Why we like him
Hartel is hot right now, averaging 0.40 goals and 0.40 assists per match across his last five appearances, and he gets a favorable home date with Real Salt Lake at CITYPARK where his volume can matter. Across 15 starts this season he has 5 goals and 4 assists for St. Louis, and he leads the team in chances created and expected assists, so his fantasy floor is driven by steady involvement and shot creation. Real Salt Lake concede roughly 1.5 goals per game, which makes Hartel a real ceiling play at home if he keeps getting the minutes and service he’s seen, and the Sorare Edge projection of 71.0 with medium confidence matches that profile. Start him as a strong, high-floor midfield option with genuine upside rather than a guaranteed match-winner.
