Teams on a BYE: HOU, LAFC, PHI

Goalkeeper

Newcomer Yohei Takaoka has kept a clean sheet in three straight matches, and heā€™s well-positioned to run the shutout streak to four in Round 10. The Japanese shot-stopper has not conceded a goal in the last 320 minutes of league play and has one of the best matchups on the board at home against the Colorado Rapids.

Defenders

Julian Gresselā€™s fantasy value has skyrocketed since transitioning from wingback to attacking midfielder this season. Heā€™s hit double-digit fantasy points in three consecutive rounds, contributing a goal and an assist to go along with three clean sheets. A juicy home matchup with the Colorado Rapids could see Gressel flirt with double-digit points once again in Round 10.

Midfielders

Lucas ZelarayĆ”n was kept off the scoresheet for the first time in four games in last round's Matchday 9 loss to Charlotte FC. With three straight home games incoming, look for ZelarayĆ”n to help the Crew get back on track, starting with Saturdayā€™s clash against Inter Miami CF. The visitors have lost six straight games since kicking off the season with back-to-back wins, which sets the stage for a big bounce-back from ZelarayĆ”n and Columbus.

Forwards

Christian Benteke supplied a goal in D.C. Unitedā€™s big 3-1 win at Orlando in Round 9, snapping a mini-slump that had him stuck at three goals and improving his season tally to four through nine games. Look for Benteke to continue his goal-menacing form against a Charlotte FC unit that's conceded multiple goals in three of four road matches.

Expert advice:

Sporting KC are desperate for their first league win of 2023, and a home match against a CF MontrĆ©al side that's been outscored 14-0 over five straight road defeats presents a golden opportunity for three points. Iā€™m predicting SKC get the job done at home, along with Vancouver and Orlando City.

Vancouver are in a good run of form and Orlando City are looking to right the ship after three consecutive home losses. A Riqui Puig-less LA Galaxy attack could be just what Orlando City need to pull out a win.
