Goalkeepers
Philadelphia Union's Andre Blake has kept a clean sheet in two straight matches, and he’s in a good spot at home against Charlotte FC (7:30 pm ET | MLS LIVE on ESPN+ in US, DAZN in Canada). The expansion side has scored just one goal in two road games this season.

Defenders

Midfielders
Carles Gil has picked up right where he left off from his 2021 Landon Donovan MVP-winning campaign, hitting double-digit points in all three matches he’s started this season.
Gil does enough across the board to warrant paying for his hefty $12 million price tag (the most expensive player in the game) regardless of if he scores or assists vs. the New York Red Bulls (7:30 pm ET | MLS LIVE on ESPN+ in US, DAZN in Canada).

Forwards
Gonzalo Higuain opened his 2022 account last week, and he continues to play an integral role in Inter Miami CF's attack.
He’s taken on more of a playmaker role through the first four games of the season, and at home against Houston Dynamo FC (8 pm ET | MLS LIVE on ESPN+, DAZN in Canada) presents an excellent opportunity for the former Juventus and Real Madrid star to continue to make an impact on the attacking end.
