Impact Pato set up Ercan Kara's winning goal on Saturday, and he could have ended up on the score sheet himself if not for some wayward shooting.

Mason Stajduhar - Two saves for draw Stajduhar made two saves and clearances during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Portland.

Impact Stajduhar didn't have a flashy day Sunday, though he did make a few saves and did well to earn a draw in his first start of the season. The keeper isn't much of a fantasy play by any means and isn't worth considering in any formats. Pedro Gallese is the started when not on national team duty.

MARCH 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mauricio Pereyra - Busy in draw Pereyra sent in three inaccurate crosses and drew three fouls during Sunday's one-all draw with Portland.

Impact Pereyra had an eventful day Sunday, though he did find some decent fantasy value. It's been a quiet start to the 2022 season for the attacking midfielder. His minutes have also started to decrease, playing less than 80 in each of the last two matches. Pereyra carries some risk while Orlando struggle for identity in 2022.

Alexandre Pato - Assists in draw Pato provided one assist on one chance created during Sunday's one-all draw with Portland.

Impact Pato earned his first assist of the campaign and actually his first assist for Orlando, during the draw. The forward has struggled for playing time with his newest club, but has found some decent form to start the season. Pato will be a boom-bust fantasy option in all formats moving forward.

MARCH 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Junior Urso - Nets rare goal Urso scored once on three shots (two on goal) during Sunday's one-all draw with Portland.

Impact Urso has scored twice in the first five matches putting him halfway to his tally from the entirety of the 2021 campaign. The midfielder is often a quiet fantasy play, though he is off to a red-hot start in 2022. It's hard to trust Urso, but maybe this is a late career offensive renaissance from the defensive midfielder.
