PRO explains why NYCFC goal against Toronto FC should have stood | MLSSoccer.comNew York City FC coach Ronny Deila argued an unconventional goal by Jesus Medina against Toronto FC should have been awarded in what turned out to be a 1-1 draw at Yankee Stadium l...
Alex Bono - Makes four saves in 1-0 lossBono made four saves and conceded once during the 1-0 loss to Orlando on Saturday.
ImpactBono continued his great form in the loss Saturday. The keeper has now made 12 saves and conceded twice while recording a clean sheet in his past three appearances. After a bumpy start to the season, Bono seems to have found his form and confidence. Now he just needs his club to play better in front of him and he will have even better upside with the potential of a win bonus. However, until that happens his saves per match alone are providing enough value.

Yeferson Soteldo - Sends 14 crosses in 1-0 lossSoteldo produced three shots (one on target), created three chances, sent 14 crosses (five accurate), took eight corners, made one tackle (none won) and received one yellow card in...
ImpactSoteldo abused the left-flank time and time again in the tough loss Saturday. The winger sent a season high 14 crosses and he continued his role on set-pieces. This was surely Soteldo's best performance so far this season and he seems to be finding form rather quickly. He has outperformed each appearance since week one and if he remains on set-pieces, it will only further boost his value.

Auro - Receives first card of seasonAuro took two shots (one on target), created two chances, made two tackles (two won) and received one yellow card during the 1-0 loss to Orlando on Saturday.
ImpactAuro was in good form in the loss. The defender had one of his better performances thus far, helping out on both sides of the ball. Auro loves to generate stats in bunches as well. However, his upside is capped with the lack of desire to join the attack. Nevertheless, he is a gem for fantasy owners that look for versatility from their midfielders.

Pedro Gallese - Collects fourth clean sheet in winGallese made five saves and received one clean sheet during the 1-0 win against Toronto on Saturday.
ImpactGallese has been a force so far in the short season and he is easily one of the best keepers in the MLS. He now has four clean sheets in six total appearances on the season. In that timeframe he has made 16 saves and conceded just twice. However, Gallese does still have to work for his clean sheets. He made a few high-danger saves in the win and he is surely making his case for the best keeper in the league.

Tesho Akindele - Misses chances for hattrickAkindele scored once, took three shots (two on target), created one chance and received one yellow card during the 1-0 win over Toronto on Saturday.
ImpactAkindele extended his point streak to two matches with a goal in the win Saturday. However, the forward should have had a brace if not a hattrick. Unfortunately for him, he did not have the finishing touch Saturday and he dropped his chances because of it. Nevertheless, he now has two goals and one assist in his past four appearances. In that time he has taken nine shots and created five chances. If Akindele can start taking more shots per game, he will eventually have a floor. However, until that happens he is more boom-or-bust than anything.

Mauricio Pereyra - Sends seven crosses in 1-0 winPereyra created two chances, sent seven crosses (two accurate), took four corners and made one tackle (one won) in the 1-0 win against Toronto on Saturday.
ImpactPereyra was in great form during the win Saturday. The midfielder did not register a shot for the first time this season, but he continued to create chances for his teammates. Pereyra is averaging just over two chances created per 90 minutes this season. He does not always takes chances himself, but fantasy owners can always rely on him to create value from his vision and role on set-pieces.
