Martin Rodriguez - Busy in loss to LAFCRodriguez had five crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to LAFC.
ImpactRodriguez was one of United's most effective players while on the pitch, and he was replaced in the 72nd minute by Miguel Berry with LAFC leading 1-0. For the contest, he led his side in both crosses sent in as well as corners delivered. Since joining D.C. in late July, the attacking midfielder has recorded 28 crosses and eight corners over six games. Notably, he has now been integrated into the starting XI for three straight games.

Rafael Romo - Benched in lossRomo was an unused substitute in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat against LAFC.
ImpactRomo kept a clean sheet and conceded 27 goals in 12 MLS games this season since taking over D.C.'s starting goalkeeper job from the injured Bill Hamid (hand) in June, but the arrival of David Ochoa from RSL seems set to push Romo back to the bench as Ochoa made his club debut on Tuesday.

Kellyn Acosta - Eight crosses vs DCAcosta had four shots (one on target), eight crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Tuesday's 1-0 win versus D.C. United.
ImpactAcosta shouldered his usual 90 minute workload while leading his LAFC side in both crosses and corners for the contest. His four shots were also a season high for the midfielder. Carlos Vela was the only other LAFC player to attempt a corner in this one. On the year, Acosta has now tallied 92 crosses to go with 66 corners and continues to be highly involved at both ends of the pitch.

LAFC defeats D.C. United as Kwadwo Opoku's lone goal makes the difference | MLS Highlights | ESPN FC

Brian Rodriguez - Plays 63 minutes in DCRodriguez had three shots (zero on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 1-0 win over D.C. United.
ImpactAs his stat line demonstrates, Rodriguez was rather involved while he was on the pitch, but his evening ended in the 63rd minute when he was replaced by Kwadwo Opoku. Opoku ended up going on to score the game-winning goal just five minutes later. LAFC has a talented and crowded group of forwards to choose from, so Rodriguez may have steady competition for playing time down the stretch.

Carlos Vela - Held scoreless in DCVela took one shot (zero on target), delivered three crosses (one accurate) and sent in two corners in Tuesday's 1-0 victory vs D.C. United.
ImpactVela may not have found the score sheet Tuesday, but he was still extremely active in possession for LAFC. For the 2022 campaign, Vela has now tallied eight goals and nine assists, and he leads all teammates in helpers. The 2019 MLS Golden Boot winner is an elite fantasy asset and should be active in all weekly formats.
