Aljaz Ivacic - Three saves Sunday Ivacic made three saves and one clearance during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Orlando.

Impact Ivacic has one clean sheet from the first five league games in what has been a busy season for the keeper. While the plethora of shots faced does give him a solid fantasy floor, it gives him some hefty volatility. Ivacic will hope for a quieter match against LA Galaxy next time out.

Zac McGraw - Ten clearances for draw McGraw made 10 clearances and three interceptions during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Orlando.

Impact McGraw made 10 clearances in an all-around busy performance during Sunday's draw. The defender doesn't have much of a fantasy ceiling and his floor is limited by the opponents willingness to attack. McGraw remains a fringe fantasy option in all formats.

Claudio Bravo - Busy for draw Bravo made six tackles and five interceptions during Sunday's one-all draw with Orlando.

Impact Bravo was busy throughout Sunday's match, keeping the defensive solid across the board. The defender is a solid fantasy play with a stout floor at left-back. Bravo is worth targeting against LA Galaxy next time out, where he should have plenty of defensive work to drive up his counting stats.

Diego Chara - Quiet for draw Chara sent in created two chances and committed three fouls during Sunday's one-all draw with Orlando.

Impact Chara had a quiet game as he continues his role in defensive midfield. The defender did create two chances, his first two of the season. He will be a solid fantasy play, but not one with any sort of exceptional ceiling against LA Galaxy next time out.

MARCH 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Cristhian Paredes - Scores in draw Paredes scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Sunday's one-all draw with Orlando.

Impact Paredes scored his first goal of the season from defensive midfield during Sunday's draw. The midfielder was efficient throughout the match and was a driving creative force. He will hope to keep this form going Sunday, against LA Galaxy.

Impact Van Rankin has started every MLS game for Portland this season, but he will be suspended for next weekend's clash against the Galaxy. Pablo Bonilla is an option to replace him at right back for the game.

Eryk Williamson - On bench against Orlando Williamson (knee) is in Portland's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Orlando City.

Impact Williamson is back with Portland's squad for the first time in about seven months since he tore his ACL in late August 2021. He will likely be eased back into the team gradually, but he will be looking for some minutes off the bench Sunday.

Cristhian Paredes - Starting against Orlando Paredes (hamstring) is in Portland's starting lineup for Sunday's clash against Orlando City.

Impact Paredes missed last weekend's defeat against FC Dallas with a hamstring injury, but he has recovered and is back on the pitch from the start on Sunday.

Peru exec: MLS paid Polo fully after termination by Timbers

Cristhian Paredes - Misses match with hamstring injury Paredes missed Sunday's loss against Dallas with a hamstring injury suffered the prior week and is in doubt for the May 27 contest against Orlando.

Impact Paredes suffered the injury May 13 and unsurprisingly, Portland hasn't released much information on it. If it's only a tweak, he could be back for Sunday's game against Orlando and if it's a month-long injury, he'll miss a couple more matches. Youngster David Ayala started in his place in the midfield in the loss to Dallas.

Eryk Williamson - Could be available against Orlando Williamson (knee) played with Portland's MLS Next Pro team over the weekend, according to SB Nation's Sam Svilar.

Impact Williamson hasn't featured for the Timbers since tearing his ACL back in August, but he was back on a pitch for Timbers II last weekend and might be ready to return to the senior team against Orlando City on Sunday.

Claudio Bravo - Plays well at both ends Bravo had two shots (neither on goal), four crosses, one corner, seven tackles, five interception and one block in the 4-1 loss to FC Dallas on Saturday.

Impact While it may not seem like it, Bravo made a huge contribution to the defensive end against FC Dallas. The defender is normally good for a tackle or two, but his interceptions were above average in the appearance. Hopefully, his efforts will see better results in the next match against Orlando City SC.

MARCH 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Yimmi Chara - Fires in seven crosses Chara had one shot (off target), seven crosses, one interception, one foul and created five chances in the 4-1 loss to FC Dallas.

Impact Doing everything that he could to try and find a goal, Chara was above average in his crosses and chances created. Frequently he manages to log consistent numbers in both categories, and it is likely he will do it again in the next match against Orlando City SC.

MARCH 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Blanco - Assists teammate in loss Blanco had one assist, two shots (one on goal), six crosses, one corner, one foul, created two chances and sustained one foul in the 4-1 loss to FC Dallas on Saturday.

Impact In a desperate attempt to try and come back, Blanco managed to find Jaroslaw Niezgoda in the 61st minute for his side's only goal. The midfielder is not typically an offensive threat, and these numbers are not typical for him. It's unlikely he will be able to do the same in the next match against Orlando City SC.

MARCH 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jaroslaw Niezgoda - Scores once against Dallas Niezgoda had one goal on one shot, one corner, two interceptions, one foul, created one chance and sustained one foul in the 4-1 loss to FC Dallas on Saturday.

Impact After going down by three goals in the first half, Niezgoda managed to answer back in the 61st minute with a goal of his own. This was the forward's first goal of the season, and his overall performance has been lackluster. He is going to have to get his act together if he wants to make a big contribution against Orlando City SC.

MARCH 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Aljaz Ivacic - Gives up four goals Ivacic had four saves and conceded four goals in the 4-1 loss to FC Dallas.

Impact Things fell apart for Ivacic in the 26th minute when Jesus Ferriera scored three goals in ten minutes. Though the keeper when on to make 4 saves, it was too little too late. This match was an exception for the keeper, who normally locks down the goal pretty tightly. Hopefully he can get back on track in the next match against Orlando City SC.

MARCH 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Bill Tuiloma - Called up to national team Tuiloma has been called up by the New Zealand National Team for potential upcoming World Cup qualifiers on March 24, 27 and 30.

Impact Tuiloma will likely miss next weekend's MLS clash against Orlando City while on international duty. Dario Zuparic (groin) or Larrys Mabiala (groin) could replace him in central defense for the game if either is fit enough.
