Jack Maher - Busy defensively Maher made four interceptions and five clearances during Wednesday's 0-0 draw with New England.

Impact Maher had plenty to do behind the ball Wednesday, and did most of it well. In the second half the plan clearly became "when in doubt, get it out" as Maher racked up the clearances. He has a far more favorable match Sunday, away to Miami.

Matt Lagrassa - Six tackles vs. Revs LaGrassa made six tackles and two interceptions during Wednesday's 0-0 draw with New England.

Impact LaGrassa was busy defensively as New England dominated the match. The midfielder did enough to escape with the clean sheet but it was far from comfortable. LaGrassa will hope to have a more balance performance Sunday, against Miami.

Taylor Washington - Four crosses in draw Washington sent in four crosses (two accurate) during Wednesday's scoreless draw with New England.

Impact Washington barely got a touch on the ball during Wednesday's draw, but made the most of his very limited opportunity. The defender's duty on set-pieces tremendously helped his value, even if he didn't do much with the chances. Next up is a Sunday trip to Miami.

Jhonder Cadiz - Five shots in draw Cadiz shot five times (twice on goal) during Wednesday's 0-0 draw with New England.

Impact Cadiz made only his sixth start on the season and was busy, though he only had eight touches in the match. The forward did put five shots out, but only two tested Matt Turner's goal. Cadiz will hope to keep making appearances, even if off the bench. Next up is a Sunday trip to Miami.

Anibal Godoy - Makes bench Wednesday Godoy (hamstring) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against New England.

Impact Godoy is back in the squad Wednesday, but after missing the last month with a hamstring injury, there's no guarantee he makes an appearance. He'll get back his fitness in the next few days and could be an option to start one of the next two matches.

Joe Willis - One save draw Willis made one save during Sunday's one-all draw with Toronto.

Impact Willis made a single save on the two shots he faced and left the match with a draw. This ends the run of excellent form for Willis, and he will be hard-pressed to return to that form Wednesday, away to New England.

C J Sapong - Held quiet in draw Sapong was held to three shots (one on goal) during Sunday's one-all draw with Toronto.

Impact Sapong was unable to get anything going Sunday, falling to a quiet all-around performance. The forward has been in excellent goal scoring form with three in his last four matches. Sapong will be hard-pressed to keep that form going Wednesday, away to New England.

Hany Mukhtar - Ten crosses vs. Toronto Mukhtar sent in 10 crosses (five accurate), creating five chances during Sunday's one-all draw with Toronto.

Impact Mukhtar was peppering the Toronto box, add to that his duty on corners and his floor was safe Sunday. The midfielder has been a consistent option all season, and that looks likely to continue. Mukhtar faces the toughest test of the season Wednesday, away to New England.

Dave Romney - Assists in draw Romney provided one assist on one chance created during Sunday's one-all draw with Toronto.

Impact Romney only created a single chance, but that proved to be enough for the draw. It was Romney's first assist of the season, which tends to be the ceiling for him offensively. The defender will be tested Wednesday, away to New England.

Robert Castellanos - First start, first goal Castellanos scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Sunday's one-all draw with Toronto.

Impact Castellanos made his first start, and first appearance for Nashville, and netted. The defender is unlikely to be even close to that sort of efficiency of course, but it's still a nice boon for fantasy managers. He will be tested to the max Wednesday, away to New England.

Anibal Godoy - Could be option Wednesday Godoy (hamstring) could be an option for Wednesday's match against the Revs after being a close call the prior game, according to Ben Wright of Broadway Sports.

Impact Godoy hasn't played since July 4 because of a hamstring injury and even if available, there's no guarantee he'll make an appearance Wednesday. Hamstring injuries are tricky to return from and he'll likely come off the bench before being given an immediate start.

Impact Lovitz has missed three matches while in health and safety protocols but is now on track to return in either Wednesday's trip to New England or Sunday's trip to Inter Miami. With 81 crosses and three assists, Lovitz is one of the more valuable fullbacks around.
