Carlos Vela - Won't play in ASG Vela (quad) has been ruled out for Wednesday's All-Star Game against Liga MX. As a result, he'll miss out on Saturday's derby against the LA Galaxy.

Impact Vela is forced to miss the rivalry match per league rules, though a quad injury could keep him out this weekend in any case. Christian Arango was busy as Vela's replacement Saturday against Vancouver and could slot in at striker until Vela returns.

Tomas Romero - Sees little action in 2-1 loss Romero made one save and conceded twice in the 2-1 loss to Vancouver on Saturday.

Impact Romero was effective in the loss Saturday, but he did not see many chances on net. The two goals that were conceded were more so thanks to his backline than his own positioning and skill. However, his track record continues to get worse after every match. In the last five matches, the keeper is averaging, 2.4 saves and 2.2 goals against per 90 minutes in all competitions. Those numbers are just about average if not on the bottom half of the league. Until he can start finding better form along with his defense, it is safer to look elsewhere.

Eduard Atuesta - Creates five chances in 2-1 loss Atuesta produced two shots (none on target), created five chances, sent four crosses (three accurate), took three corners and made three tackles (three won) during the 2-1 loss to...

Impact Atuesta continues to be one of the best all-around weapons for Los Angeles FC. The midfielder not only creates multiple chances a game, but he is also aggressive off the ball to help kickstart counter-attacks. Luckily for fantasy owners, he already has a mild floor with his involvement on set-pieces too. Atuesta may not score or assist many goals, but he will continue to generate value in every other aspect on the pitch. Over his past five appearances he is averaging, 1.6 shots, 2.2 created chances, 2.6 crosses, 1.8 corners and 2.0 tackles per 90 minutes in all competitions.

Diego Rossi - Converts from the spot in loss Rossi scored once, took seven shots (three on target), created one chance and made one tackle (one won) during the 2-1 loss to Vancouver on Saturday.

Impact Rossi had multiple chances in the loss and butchered all of them, outside of his penalty take. The forward continued to find himself in the perfect spot in the box, but he could not generate any type of success for himself or his teammates. All season Rossi has been a boom-or-bust candidate and luckily for him he at least generates a high volume in shots per match to maintain some sort of value.

Carlos Vela - Leaves early on in loss Vela created one chance, sent two crosses (two accurate) and took one corner before he was replaced by Cristian Arango in the 16th minute during the 2-1 loss to Vancouver on Saturd...

Impact Vela was playing great before he needed to come off early on Saturday. The forward was slow to get off the pitch and it looks like his quad flared up quickly. It does not seem like anything major, but if he were to miss time, Arango should see the bulk of it. Vela had started 14 of 15 matches since fully recovering from a hamstring injury earlier in the season.
