We may remember this MLS season as the year of the teenagers, and Ricardo Pepi will be a big reason for that. The 18-year-old has eight goals this season, and just last month he became the youngest player to score a hat trick.

Dallas will be on the road against the Seattle Sounders and then travel home for the newly born rivalry match against Austin FC to finish their double game week.

Both matches favor the young striker to score a goal. The Sounders have allowed four goals in their last two home games, while Austin FC has given up a goal in their last four games and is currently on a three-game losing streak.

Pepi is currently only owned by 4.10% of all MLS fantasy managers.
