International duty has done little to quell the action surrounding Major League Soccer, with a six-match slate getting ready to flood DraftKings lobbies with contests for Saturday.

Some of the household names are absent from squads, but that can just open the door for another player to shine. Usual stat-dominating clubs like Toronto FC, the Los Angeles Galaxy and the Vancouver Whitecaps are missing from the schedule, but options are boundless for DraftKings glory. Take a look below at the best picks of the matchday.  

 

F: Fanendo Adi, Portland Timbers ($8,500) and Anatole Abang, New York Red Bulls ($6,100) 

Call it a coincidence or a recipe for fantasy explosion, but Fanendo Adi is recently removed from a two-goal, 29-point outburst and gets ready to visit the league's worst defense. The Philadelphia Union have conceded a league-worst 32 goals, and they look bound to take on a few more with Adi set to shine again. 

New York Red Bulls striker Bradley Wright-Phillips isn't a heady buy as the most expensive option of the day, but Anatole Abang could produce some fantasy production from the Red Bulls attack. With a starting nod on July 4, Abang put up 16 DK points with his third goal of the season. Saturday's opponent, New England, have been outscored by six goals in their last four matches.

 

M: Kaka, Orlando City ($10,600) and Ignacio Piatti, Montreal Impact ($7,800)

It takes a lot of confidence to throw five figures at a DraftKings option, but Kaka has proven—and will prove—worth the investment. The Orlando City star has two goals on seven shots (five on target) just in his last 135 minutes on the pitch, and his 11.7 DK points average top midfielders. Saturday's opponent, FC Dallas, are red hot at the moment, but that will only bring out his best as he racks up double digits for the sixth time in eight outings.

If you took Ignacio Piatti last week like I recommended, he just might have won your contest singlehandedly with his 23 points—a second-consecutive 20-point outburst. He's averaging over 12 points per contest in his last 10 matches and should continue shredding opposing midfields at home to Columbus. 

 

D: Ambroise Oyongo, Montreal ($4,000) and Sheanon Williams, Philadelphia ($3,500)

Ambroise Oyongo has a chance to be an attacking presence Saturday for a Montreal club thin on such help, and he's proven serviceable in that area lately with his first goal of the season June 24 against Toronto. Averaging more than one shot per contest and getting crosses into the area, Oyongo could blow his value out of the water.

Philadelphia's Sheanon Williams will be an even cheaper option who has perhaps an even better chance to break out, judging from his 18-point outing in his last start against Seattle. He'll produce the crosses necessary to be well worth his value.

 

GK: Jeff Attinella, Real Salt Lake ($4,700)

Nick Rimando is backing up the U.S. men's national team goalkeeper spot in the Gold Cup, which has opened the door for Jeff Attinella to get his hands dirty. He made three saves and only allowed one goal last weekend to Orlando City, giving him an average of 10 DK points per appearance.

Attinella will face a Colorado Rapids team that just broke a 12-match span in which they scored just one goal or less. He's almost assured to get bonus points for only allowing one goal or keeping the clean sheet.
