#3 Tomas Pochettino – $6.9 M – Average Points: 3.5

Tomas Pochettino will have two chances to gain a quality fantasy score this week as the Austin FC are one of just two teams on a double game week.

The first match will be against Sporting KC, a team he had four fantasy points against in their first matchup this season. However, the second game is what makes the Argentinan midfielder an enticing pickup.

On the second leg of Austin’s double-game week, they will have their home-opener as an MLS franchise against the San Jose Earthquakes.

Pochettino is currently only owned by1.52% of all MLS fantasy managers.
