# 5 Diego Valeri – $6.7M – Average Points: 3.73

The first player to crack the sleeper list this week is Diego Valeri of the Portland Timbers. The Argentinian midfielder has great value with his current price tag of 6.7 million.

Valeri has been inconsistent this season. However, he has scored or assisted in three of Portland’s last six games. Moreover, Sebastian Blanco is slowly working up his fitness level. Whenever he is on the pitch, we see an improvement from everyone in the team, especially Valeri.

The Timbers will have both of their games this week at home. They will host the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday night and then Real Salt Lake on Sunday.

The Earthquakes have a -7 goal difference, while Real Salt Lake has allowed seven goals in their six away games this season.

Valeri is currently owned by 9.64% of all MLS fantasy managers.
