Pereyra leads Loons past LAFC as playoff race reaches Decision Day
Minnesota United beat LAFC 3-1 to keep playoff hopes alive, with Joaquin Pereyra scoring twice ahead of Decision Day.
For fantasy managers, Joaquin Pereyra’s return to the XI matters: his first start since Sept. 19 produced a brace, and Minnesota now hosts San Jose on Decision Day. With attacking output tied to his role and minutes, a 90-minute starter has far more value than a late cameo. Risk: Low. Hold or buy for the final match.
Fantasy Analysis
Pereyra’s upside is tied to starting and staying on the pitch, because Kickbase rewards every 10 minutes and punishes early subs hard. Minnesota’s attack looked sharper with him back in the XI, so if he starts again against San Jose, he becomes a strong one-week upside play. The same applies to other Loons attackers only if their role and minutes are secure.
