Lee Nguyen ($11.2m – 10.7% Ownership)
Nguyen has been on a nice run of form recently earning a goal or assist in 5 of his last 6 games. This week he takes on an Orlando team that is missing many of their starting players and has the worst away defense in the league. That’s good news for fantasy owners and makes him my top captain pick for Round 27.
Obafemi Martins ($11.8m – 20.0% Ownership)
The clear winner of the r/FantasyMLS captain poll this week, Martins will be looking to add more to his goal tally since coming back from injury. Even if Martins is not paired up with Dempsey for this game, Toronto’s away record is one of the wort in the league, and he has a high chance of scoring.
