# 2 Luciano Acosta – $9.4M – Average Points: 6.00

Whenever FC Cincinnati scores a goal, Luciano Acosta was likely involved in the play.  Acosta has scored or assisted on 47% of Cincinnati’s goals this season.

The Argentinian midfielder has recorded an assist in three of his last four games and has the fourth most shot-creating actions in the league with 101 via FBref.com.

FC Cincinnati will host Inter Miami on Saturday night. The first time these two teams played this season it was a goal-fest. Miami came away with a 3-2 away victory. In that game, Acosta produced one assist and finished with seven fantasy points.

Acosta is currently owned by 6.32% of all MLS fantasy managers.
