Collects third clean sheet in win Ochoa made one save and received one clean sheet in the 3-0 win against Colorado on Saturday.
Impact Ochoa was not tested much at all in the win Saturday. Colorado did have multiple attempts, but a majority of them were not on net to challenge the keeper. After conceding four goals and making 12 saves over the last two appearances, Ochoa was gifted the opportunity to reset. This performance does show an alarming trend though. Ochoa seems very hard to predict whether he will play poorly or great. While he is in form though, it makes sense to ride the hot hand.

Saves PK, eight saves in 2-1 loss Ochoa made eight saves, one from penalty, in Saturday's 2-1 loss to LAFC.
Impact Ochoa has been brilliant of late with 10 saves, one clean sheet and a penalty saved in just two matches as he's allowed merely two goals in that span. The keeper has already had a few other outbursts this campaign but with merely two shutouts all season and multiple goals allowed on four different occasions he's been a bit hit or miss in fantasy formats.

Concedes one in win Ochoa conceded one goal and made one save during Friday's 3-1 win over Vancouver.
Impact Ochoa made his return from national team duty and got plenty of help from his team to overcome an equalizing goal early in the second half. It hasn't been the most consistent season for Ochoa and that's a story that could easily remain, as national team obligations could interrupt his starts at club level, though he's only kept one clean sheet in six starts this season. Up next is a trip to Seattle, which feature one of the best attacking groups in the league.
