The Contenders

370. Mauro Diaz is back on the field and seemingly has assist falling out of his pockets. With Lamah darting through onto passes and Urriti curling balls into the side netting, FC Dallas looks to have it’s swagger back. Getting Diaz and Acosta back is likely a factor. Even with the offense clicking, FC Dallas needed the post to deny Zlatan late before the points were assured. https://twitter.com/LAGalaxy/status/995419977980067840. 4-1-4. Previous: 9th. FC Dallas. 8. team

Previous: 2nd. Orlando City SC. 6. team. 327. Orlando City came into the game against Atlanta United feeling confident based on their recent form. Having been beaten at home by the best team in the league, Orlando City could be seen as comeback frauds who feasted on a home heavy schedule filled with weak opponents. Those late game comebacks will not work against MLS best.. 6-3-1

4. team. 373. Robles held strong, VAR gave the team some wings to fly out with 3 points. Never did the Red Bulls have control of the game, with nothing in possession really proving a constant threat. Royer got another goal and continues to log hard miles in midfield but not much else. Valot and Murillo were beaten all game, but Long cleaned up most messes. Tyler Adams had an off game and RBNY had more than the usual errant pass that stronger teams would have punished.. 6-3-0. Previous: 4th. New York Red Bulls
