Adrien Hunou - Takes one shot in winHunou put one shot off target and created two chances in 65 minutes of Saturday's 2-1 win over Portland.

ImpactHunou hasn't scored in four straight games while Robin Lod has banged home winners in the last two matches. While Hunou may keep his place for tactical purposes given how well the Loons are playing, it's important that he gets back on track soon in order to boost his value and help out his team. Up next is a trip to LAFC, which have conceded 17 goals in 15 matches.

Jan Gregus - Comes off bench in winGregus put one shot off target in three minutes off the bench during Saturday's 2-1 win over Portland.

ImpactGregus has started in one of his last three appearances and otherwise barely played since returning from the Euros. While over the past two seasons Gregus was one of his team's most important creative players, the dominance of Emmanuel Reynoso means that more defensive midfielders have been preferred, and this comes at the detriment to the value of and minutes for Gregus.

Claudio Bravo - Keeps clean sheet in winBravo made two clearances and three interceptions in Sunday's 1-0 Olympics victory against Egypt.

ImpactBravo defended well in his first appearance of the tournament on Sunday, and he helped kept Egypt scoreless. He is likely to start again in Wednesday's clash versus group leaders Spain.

Tyler Miller - Concedes one in winMiller conceded one goal and made two saves during Saturday's 2-1 win over Portland.

ImpactMiller has conceded just one goal over his last two starts and things are only looking up if captain Michael Boxall (groin) is able to return soon. He'll need to stay sharp in the next match at LAFC, which are tied for forth in the league in total shots on goal.

Romain Metanire - Creates three chances in returnMetanire created three chances from three crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 2-1 win over Portland.

ImpactMetanire returned to the lineup after getting his green card and gave another solid attacking effort for a fullback. Once he's back in his groove, Metanire should be one of the better options available at his position thanks to 17 chances created and 54 crosses from 11 starts heading into a tougher matchup against LAFC.

Robin Lod - Scores again in winLod scored one goal from eight shots (three on goal) during Saturday's 2-1 win over Portland.

ImpactLod has scored the game-winning goals in two straight games, and he's now up to four scored in nine starts on the season. Given how he effectively plays as the second striker alongside Adrien Hunou even from a position on the wing, Lod's value is certainly a highlight of this Loons team. Up next is a trip to LAFC, which have conceded 17 goals in 15 matches.

Emanuel Reynoso - Excellent in winReynoso provided one assist from eight chances created on 15 crosses (five accurate) and put six shots off target during Saturday's 2-1 win over Portland.

ImpactReynoso somehow just recorded his first assist of the season when he set up Robin Lod for the go-ahead goal even though he ranks third in MLS in chances created and eighth in total crosses. As a result, Reynoso is a good case of how to be valuable without needing to ever score, though if he can make this a habit his value will be even more exceptional. Up next is a trip to LAFC, which have conceded 17 goals in 15 matches.
