#2 Fabrice-Jean Picault – $7.3 M –  Average Points: 5.25

Fabrice-Jean Picault, also known as, Fafa, is listed as a midfielder in MLS Fantasy, but with Houston Dynamo’s current 4-3-3 formation, he lines up as a right forward.

Fafa currently has a goal and an assist for the  Dynamo this season and is the team’s number one penalty kick taker, which is a great attribute to look for when selecting your fantasy team.

With the Houston Dynamo having a double-game week against Sports Kansas City and the Colorado Rapids, Picault will likely up his scoring and assist total. Both teams gave up goals in their last outing.

Picault is currently only owned by 0.64% of all MLS fantasy managers.
