Orlando City travels to take on Columbus Crew SC on Saturday night for their third consecutive away match. We’ve done your scouting report for you, and here are some players to lookout for!
Haven’t tried DraftKings? It’s easy. Each player is given a salary cap of $50,000 to draft their eleven player lineup. Players’ salaries are determined by their on-field performance, FPPG, or Fantasy Points Per Game.
Joe Bendik 4.9 FPPG $3,900 – Orlando’s last line of defense will have to be stellar on Saturday against Columbus’s growing threat in Ola Kamara. Kamara has nine goals on the season, including five in his last six matches. While the back line will try and shut him down, leave it to Joe to step up and make one of his signature saves against one of the league’s top scorers.
Julio Baptista 4.6 FPPG $3,800 – Julio got the start against Vancouver last week and opened the scoring for City in the eventual 2-2 draw. His presence was a spark for the Orlando offense, which dominated much of the opening 30 minutes of that match. Whether he’s starting or coming on late, Baptisto looks to continue making an impact on the pitch.
Brek Shea 6.6 FPPG $5,800 – Coming off his one-match suspension, Brek will look to return and make a strong impact for his side. Interim coach Bobby Murphy has brought him up on the wing for his past two matches, so expect Shea to return to that role in Murphy’s final fixture at the helm. Brek’s presence will spread the defense and open up scoring chances for City, especially with Cyle Larin in the box.
