Orlando City: Kaka
Real Salt Lake: Joao Plata, Javier Morales
Los Angeles Galaxy: Giovani Dos Santos
PLAYER RECOMMENDATIONS
GOALKEEPER
Brian Rowe, LAG at RSL: The Galaxy have three clean sheets in their last 10 matches, though only one in their last eight. Meanwhile, the Impact, Orlando City and Real Salt Lake have two each in their last 10 matches. Needless to say, there seems to be little reason to pay up for a goalkeeper on this slate expecting a clean sheet win. While Nick Rimando isn't much more expensive than Rowe (and he's at home), the salary savings can be used for the strong attackers on the slate, all of whom could make the goalkeeper selection moot.
DEFENDER
Ambroise Oyongo, MTL v. ORL: Expecting the Impact to post a clean sheet may be tough, but with Cyle Larin and Kevin Molino away on international duty, Oyongo should be able to move up in the attack. Montreal spread their corners around, but Oyongo has consistently been one of the options, giving him a nice floor in a game with plenty of upside thanks to Orlando City's weaker attack.
Jeff Larentowicz, LAG at RSL:Nigel de Jong's move to Galatasaray opened up a big spot in the defensive midfield for Larentowicz, who isn't a big upside player,

Montreal spread their corners around, but Oyongo has consistently been one of the options, giving him a nice floor in a game with plenty of upside thanks to Orlando City's weaker attack.
Jeff Larentowicz, LAG at RSL:Nigel de Jong's move to Galatasaray opened up a big spot in the defensive midfield for Larentowicz, who isn't a big upside player, but he does at least get a shot to be slightly closer to goal. His peripheral stats are far from extraordinary, but his low price allows for higher spending in the attacking positions.
Robbie Rogers, LAG at RSL: Rogers has returned from his ankle injury with a bang, sending in 11 crosses in his first game back before picking up an assist (and four crosses) in his next match. The RSL attack is admittedly strong, but Rogers should still get enough opportunities to move up.
MIDFIELDER
Giovani Dos Santos, LAG at RSL: With Steven Gerrard (hamstring) out, Dos Santos will continue to take corners for the Galaxy, giving him a solid floor in addition to his attacking upside. He has a goal in two of his last three games while sending in 16 crosses over that span. With Robbie Keane ruled out yet again, Dos Santos will be responsible for even more of the attack.
Sebastian Lletget, LAG at RSL: Lletget doesn't have the upside of Dos Santos, but that's why you can have him for $4,200 less on DraftKings. That being said, he's been able to produce across multiple stat categories, putting up five shots (three on target), five crosses, six fouls drawn, nine tackles and three interceptions over his last three games.
Julio Baptista, ORL at MTL: With Larin and Molino both away for international duty, Baptista should get a shot to start, something he's done just thrice in the past eight matches. He's never one to shy away from taking a shot, and he actually draws a decent number of fouls, but his upside is more salary-based (it's cheap) than fantasy points.
FORWARD
Didier Drogba, MTL v. ORL: Drogba has scored in only one of his last nine games, but there's little reason to think he won't be able to break out against an Orlando City side that's conceded 10 goals in their last six road matches, including multiple goals in five. Drogba may not have found the back of the net in his last five, but he's taken 16 shots over that span, and he's likely to pepper the goal even more Wednesday night.
Yura Movsisyan, RSL v. LAG: Hosting the Galaxy may cause a moment of hesitation, but that's all it should be given their lack of defensive fortitude. Joao Plata is the more versatile fantasy producer, but he's also more expensive. Nevertheless, Movsisyan has taken 29 shots in his last six starts (not including a 44-minute outing at Seattle when he suffered an injury), and he'll likely get a little more freedom in the attack without having to worry about De Jong flying in with a two-footed tackle that could end his season.
Emmanuel Boateng, LAG at RSL: With Keane rule out again, Boateng should be able to get another start. He's been getting more playing time of late and producing across the stat sheet, taking six shots, sending in 15 crosses, winning seven tackles and intercepting 10 passes in his last four starts. His upside isn't as high as Keane's, but neither is his salary.
