The Ghanaian is the only defender to play in every match for the MLS CUP defending champions this season.
One reason for that is because he has excellent defensive position and constantly disrupts the opposing team’s attack.
This season, Afful has collected four bonus points due to ball recoveries and ranks in the top-20 for interceptions with 19. His teammate Jonathan Mensah only has 10.
Columbus Crew will host the Chicago Fire in their next game, giving them a high chance to earn a shutout, as the Fire have failed to score a goal in four of their seven matches this season.
Afful is currently only owned by3.55% of all MLS fantasy managers.
