# 3 Alan Pulido – $9.3M – Average Points: 5.76

Alan Pulido has failed to score a goal in his last three matches, but with his teammate Daniel Salloi away on international duty with Hungary, he will likely put an end to that drought, given that he will see a lot more of the ball in the attack.

Sporting KC will be on the road against LAFC. Pulido has scored in both of the previous two matchups against LAFC.

Moreover, Los Angeles has struggled defensively all season long. For a team with Carlos Vela at their point man, they have a -3 goal differential.

Pulido is currently owned by 6.55% of all MLS fantasy managers.
