Now that Zusi has fallen from the place of “golden captain” I actually found picking one a bit more fun this week. Yeah, perhaps that crazy, but it was like a flood gate of options were opened up and I think we have a few good options.
Keep reading to see who our picks are.
Options
- Landon Donovan
The big point getter from last week. It was a big relief for many to see him not get a call to the USMNT. With Keane still around, there is always a chance for more points. - Robbie Keane
With the connections that Landon and Keance were making last week, it’s hard to not have him on this list too, and for similar reasons. - Thierry Henry
A little hit or miss, but with Columbus suffering from some defensive losses, this could be a good chance for him to shine for a home crowd. HE did not play at NE so he has 2 goals in 2 games. - Javier Morales
I can’t figure out how Morales only got 1 assist in the thumping they gave Chivas last week, but he’s been playing well the last few games and, well, Chicago. - Will Johnson
A little hit and miss after scoring his two PKs, but he’s grabbed a goal in the last two games and DC is not exactly known for winning. He’s got as good a shot as any. - Rodney Wallace
He’ll be leaving soon, but the current DC form makes a goal from Wallace seem possible and a nice bonus from a clean sheet. - Graham Zusi
Still good enough to make our list, Zusi is in for a hard game against Houston. He got some good points last week from bonus points, but goals are always nice. Collin may be the better SKC choice this week.
Top 3
- Javier Morales
His form, his matchup, and a home game make him out top choice this week. - Landon Donovan
You have to respect the connect he and Keane have, but I think a lot of those points came from a HUGE breakdown in the Philly defense last week. Seattle should be stronger. - Thierry Henry
I’m still unsure about Henry, but this pick is more about the Columbus defensive problems this week. Henry is always hungry to score so he has a good chance to capitalize.
Runner-up
- Rodney Wallace
Wallace is a nice little differential pick this week, especially is DC stay with their current form.

Write up tomorrow. Only change is I may just Swap Okugo for Hedges.
How’s it look?
Good team & I agree with the transfers! I would leave Hedges in (in case he plays) since Dallas has a good chance for a shutout. If he doesn’t play, have Okugo be your first off the bench.
Making the full post now actually.
