Impact Roldan matched his season high for crosses as Seattle cruised to their 10th straight match unbeaten. He's been a major part of their defensive set up, which has been one of the best in MLS. Expect the right wing-back to return to the lineup against Vancouver on Saturday.

Joao Paulo - Elegant attacking display during win Joao Paulo supplied eight crosses (five accurate), created four scoring chances, and made five tackles (won three) during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Real Salt Lake.
Impact Joao Paulo was immense in both attack and defense as he contributed in multiple different areas to end with a solid outing. He and Raul Ruidiaz have been Seattle's top two players through 10 matches and Joao Paulo should stay in the lineup for Saturday's match against Vancouver.

Will Bruin - Strong showing during win Bruin took three shots (two on goal), created one scoring chance, and made two clearances during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Real Salt Lake.

He was dangerous throughout and his shot on David Ochoa led to to the rebound that Cristian Roldan finished to open the scoring. Bruin's showing on Wednesday could bring him back into the side for Saturday's match against Vancouver.
JUNE 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Stefan Cleveland - Makes one save during win Cleveland made one save and conceded one goal during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Real Salt Lake.
Impact Cleveland made his fifth straight start as Seattle came away with all three points following a late penalty from Raul Ruidiaz. Cleveland has been solid as Stefan Frei's replacement and is a viable play due to Seattle's strong defensive play through 10 matches. Expect him back in net for Saturday's match against Vancouver.

Cristian Roldan - Finds back of net during win Roldan scored a goal, took four shots (two on goal) and put in six crosses (one accurate) during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Real Salt Lake.

Impact Ruidiaz gave Seattle all three points by way of an 88th minute penalty kick. This was his eighth goal in 10 matches as he's been prolific for the only side still unbeaten in MLS. Seattle will host Vancouver on Saturday in their third match in seven days, which could mean Ruidiaz sees a rare opportunity for rest. If he's in the stating XI, he'll be a top forward option given his form to begin the season.

He's been the main man on free kicks with Nicolas Lodeiro sidelines, which has been a huge boost to his attacking numbers. As long as Lodeiro is sidelined, Joao Paulo will be a coveted option. Expect him back in the lineup against Real Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Stefan Cleveland - Makes one save during win Cleveland made one save and conceded one goal during Saturday's 2-1 win over Seattle.

Impact Ruidiaz pounced on a loose boal in the 49th minute to give Seattle a lead they wouldn't relinquish. This was his seventh goal in nine starts and a classic poachers goal. He continues to be a dangerous attacking piece despite Seattle missing Nicolas Lodeiro and Jordan Morris due to injury. After spending time with the Peru national team recently, there's a chance Ruidiaz sees some sort of rest during Wednesday's match against Real Salt Lake due to the short space between matches.

Nouhou Tolo - Misses win with groin strain Tolo missed Saturday's 2-1 win over Seattle due to a left groin strain.
Impact Tolo has started every game of the season so far but had to sit this one out due to injury. With two more games to play in the coming week, Tolo could easily be out until July. If that proves to be the case, Abdoulaye Cissoko replaced Tolo in the starting lineup and could keep that place in Wednesday's game against Real Salt Lake.
