Notes

Despite Round 20 being another DGW, there aren’t many players from the teams that play twice that grab my attention.
In goal, the SGW fallbacks for DGW players aren’t great. For that reason, I have gone with Pedro Gallese as my bench ‘keeper; should he not keep a clean sheet in what is a winnable home fixture against Toronto, I will probably switch to another DGW goalkeeper from one of the later games – this is currently William Yarbrough but may end up being Luis Barraza or Maarten Paes should Orlando concede early against Toronto.
In defence, I have paired Gallese and Yarbrough with Kyle Smith and Danny Wilson, respectively. Wilson has two home games and usually generates a decent number of bonus points, as does Maxime Chanot, who also makes my starting XI.
My final defensive DGW slot is up for grabs. With Diego Palacios suspended for El Tráfico, I have instead selected Ryan Hollingshead, who offers decent attacking potential from fullback despite limited chances of a clean sheet in either of his games (both of which are California derbies). Justin Glad is a SGW fallback.
In midfield, Riqui Puig, Facundo Torres and Lucas Zelarayán are all locks, with the Armenian likely to be my captain despite a couple of disappointing recent displays. My other two midfield berths are line-up dependent. They are currently occupied by Gabriel Pereira and Lorenzo Insigne, although both players are injury doubts.
Gastón Brugman, Connor Ronan and Emmanuel Reynoso are my alternatives should either Pereira or Insigne miss out in midweek. Upfront, shot-happy Cucho Hernández and Dénis Bouanga are locks, with the Colombian vying with Zelarayán for the captaincy.
My final forward slot is also undecided. I have currently opted for Karol Swiderski, who has two reasonable fixtures and a decent floor. However, Federico Bernardeschi, Douglas Costa and Duncan McGuire (if he starts against Toronto) are also in my thoughts.

Defenders: Hollingshead (LAFC; 6.7): Has a DGW fixture vs LA Galaxy and SJE which makes him a good pick. He is a cheap way into LAFC who have good defensive stats this season.
Midfielder: Lucas Zelarayán (CLB; 12.6m) – This season, Lucas Zelarayan is averaging a goal contribution every 90 minutes. The Crew are averaging a league-high 2.7 goals per game at home. This makes him a solid pick.
Midfielder: Cucho Hernandez (CLB), $11.8m ; Cucho Hernandez has scored less than six points just once in his last ten appearances. In that time, he has four goals and seven assists.
Forward: Denis Bouanga (LAFC; 10.9m), Denis Bouanga has in total 11 goals and two assists in 17 games. LAFC have a DGW and Bouanga is the focal point of their attack.
So far this is my Round 20 team.

My ‘keeper-roo this week will consist of Yarbrough ($8.4m) and Gallese ($8.3m).
I’ll be going with a 5-man defence this week, which consists of two safe scrubs. Moreira ($8.5m), Hollingshead ($6.7m) and Tafari ($7.5m) make up the rest of the defence.
Zelarayan ($12.6m) will be my captain this week, with Torres ($10.4m), Ronan ($9.6m) and Bogusz ($8m) being chalk picks.
This weeks punt will be Kamungo ($4.3m) who will take a place on my bench. Up front, I’ll be going with Vela ($9.2m) who does pretty well in El Traffico’s, along with Cucho ($11.8m). I’ll also be taking a punt on Martinez ($7m) who will take a bench place.

96 points in round 19 meant a move up to 1261 in OR.
A few DGWs this round including CLTFC and NYCFC who play on Wednesday which gives you an opportunity for some bench shenanigans.
I’m starting five combined from CLT and NYC right now with an opportunity to see how the bench does in game one. I can put some scrubs in to get bench points if there is a bunch there.
Jozwiak first to go. I like the LA and Columbus DGWs.
It is looking like a Zelarayan captaincy this week for me.

100 points in Round 19 saw me climb up to 82nd overall.
Round 20 is another double gameweek so let’s get straight to my picks.
In goal this week I’m currently looking at Pedro Gallese, he should have a good chance of a clean sheet against Toronto on Tuesday night. Luis Barraza is currently my fallback with NYCFC having a home game against Charlotte FC.
In defence I’ve paired up my goalkeepers with Rafael Santos and Maxime Chanot respectively. My other defenders are Nkosi Tafari, Pedro Santos and Danny Wilson. Tafari is a lock for me this week due to his offensive potential.
Wilson is also a lock for me this week as he’s got two home matchups.
Facundo Torres is a lock for me this week with five goals and ine assist in his last four appearances.
My other midfield picks are currently LA Galaxy duo Gastón Brugman and Riqui Puig with Lucas Zelarayan and Connor Ronan making up the last two midfield spots.
My FWD picks this week are currently Denis Bouanga, Cucho Hernandez and Douglas Costa who seems to have find some form with four assists in his last four appearances.
