# 5 Gyasi Zardes – $7.1M – Average Points: 1.80

The first player on the list this week is Gyasi Zardes. The Columbus SC striker has struggled to put the ball in the back of the net this season, but his current listing price of $7.1 Million makes him an excellent value pick-up.

Zardes played the full 90 minutes last week and with Lucas Zelarayán finding his form, expect him to receive quality through balls and service into the box.

Columbus SC will be matched up against Toronto FC this weekend. This will be the second time these two teams have played this year, with Toronto coming away with a 2-0 victory in the first matchup. However, that was Columbus’ third game in a nine-day stretch.

Expect them to have much more energy come Saturday and for Zardes to have multiple chances to score his first goal of the season.

Zardes is currently only owned by 5.77% of all MLS fantasy managers.
