Your Matchday 15 (Fantasy Week 14) advice roundup is here! Check out MLS Fantasy positional rankings plus MLS Squad Pick and MLS Parlay Predictor recommendations below.
MLS Fantasy
The first double-game week of the season did not disappoint! Fantasy points were flying, and managers got a glimpse of the impact DGWs can have on the leaderboards. With another condensed DGW looming in Week 15, it’s time to focus in on Week 14 – where we’ll have to continue navigating squad rotation as fixture congestion begins to pile up. Let’s get locked in on the top plays and values at each position.
Teams on a BYE: LAFC
Goalkeeper
Stefan Frei and the Seattle Sounders are in a good “get right” spot at home against a New York Red Bulls side that saw several starters log big minutes in Tuesday’s US Open Cup PK shootout loss to FC Cincinnati. The Sounders will look to right the ship at home against a road-weary Red Bulls attack that’s scored just one goal across their last four away matches.
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Stefan Frei | SEA | vs. RBNY | $9.2 |
2. Djordje Petrovic | NE | vs. CHI | $9.4 |
3. Steve Clark | HOU | vs. ATX | $8.7 |
4. Roman Bürki | STL | vs. VAN | $8.4 |
5. Dayne St. Clair | MIN | vs. RSL | $7.3 |
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Kendall McIntosh | SKC | vs. POR | $4.3 |
2. Jimmy Maurer | DAL | at SJ | $5.1 |
3. Quentin Westberg | ATL | at ORL | $4.5 |
Defenders
Kai Wagner did not disappoint in the first DGW of the season, racking up two clean sheets and 19 points in the process. The set-piece monopoly for Philadelphia keeps us coming back for more, and, even in a somewhat difficult road fixture at New York City FC, he’s one of the most attractive options in a matchday without many mismatches to zero in on.
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Kai Wagner | PHI | at NYC | $8.1 |
2. Yeimar Gómez Andrade | SEA | vs. RBNY | $10.4 |
3. Julian Gressel | VAN | at STL | $11.1 |
4. DeJuan Jones | NE | vs. CHI | $10.1 |
5. Brooks Lennon | ATL | at ORL | $10.3 |
6. Álvaro Barreal | CIN | at COL | $11.5 |
7. Miguel Tapias | MIN | vs. RSL | $8.0 |
8. Daniel Lovitz | NSH | vs. CLB | $8.3 |
9. Richie Laryea | TOR | vs. DC | $9.5 |
10. Alex Roldan | SEA | vs. RBNY | $10.1 |
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
1. George Campbell | MTL | vs. MIA | $4.6 |
3. Ben Sweat | NE | vs. CHI | $4.7 |
3. Malte Amundsen | CLB | at NSH | $5.2 |
Midfielders
Hany Mukhtar continues to carry Nashville SC – scoring two goals, adding an assist and delivering 20 points in two wins during Week 13. He’s back to the form that saw him win the 2022 Landon Donovan MLS MVP award, and he’ll look to keep it rolling at home on Sunday against a Columbus Crew side that just shipped three goals to FC Cincinnati.
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Hany Mukhtar | NSH | vs. CLB | $13.3 |
2. Thiago Almada | ATL | at ORL | $14.3 |

Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Tyler Boyd | LA | vs. CLT | $5.6 |
2. Memo Rodríguez | LA | vs. CLT | $5.2 |
3. Ethan Finlay | ATX | at HOU | $4.0 |
Forwards
With no clear-cut locks this week, I’m eying forwards who may have added opportunities to make a mark on the scoresheet. Both Johnny Russell and Dániel Sallói have been standing over a sizeable share of set pieces for Sporting KC, and Russell has contributed a goal and an assist across his last three outings. Look for both attackers to see plenty of chances in a good matchup at home against Portland.
Also high on the radar is Ercan Kara, who has found the back of the net in three straight matches. Plus, up next for the Austrian striker is a home matchup against an Atlanta United side that has conceded multiple goals in four of their last five games.
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Johnny Russell | SKC | vs. POR | $7.5 |
2. Ercan Kara | ORL | vs. ATL | $8.7 |
3. Dániel Sallói | SKC | vs. POR | $7.4 |
4. Jeremy Ebobisse | SJ | vs. DAL | $9.2 |
5. Giorgos Giakoumakis | ATL | at ORL | $8.8 |
6. Cucho Hernández | CLB | at NSH | $10.0 |
7. Chicharito | LA | vs. CLT | $7.0 |
8. Jesús Ferreira | DAL | at SJ | $9.7 |
9. Christian Benteke | DC | at TOR | $9.1 |
10. Jordan Morris | SEA | vs. RBNY | $8.5 |
Player | Team | Opponent | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Dante Vanzeir | RBNY | at SEA | $5.6 |
2. Jáder Obrian | DAL | at SJ | $5.2 |
3. Gyasi Zardes | ATX | at HOU | $4.9 |
1. Hany Mukhtar | NSH | vs. CLB | $13.3 |
2. Thiago Almada | ATL | at ORL | $14.3 |
3. Johnny Russell | SKC | vs. POR | $7.5 |

Expert advice:
I’m riding the hot hand with Ercan Kara. Atlanta United are shipping goals at a high clip, and Kara is in a good spot to score for the fourth consecutive game. After that, I’m looking to tried-and-true goal scorers in Chicharito and Jeremy Ebobisse, who both have enticing home matchups to target. Johnny Russell and Hany Mukhtar round out my squad, as both attackers will continue to be highly relied upon to produce goals on Sunday.

Expert advice:
My home-favorite strategy continues to flirt with the perfect parlay, and after hitting four of six in Round 13, I’m going right back to the well. I’ve got four of six home teams winning this week with a pair of draws sprinkled in. I like Colorado over FC Cincinnati after seeing several key Cincy players log big minutes in Tuesday’s US Open Cup fixture. Keep in mind that some squad rotation is likely with another double-game week coming up next round – another factor to consider when making your predictions.
