Welcome to my Round 5 Punts and Differentials. Last week only had 3 games and most players were about the 5% ownership threshold, so I didn’t have any Punts/Differentials.
This week we have many big names back in training or injured. Gio, Plata, GDS are back with their teams. Piatti, Ciman, Quioto, Martinez and Benny are OUT.
Keepers
- Bava – CHI – 5.1 Mil @ 2.7 % Ownership
Defenders
- CHI plays at home vs a decimated MTL team. Piatti is out, Ciman is injured and MTL have only scored 3 goals total. CHI have a good chance of putting up a CS.
- Meira – CHI – 5.5 Mil @ 1.8 % Ownership and has racked up the BP’s in the first 2 games of the season. The Fire were down to 10 men for most of the game vs ATL, thus the 1 pt performance. I expect him to return to form this week.
- Hagglund – TFC – 5.0 Mil @ 0.7 % Ownership
Midfielders
- TFC Defense has a great shot at a CS this week. It is their home opener, they are getting Gio back, and the 3 headed monster of Gio/Jozy/Bradley looks to be fully fit and healthy. I can see TFC not only getting a CS but racking up the BP’s vs a SKC team that is without Benny, Espinoza and possibly Zusi.
- Higuain – CLB – 9.7 Mil @ 4.4 % Ownership
- Pipa has played 90 minutes in the past 4 games and has tallied 23 pts(5.75 PPG). CLB are running on all cylinders right now and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
- Rusnak – RSL – 9.0 Mil @ 2.3 % Ownership
Forwards
- We all know the drill by now. Load up on any offensive players that are playing against MNUFC. I am hoping for Rusnak to have a breakout game. I think he is definitely worth the gamble this week.
- Accam/Niko – CHI – 9.4 Mil @ 1.9/1.5 % Ownership
Other Round 5 Punts and Differentials to Consider
- As I mentoned earlier, I think CHI put up goals this week vs a MTL defense that is without Ciman. I think either of these picks would suffice if you’re looking for a differential.
- FWD- Lennon – RSL
- MID- Acosta – DCU, Blanco – PDX
- DEF- Fabinho – PHI , Vincent – CHI
- GK- Irwin/Bono – TFC
What are your Punts/Differentials this week?
People, don’t be led astray by Jay or Jason (no one really knows what his first name is) he doesn’t love you all, unless you give him money.
Only for Paetron. I work Pro Bono for Fantasy.
Interestingly that is also my take on the TFC goalkeeping situation
I like either one this week, but Bava fits my budget better. He also gives me more flexibility to get more bang for my buck in other positions!
I think you missed my really funny pun! #ProBono
