# 5 Josef Martinez – $7.6M – Average Points: 3.00

The first player to crack the sleeper list this week is Josef Martinez of Atlanta United. The former MLS MVP is an incredible value pick as his current listing price is $7.6 million.

Martinez has missed the last three weeks for Atlanta as he was away for the Copa Americas with Venezuela. However, his team failed to advance to the knockout rounds, and he is now back in the United States training for this weekend’s game.

Atlanta has failed to score in their last two games, so expect them to run their entire offense through Martinez now that he will likely be back on the pitch.

Atlanta will be on the road against the Chicago Fire this weekend. The Fire have allowed six goals in their last three games.

Martinez is currently owned by 8.31% of all MLS fantasy managers.
