Week 5 preview

Doubles and blanks
We finally have our first doubles of the season! RSL and Montreal have double gameweeks. There's not a lot of options in the Montreal lineup that are worth owning, but RSL is chalk full of them. Saborio and Morales made their returns in Portland and are now worth owning alongside the regulars of Beltran, Espindola, and Rimando. RSL have another double coming up in addition to this week, so you would be foolish to not double or triple up on RSL players right now.

There are three teams with blanks this week: Houston, Philly, and Chicago.

Montreal and RSL not only have doubles this week, but they also top our predicted goals scored rankings. Nyassi is the pick from Montreal while Saborio, Morales, and Espindola are all worth owning for RSL.

Salt Lake also tops our defensive rankings this week. San Jose has had a great season so far defensively and I've recommended Beitashour a few times already. Dallas is another good defense with a good match-up this week and those player should be played.
