Miguel Trauco - Sends in four crosses in draw Trauco had one off-target shot, created one chance, sent in four crosses (one accurate) and made three tackles (two won) during Sunday's scoreless draw against Colorado.

Impact Trauco was active on both ends of the pitch, although not like he was on the previous match. The ability to always go up the field and get involved on the build-up of plays give the left-back an edge against his positional peers when it takes to fantasy production and San Jose supporters will hope he keeps evolving to showcase all his talent during his first full MLS campaign.

Cristian Espinoza - Puts up nice numbers versus Rapids Espinoza had two off-target shots, created three chances and sent in nine crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's scoreless draw against Colorado.

Impact Espinoza had his numbers heavily boosted by his role as set-pieces taker but also had some moments on open play, being a big threat from the right flank and pacing all players in crosses as he usually does. With eight goals and three assists over 16 league starts this season, the playmaker also leads all MLS players with 162 crosses and ranks second in both accurate crosses, with 39, and chances created, with 42, being one of the league's top fantasy performers so far.

Benjamin Kikanovic - Takes two shots versus Colorado Kikanovic had two off-target shots during Sunday's scoreless draw against Colorado.

Impact Kikanovic was very active during the first half, even hitting the post with a powerful long-range shot, but couldn't keep the same pace after halftime, which ultimately led him to be subbed off after 76 minutes. A starter in each of the last five matches, the forward scored just once during this stretch and will probably need to be more consistent if he wants to retain his starting spot moving forward.

Jeremy Ebobisse - Takes two shots versus Colorado Ebobisse had two off-target shots, created two chances and suffered three fouls during Sunday's scoreless draw against Colorado.

Impact Ebobisse didn't find the back of the net as he did on the previous match but came close to that just after the hour mark, with his header hitting the crossbar with the goalkeeper already beaten on the play. The forward also created some chances for teammates and made the opposing defense work hard to stop him all the time. With six goals over 16 league starts, Ebobisse is having a solid year so far but is still below the standards set by himself with his breakthrough campaign last season.

Daniel - Saves PK, keeps another clean sheet Daniel made five saves, including a penalty, and kept a clean sheet during Sunday's scoreless draw against Colorado.

Impact Daniel made his third consecutive start and had another great performance between the sticks, making several big interventions and saving a penalty in the 70th minute to allow his side to escape with at least one point. With back-to-back clean sheets and 13 saves combined over the last two starts, the goalkeeper currently has the edge over JT Marcinkowski on the fight for the starting spot. Up next for Daniel is Saturday's clash against Philadelphia.

Carlos Akapo - Option off bench Akapo (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Colorado.

Impact Akapo is back on the bench after missing nearly two months with a hamstring issue. The defender is available once more but isn't fully fit and available for a return to the starting XI. Akapo has been a consistent starter when fully fit and available and could replace Miguel Trauco moving forward.
