the Atomic Ant slows down with TFC in a must-win spot against a spiraling Vancouver side on Saturday (5 pm ET | TSN ā€” Full TV & streaming info).
