Defenders


All New York City FC defenders are in play in Week 7, with Anton Tinnerholm garnering the top spot based on his attacking upside. He has a goal in each of his last two games and his price wonā€™t break the bank.

Midfielders


Maxi Moralez is the third-highest scoring player in the game and with two games on deck he warrants serious captain consideration. Minutes equal production, so itā€™s pick your poison with the rest of the NYCFC midfield as double-digit points are within reach for any them this week.

Forwards


All eyes will be on New York City FCā€™s starting lineup on Wednesday to see if David Villa is included. Heā€™s back in training, and if he starts the first game heā€™s a lock at forward with the potential for two bites at the apple.
