2022 MLS Fantasy Round 15 Positional Rankings

Twenty-six teams are in action for Round 15 of MLS Fantasy ā€“ get ready to load up on potential All-Stars.

The round's first match begins Friday night when FC Cincinnati host Orlando City SC (7:30 pm ET | MLS LIVE on ESPN+), so letā€™s dive right in to look at the top plays and values at each position.

Goalkeepers

Stefan Frei once again is a great option to start in between the sticks as Seattle Sounders FC host Sporting Kansas City on Saturday afternoon (3 pm ET | ABC, ESPN Deportes). The visitors are coming off a midweek US Open Cup match and rank in the bottom five of goals scored this season with 16.

Defenders

While the Philadelphia Union have a tough matchup at home against reigning MLS Cup champions New York City FC (Sunday, 6 pm ET | FS1, FOX Deportes), Kai Wagner is a promising option in defense.

Philly's left back has the second-most fantasy points among defenders this season, behind Alexander Callens, and tallied 11 points when the Union faced NYCFC in Round 4. Moreover, the Cityzens are coming off a 3-0 Open Cup loss to the New York Red Bulls on Wednesday and are getting used to playing under interim head coach Nick Cushing.

Midfielders

If you're looking for a player to shift your place in the standings, Luciano Acosta is a good choice. After only playing 12 minutes for Cinncinati in Round 14, Acosta should be well-rested to put in a full shift against Orlando City.

Acosta has 103 fantasy points this season, trailing only Carles Gil (130) for most among midfielders. Yet he's still only owned by 6.22% of fantasy managers.

Forwards

Sebastian Ferreira should make a big impact for Houston Dynamo FC, as they'll play host to Chicago Fire FC on Saturday evening (8 pm ET | UniMas, TUDN, Twitter).

The Designated Player has been directly involved in seven of the Dynamo's last nine goals (five goals, two assists) and should fancy his chances against a Fire side that's won once in eight away games this year.
