Willis $4.8 HOU: Who doesn’t love a good GK battle?  Willis is making a claim for the starting role in from of Deric in Houston. Neither are expensive, but neither can really lock down the starting job either.  Will Willis’ assist help him out going forward?  This one may be to messy to select a keeper from Houston.

Allen $5.3 NYC: Allen once again showed he has what it takes this weekend with a beautiful assist to David Villa.  In his three starts, he has an assist and a goal and has not scored less than 5 points.  Allen is going to be a cheap option this week with a massive upside on the DGW.

Accam $9.1 CHI: Accam was a halftime sub in his first game back from injury.  With a DGW in round 11, he would make a solid option or a great differential.  It’s unknown whether he will go a full 180 so soon after injury, but his production is hard to match, especially at that price.

Altidore $9.4 TFC: Altidore is the ideal target forward. Size, strength, speed, and he can finish, but somehow it does’nt translate to fantasy points. After suffering an injury during a PK, he is questionable at best for the DGW.  Look for alternatives in Toronto to fill the void.  It could be Endoh or Babouli who get called upon and each would make great cheap options this round to free up cash for the big names.
