Yeimar Gomez Andrade - Leads Seattle to clean sheet Yeimar Gomez generated one tackle (one won) and eight clearances in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact Yeimar Gomez once again led the Seattle backline to a clean sheet Wednesday, their second in as many matches, as Seattle held Vancouver at bay to earn a 3 - 0 victory in British Columbia. Seattle's first choice central defender led the team with eight clearances, matching his total from Seattle's previous match. Over his last five appearances (five starts) Yeimar Gomez has made 15 interceptions and 33 clearances, helping the defense concede just twice over that span while recording three clean sheets.

Impact Morris provided the assist for Seattle's opening goal Wednesday as they brushed aside Vancouver 3 - 0. Morris now has four assists on the season, three of which have come over his most recent five appearances (five starts). Over that span, Morris has also scored three goals, giving him 13 for the season - tying his career best mark in a single MLS season.

Paul Rothrock - Piling up the goals Rothrock scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact Rothrock netted a second half goal, Seattle's third, to ice the match Wednesday as Seattle defeated Vancouver 3 - 0. The goal marked the second time this season in which Rothrock has been able to find the net in consecutive matches. Over his last five appearances (five starts), the young forward has scored three goals and supplied one assist while creating five chances and pouring 16 crosses (four accurate) into the box.

Georgi Minoungou - First MLS goal Minoungou scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and three crosses (one accurate) in Wednesday's 3-0 win versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact Minoungou redirected a ball at the far post into the back of the net Wednesday to score his first MLS goal and open the scoring for Seattle as they eased past Vancouver 3 - 0. Since being resigned at the beginning of September from Seattle's MLS Next Pro affiliate, Tacoma Defiance, the young forward has made six appearances (two starts), creating four chances and attempting 11 crosses (one accurate). With Seattle continually seeking solutions in the final third, it will be worth monitoring if the club turns their development project loose for the final stretch of the regular season.

The veteran midfielder is having his best season in Seattle, having now scored nine goals and assisted 11 times over 30 appearances (26 starts). Done the stretch, Rusnak will look to exceed his previous career best marks of 11 goals and 13 assists in a single MLS season.

Over his last five appearances (five starts), Frei has conceded just twice, making eight saves and recording three clean sheets. Frei's and Seattle's next challenge comes Saturday when they travel to take on Colorado who have scored six goals over their most recent five matches.

Raul Ruidiaz - Questionable once more Ruidiaz (knee) is questionable for Saturday's clash with Houston.
Impact Ruidiaz has gone unused in each of the last three matches, and this knee injury may be a large portion of why. The forward is also simply not the player he once was, making this sort of injury much more manageable for the club. Jordan Morris should continue to lead the line.

Joao Paulo - Spotted in training Thursday Joao Paulo (calf) was spotted in training Thursday and could be an option to face the Dynamo on Saturday, Jeremiah Oshan of Sounders at Heart reports.
Impact The Brazilian midfielder has missed the Sounders' last three games, and while his availability for Saturday remains uncertain, his return to training is certainly an encouraging sign. Joao Paulo has started in all but four of his appearances this season, but he might be available off the bench Saturday as long as he's deemed fit by the Sounders' staff.
