Defenders
Yeimar Gomez Andrade has played a big part in Seattleās early season success, netting double-figure point hauls in three of his last four outings. In addition to potential clean sheet points in favorable home matchups with RSL and Vancouver, heās been a bonus point magnet and the Columbian is a safe bet to deliver a serviceable score regardless of shutouts

Midfielders
Carles Gil dished out a pair of assists in Week 8 and he now leads the league with seven assists on the season. Heās averaged 11 fantasy points per game across his last five appearances, making it well-worth paying the lofty $13 million price tag to lock in arguably the best creator in Major League Soccer.

Forwards
Raul Ruidiaz was back among the goals upon returning from a brief international stint with Peru. He was surprisingly omitted from their Copa America roster, setting him up for a big week with juicy home matchups against Real Salt Lake and Vancouver. Ruidiaz will look to create some separation at the top of the MLS Golden Boot presented by Audi leaderboard, where heās currently tied with Chicharito on seven goals.
