Thomas Hasal - Makes fours saves in 2-1 winHasal made four saves and conceded once during the 2-1 win against Austin FC on Saturday.

ImpactHasal had one of his stronger performances in the win Saturday. The keeper made a few high-danger saves and he stood his ground, but he unfortunately could not pull off the clean sheet thanks to his backline. Besides a few errors in the handful of starts, Hasal has been great for the Whitecaps and he will continue to hold significant value as long as he makes those many saves a match.

Gauld. Ryan - Takes six shots in 2-1 win SaturdayGauld produced six shots (three on target), created two chances, sent six crosses (three accurate), took five corners and made one tackle (none won) in the 2-1 win against Austin F...

ImpactGauld continues to be on fire since his first appearance with the Whitecaps this season. He has also immediately jumped into a large role on the set-pieces to only further boost his value. In his six appearances this season he has two goals and two assists. During that same timeframe, he is averaging, 3.0 shots, 1.5 created chances, 4.33 crosses, 3.5 corners and 0.83 tackles per 90 minutes in all competitions. There are zero reasons to fade Gauld until he drastically drops form.

Cristian Dajome - Leads the offense in 2-1 winDajome assisted once, took one shot (none on target), created four chances, sent five crosses (one accurate) and made one tackle (one won) during the 2-1 win over Austin FC on Satu...

ImpactDajome is on a massive run of form as of late. Over his last nine appearances, he has four goals and two assists. During that same span, he is averaging, 2.22 shots, 1.66 created chances, 5.22 crosses and 1.22 tackles per 90 minutes in all competitions. Not only is Dajome attacking the flanks and taking his own chances on net, but he is also creating a plethora of opportunities from the flank. He is certainly one of the better wingers in the league in terms of all-around production and he is also one of the better in-form wingers as well.

Brian White - Creates two chances in 2-1 winWhite took one shot (one on target), created two chances and made one tackle (one won) in the 2-1 over Austin FC on Saturday.

ImpactWhite was lackluster at best in the win Saturday. The forward did very little to contribute to the attack and he looked more out of sorts than anything. This does come as a surprise too after he just got done scoring three goals in three matches with 10 total shots in that span. Hopefully, for fantasy owners, this was more of an outlier than anything and he will return to form against the rollercoaster Timbers next Friday.

Deiber Caicedo - Scores fourth goal of seasonCaicedo scored once, took four shots (four on target), sent two crosses (none accurate) and received one yellow card in the 2-1 win over Austin FC on Saturday.

ImpactCaicedo shined in his second consecutive match off the bench Saturday. The forward has been a welcomed addition to Vancouver's depth this season and he has proved his worth so far with four goals and three assists through 22 appearances (19 starts). Over his last five appearances, he is averaging, 2.2 shots, 1.2 created chances, 5.4 crosses, 2.6 corners and 0.6 tackles per 90 minutes in all competitions. Those are solid numbers when you include two of the appearances were off the bench for a total of 60 minutes. As long as he starts, he is worthy of consideration.

Erik Godoy - Bags second career goal in 2-1 winGodoy scored once, took two shots (one on target) and intercepted once in the 2-1 win over Austin FC on Saturday.

ImpactGodoy could not have had a better return in the win Saturday. The center-back has been struggling with some injury woes lately and he had one of his best performances coming off a four-game rest. Godoy always generates defensive stats in bunches and he joins the attack occasionally, but that is more of a plus if anything. If you need a strong back, he is a great option.

Bradley Stuver - Stands on head in hard lossStuver made six saves and conceded twice during the 2-1 loss to Vancouver on Saturday.

ImpactStuver was tremendous in the loss Saturday, but it did not hold. The keeper made save after save and a few of them were high-danger saves at that. Stuver also had a back-to-back save sequence that was crucial to the 2-1 scoreline. He has had some downright terrible performance as of late, but he at least rebounds with some of his best after the fact. In his last five appearances he is averaging, 5.2 saves and 2.2 goals against per 90 minutes in all competitions.
