Yuta Fujihara - Moves to Austin Djeffal was selected by Austin FC with the first pick of the 2022 MLS Re-Entry Draft on Thursday, after D.C. United traded the pick in exchange for received $50,000 in 2023 General...

Impact Djeffal made 28 MLS appearances (19 starts) during his rookie season out of Oregon State University, but the 23-year-old's contract option for 2023 was declined by D.C. He is now moving to Austin, where he could provide depth in midfield behind Alexander Ring and Daniel Pereira.

Washington Corozo - Returning from loan Corozo (abdomen) is returning to Peruvian side Sporting Cristal when his loan stint with Austin ends in January.

Impact Corozo made three appearances off the bench following his summer arrival in MLS, but he suffered an injury in August that ruled him out for the rest of the campaign and he's now set to return to Peru.

Moussa Djitte - Starts in playoff loss Djitte made a clearance and won one of one tackles in the 3-0 defeat against LAFC in the Western Conference Final.

Impact Djitte's 2022 got off to a very rocky start and it really seemed like he was on the outs when he was sent off for a huge lapse of judgement against Nashville in early September. But he scored a hat trick off the bench in his first game back from the ensuing suspension and then started in four of Austin's last six games of the season including playoffs. The 23-year-old will hope to continue this resurgence in 2023 as he will battle Maximiliano Urruti for the starting striker spot.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Owen Wolff - Used sparingly for end of season Wolff subbed in for the final minutes of the Western Conference Final against LAFC, and he took a shot in the 3-0 defeat.

Impact Wolff had a bit of a breakout campaign with Austin as he started nine of 11 MLS matches and recorded his first senior team assist during a stretch from May to July, but he only started in two additional games outside of that run. The 17-year-old will just hope to continue developing and earning opportunities to play next campaign as he can play both on the right wing or in midfield.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ethan Finlay - Comes off bench in playoff loss Finlay created a chance and won one of one tackles after subbing in for the final half hour or so of the 3-0 defeat against LAFC in the Western Conference Final.

Impact Finlay tallied five goals and five assists in 37 MLS appearances (23 starts) during his first season in Austin, a solid if unspectacular return in what was a surprisingly good team in 2022. His starting spot on the right wing will be under threat heading into the next campaign as Emiliano Rigoni continues integrating with the club.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Emiliano Rigoni - Has quiet game in playoff loss Rigoni won one of three tackles in the 3-0 defeat against LAFC in the Western Conference Final.

Impact Rigoni made 10 MLS appearances (four starts) for Austin after arriving from Sao Paulo in the summer, and the 29-year-old will want to challenge Ethan Finlay for the starting spot on the right wing after benefitting from having a full preseason with the club ahead of the 2023 campaign.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Diego Fagundez - Creates three chances vs. LAFC Fagundez made a clearance, an interception and created three chances in the 3-0 defeat against LAFC in the Western Conference Final.

Impact Fagundez's and Austin's 2022 came to an end in the Conference Final, but the 27-year-old and his club both had astounding campaigns overall. He finished second in MLS with 12 regular season assists (only behind Luciano Acosta) to go along with the six goals he scored, and he should remain one of the first names in Austin's lineup on the left wing heading into 2023.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jhojan Manuel Valencia Jimenez - Backup option this season Valencia was an unused substitute in the defeat against LAFC in the Western Conference Final.

Impact Valencia made 14 MLS appearances (five starts) this season after joining Austin from Deportivo Cali in January, as a knee surgery in the summer kept him out of the squad from June to August. The 26-year-old will enter 2023 as the backup option to Alexander Ring and Daniel Pereira in defensive midfield.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Pereira - Creates chance in playoff loss Pereira made a block, two interceptions and created a chance in the 3-0 defeat against LAFC in the Western Conference Final.

Impact Pereira was much improved in his sophomore season in MLS, scoring two goals and keeping four clean sheets across 33 appearances (28 starts) as Austin made a very impressive run to the Western Conference Final. The 22-year-old could get even better in 2023 alongside Alexander Ring in defensive midfield.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alexander Ring - Takes two shots in playoff loss Ring took two shots and won four of seven tackles in the 3-0 defeat against LAFC in the Western Conference Final. He also made three clearances and an interception in the match.

Impact Ring was one of Austin's most important players during the club's stellar run in its sophomore season in MLS, as he tallied five goals, three assists and five clean sheets from 37 appearances (35 starts) in defensive midfield. The 31-year-old also set personal MLS records in shots (48), shots on target (18) and chances created (32).

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nicholas Lima - Creates chance against LAFC Lima made two interceptions and created a chance in the 3-0 defeat against LAFC in the Western Conference Final. He also won two of three tackles in the match.

Impact Lima kept five clean sheets and recorded four assists (a new personal MLS record) this season across 37 appearances (28 starts) at right-back.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Zan Kolmanic - Mostly backup option this season Kolmanic was not involved in the 3-0 defeat against LAFC in the Western Conference Final.

Impact Kolmanic lost the starting spot at left-back to Jon Gallagher around April, and he finished the campaign with two assists and one clean sheet across 22 MLS appearances (12 starts) overall. The 22-year-old will want to try and win his spot back in the XI in 2023.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kipp Keller - Used sparingly by Austin Keller was not involved in the defeat against LAFC in the Western Conference Final.

Impact Keller made six MLS appearances (three starts) for Austin in his rookie season out of St. Louis University. The 22-year-old is a ways down the center-back depth chart heading into 2023.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jhohan Romana - Backup option this season Romana was an unused substitute in the defeat against LAFC in the Western Conference Final.

Impact Romana missed the first half of the campaign due to injury, and he made just 10 MLS appearances (three starts) after returning to fitness in late June. The 24-year-old is firmly the backup option behind Julio Cascante and Ruben Gabrielsen in central defense for Austin heading into 2023.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruben Gabrielsen - Makes three interceptions in loss Gabrielsen made a block, a clearance and three interceptions in the 3-0 defeat against LAFC in the Western Conference Final.

Impact Gabrielsen immediately broke into Austin's XI following his transfer from Toulouse in January, and the 30-year-old ends his rookie campaign in MLS with seven clean sheets, two goals and one assist across 36 appearances (34 starts) alongside Julio Cascante in central defense.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Julio Cascante - Takes three shots in playoff loss Cascante took three shots (one on target) and created a chance in the 3-0 defeat against LAFC in the Western Conference Final. He also made a block, a clearance and an interception...

Impact Cascante and Austin had an excellent 2022 campaign, and he tallied three goals, two assists and four clean sheets across 35 MLS appearances (34 starts). The 29-year-old only missed time due to a minor hamstring injury in late June and he should remain alongside Ruben Gabrielsen as the preferred center-back pairing in 2023.
