Captain Options

Rayan Raveloson is a proper box-to-box midfielder. He has scored three goals in the last four games. He also gets a lot of points from his all-action display from the center of the park.

Jeremy Ebobisse has three goals from ten appearances this season. The Portland striker is very good in the air and also has a high pass percentage ratio for a forward.

Differential Picks

Marvin Loria could be pivotal for the away side. He has two goals and an assist this season with a passing percentage of 87.8.

Ethan Zubak could prove to be the ultimate differential pick. He would be leading the line for the home side in place of an in form Chicharito.
