Takes two shots in draw Asprilla took two shots and created a chance in Saturday's 1-1 draw against FC Dallas. He also made a clearance and won five of five tackles in the match.

Impact Asprill was solid on both sides of the ball Saturday in his return from a yellow card suspension, as his side ground out a draw with Dallas thanks to two stoppage-time goals. He's started in just five of 16 MLS matches since the start of May for the Timbers.

Picks up yellow card suspension Asprilla will be suspended for Wednesday's match against Nashville due to yellow card accumulation after picking up a booking Saturday against Minnesota.

Impact Asprilla picked up the final yellow card while only playing as a substitute as he earned bookings in his last three appearances. This should keep Yimmi Chara as the starter on the left flank for this midweek contest and Asprilla should be back Saturday against FC Dallas.

Plays off bench versus Minnesota Asprilla played 14 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 4-4 draw to Minnesota United.

Impact Asprilla is back to the bench despite scoring in each of his previous three matches. He's merely started four times in last 13 affairs since April and with that rate of playing time will be hard to trust in fantasy despite his scoring run.

Nets yet again Asprilla scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 win over San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Asprilla scored his third goal in his last three appearances during Saturday's win, as well as creating a chance. The wide midfielder has been on a hot streak throughout July and is showing no signs of slowing down despite finding himself on the bench recently. With this sort of goal-scoring form it's hard to see Asprilla remaining on the bench for a Saturday trip to Minnesota.

JULY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes unused versus Whitecaps Asprilla was an unused sub in Sunday's 1-1 draw to Vancouver Whitecaps.

Impact Asprilla has now only started three times since April and seems to be out of favor at the moment. He scored in each of his past two appearances totaling four shots in the process but the fact that he's not even used at all very often makes him unappealing option for fantasy purposes.

Scores in win Asprilla scored one goal on one shot (one on target) during Saturday's 3-0 win over Seattle.

Impact Asprilla scored a goal in the 85th minute to close out the match and erase any hope for the Seattle squad. Asprilla has scored two goals in his last two games giving him more hope of being involved in the starting XI for Portland. After scoring off the bench in just 16 minutes, Asprilla is likely to get more respect and minutes on the field for the remainder of his 2022 campaign.

Scores penalty in draw Asprilla scored one penalty goal on three shots (one on target) during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Nashville SC.

Impact Asprilla has started just twice in the last five matches but was able to successfully score from the spot and give his team a way back into the game. It's still worth being careful with Asprilla given his inconsistencies, so see how things play out in a rivalry match against Seattle on Saturday.

Plays off bench versus Houston Asprilla played 29 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Houston Dynamo.

Impact Asprilla began the season with eight starts in the first 10 matches but he's now started just once in seven affairs and his fantasy upside is limited for the time being until he can return to the starting XI.

In healthy and safety protocols Asprilla has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols and won't be available versus Red Bulls on Saturday.

Impact Asprilla started three of his previous four contests in which he recorded one goal on four shots (one on target), five crosses (one accurate) and three chances created. Without Asprilla in the squad, Marvin Loria could move into a more attacking position on the pitch.
