Schwake's clean sheet headlines scoreless Nashville-Union draw
Brian Schwake’s 15th shutout and Andre Blake’s clean sheet floor were the fantasy winners in a 0-0 match that muted Nashville attackers and missing Union pieces.
For fantasy squads, this was a goalkeeper night: Brian Schwake (GK, Nashville SC) logged his 15th clean sheet while Andre Blake (GK, Philadelphia Union) also banked the shutout, and Nashville’s attack produced no shot on goal until the 88th minute. Philadelphia were without Milan Iloski, Cavan Sullivan and Bruno Damiani, which further lowered attacking upside. In Kickbase, clean sheets build in 10-minute blocks, so this kind of game heavily rewards both keepers and punishes forwards like Sam Surridge (FWD, Nashville SC). Verdict: hold the keepers, downgrade the attackers.
Fantasy Analysis
The main fantasy takeaway is defensive stability: both goalkeepers captured clean-sheet value, and that matters in Kickbase because every 10 minutes adds to the total. Nashville’s home attack was mostly absent, so their forwards lose floor and upside until the chance creation improves. Philadelphia’s missing attackers also make this more of a keepers-and-defenders game than a place to chase goals.
