#1 Byran Acosta – $8.0 M – Average Points: 5.43

Bringing home the number one spot for MLS Fantasy sleepers in week eight is Byran Acosta of FC Dallas.

The Honduran midfielders in the engine of this FC Dallas side. He has played in every minute this season and has earned at least five fantasy points in all but one game this season, despite not scoring a goal and only having one assist this season.

Dallas has been playing better soccer than their record implies. They have a +0.5 expected goal difference, which is seventh-best in the Western Conference.

Luchi Gonzalez and his side will look to start the second quarter of the season on a high note as they will host Minnesota United in their upcoming game.

Acosta is currently only owned by 0.96% of all MLS fantasy managers.
