The Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs are back for Leg 2 of the Conference Championships Sunday, which means another opportunity to play DraftKings!
Pick your MLS Conference Championhsip lineup on DraftKings
Drafting from this week's limited player pool will be all about finding the hidden gems among the usual heavy hitters. With that in mind, here are some picks for the round:
Goalkeepers
Sleeper Pick: Jesse Gonzalez ($4,400) allowed three goals on the road to the Portland Timbers last weekend, but expect that number to be closer to zero back at Toyota Stadium this Sunday.
Defenders
Obvious Pick:Harrison Afful ($4,400) is still one of the most consistent defenders in terms of DraftKings points since he's been inserted into the Crew SC backline. He's scored 12 points or more in his last five starts.
Budget Pick:Zach Loyd ($2,700) has a low ceiling, but he also has a low floor for his price. He's scored at last five points in seven of the last eight matches for FC Dallas.
Midfielders
Obvious Pick:Mauro Diaz ($7,500) has averaged more than 20 fantasy points per game over his last seven starts, and will be at home looking to lead FC Dallas to the MLS Cup.
Sleeper Pick:Lloyd Sam ($6,300) has been pretty quiet in his last couple starts, but if the Red Bulls' offense starts clicking this weekend, odds are good that he'll be involved in the action.
Forwards
Obvious Pick:Kei Kamara ($8,500) has three goals in his last two games, and even when he doesn't score, he still takes plenty of shots, so he's a safe play.
Budget Pick:David Texeira ($4,500) scored FC Dallas' lone, but crucial, away goal in Portland last weekend. Expect him to have more opportunities on Sunday.
Which match are you most looking forward to watching this weekend? Good luck, and happy Thanksgiving weekend!
