Crew clinch playoff spot as roster shake-up settles
Columbus have secured a playoff berth, with Brais Méndez, Santiago Rodríguez and Patrick Schulte shaping their late-season fantasy appeal.
Columbus’ playoff clinch helps stabilize the fantasy outlook, but their summer overhaul matters more: Diego Rossi is gone, while Brais Méndez and Santiago Rodríguez have become the new attacking hubs. In Kickbase terms, that boosts role certainty for 90-minute upside and chance creation, while Steven Moreira and Patrick Schulte retain floor value. Risk: Low.
Fantasy Analysis
Columbus’ guaranteed playoff place reduces late-season uncertainty, but the main fantasy angle is the new attacking hierarchy. With Rossi transferred out and Méndez/Rodríguez producing, their involvement looks more secure than fringe options. In Kickbase, that matters because creators who consistently reach 90 minutes can outscore pure finishers through chance creation and full-match accumulation.
