SS vs RLSC Dream11 Goal-Keeper
All across their life in the league, Seattle Sounders ended up suffering due to their defence, leaking in a gargantuan 49 goals with their backline bereft of ideas on how to curtail and stall oppositions. The same was reminiscent in their previous fixture as well with the side shipping in the four goals, a malaise of a problem for the side which Real Salt Lake will look to capitalise on.
This sees us opt for the shot stopper from the hosts with us brining in Stefan Frei for this clash with the onslaught and barrage of shots he encounters set to see him come out with a slew of save points.
