Union clinch playoffs as unbeaten run rolls on
Philadelphia have secured a playoff berth and enter the final two regular-season matches in strong form under Ryan Richter.
For fantasy squads, Philadelphia’s playoff lock signals stability rather than a fixture shock: they’ve clinched the Audi 2026 MLS Cup Playoffs with two regular-season games left and are unbeaten in 15 under Ryan Richter. With Sullivan, Iloski, Damiani and Blake all driving production, the value is in reliable starters and 90-minute upside. Risk: Low. Hold core Union assets.
Fantasy Analysis
Philadelphia’s secure position reduces external pressure, but it does not guarantee rest; monitor the final two lineups for rotation. In Kickbase, full 90-minute starters matter most because points build in 10-minute blocks, so the safest holds are the most nailed attackers and Blake in goal. If any core piece is benched, react quickly because one reduced outing can erase a strong floor.
