Orlando City Players To Look Out For:
Cyle Larin-FWD: 12.7 FPPG $7,100 -- With three goals in three games, Cyle Larin has proven that he can be a consistent goal scorer this season. No fears of the sophomore slump-- look for Larin to play a strong attacking role in Sunday’s match against Portland.
Kaká-MID: 11.2 FPPG $7,500 -- This is Kaká’s first game of this season. He will be looking to create scoring opportunities early on against a powerhouse team like Portland. Look for him to push the ball up the field, and connect with players like Cyle Larin and Kevin Molino.
Antonio Nocerino-MID: 3.8 FPPG $3600 -- This is Nocerino’s first game at Orlando City playing alongside his former teammate, Kaká. His chemistry with the team has already been impressive and will only continue to improve with Kaká by his side. He will be an integral part of the strong attacking presence Orlando City wants to create.
Around the League:
Joao Plata- FWD: 11.6 FPPG $5,400-- Plata has three goals in three games, along with two assists. Look for him to create goal scoring opportunities in Saturday night’s match against Kansas City.
Mauro Diaz- MID: 17.0 FPPG $7,500-- Diaz is off to a good start to the season, with four assists and one goal in his first four games. Although he is pricey, there’s no doubt FC Dallas will seek to continue their strong start against the Columbus Crew. Look for Diaz to move the ball and continue with the assists.
