#4 Sergio Santos – $6.6 M – Average Points: 1.25

Next on the list is Sergio Santos of the Philadelphia Union. The Union do not have to play the CONCACAF Semi-final until August 11th, and so they can finally focus on defending last year’s Supporters Shield.

Santos has only started two games out of the four this season for Jim Curtin’s side. However, he started the second leg of the Champions League against Atlanta United, so he is clearly one of the top eleven for this year’s team.

The Brazillian striker led the team in goals last season along with Przybylko, where they both finished with eight.

With Philadelphia having a double-game week and both games being at home, it is likely for us to see Santos play his first full 90 of the year and earn either a goal or an assist in one of the two games, if not both.

Santos is currently only owned by 0.4% of all MLS fantasy managers.
