The leader this round was Pitch PerfectFC with a score of 103 points. Fun fact: They’re the only team to score more than 100 points in a round since round 6, and they’ve done it twice. Nouhou Big Summer Blowout is still the overall leader, though that lead is now down to 3 points.

Positional Leaders

Goalkeepers
Orlando’s Pedro Gallese ($7.5) led the keepers with 9 points on a clean sheet. Trailing him was a trio of players on 8 points, with Dayne St. Clair (MIN, $9.1) and CJ Dos Santos (SD, $7.1) each keeping a clean sheet, and Rafael Cabral (RSL, $7.6) saving a penalty. DCU’s Luis Barraza ($5.4) scored 2 points.

Defenders
The goalscoring duo of Anthony Markanich (MIN, $5.8) and Nouhou Tolo (SEA, $7.4) tied for the positional lead with 14 points, as the former added a clean sheet, and the latter an assist. Jefferson Diaz (MIN, $8.2) rounded out the top three with 11 points on a clean sheet and an assist. The D.C. defense featured David Schnegg ($4.3) and Conner Antley ($4.4) with 3 points each, Aaron Herrera ($6.8) and Matti Peltola ($4.3) with 2, and Lukas MacNaughton ($4.9) and Derek Dodson ($4.0) with 1.

Midfielders
Sixteen points was enough to lead the midfield, with both Cristian Espinoza (SJ, $11.8), who scored twice, and Anders Dreyer (SD, $11.4) compiling a goal and two assists, reaching the mark. Meanwhile it was Albert Rusnak (SEA, $12.2) in third with a goal and 13 points. Hosei Kijima ($5.9) led the United midfield with 7 points, followed by Brandon Servania ($5.2) with 4, and Jared Stroud ($5.7) with 2.

Forwards
San Diego’s Chucky Lozano ($10.3) tallied a brace and an assist on the way to 18 points, leading the forwards and all players. Trailing him were San Jose teammates Cristian Arango ($12.1) and Ousseni Bouda ($4.5), both of whom paired a goal with an assist for 12 points. For DCU it was Christian Benteke ($11.4) with 8 points, while both Jacob Murrell ($4.1) and Dominique Badji ($4.0) scored 1.

Looking Ahead
This week I like Carlos Coronel (NYR, $7.9) in goal at home against the hapless Galaxy, and Tayvon Gray (NY, $6.2) looks like a good budget option in defense, at home vs. similarly hapless Montreal. Carles Gil (NE, $11.1) looks strong in midfield at Orlando, and I like Hugo Cuypers (CHI, $11.4) at forward vs. Atlanta.
