Benjamin Sweat - Records assist against Nashville Sweat took a shot on target and assisted a goal in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Nashville SC. He also made an interception in the match.

Impact Sweat grabbed his first assist for Kansas City in setting up Remi Walter's opener on Saturday, but his opponents stormed back in the second half to take the three points. Sweat has started three games in a row at left back after Logan Ndenbe started the first three, so it will be interesting to see who manager Peter Vermes selects in the position as the season develops.

Remi Walter - Scores goal against Nashville Walter scored a goal and created three chances in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Nashville SC. He also made a block and a clearance in the match.

Impact Walter opened the scoring Saturday with his second goal of the season, but he couldn't prevent his opponents from coming from behind and winning the game. It won't get any easier next weekend against LAFC, which sit top of the Western Conference through six games.

Kortne Thompson-Ford - Returns Saturday Ford (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Nashville.

Impact Ford is back on the bench after recovering from a minor ankle injury. The defender is a complete non-factor for fantasy purposes, and after nearly four years struggling with knee and ankle injuries it's hard to trust him in general.

Gadi Kinda - Training individually Kinda was training off to the side with Sporting KC on Tuesday, but there is still no timetable for his return, according to Daniel Sperry of the Kansas City Star.

Impact Kansas City manager Peter Vermes said that Kinda is still in "offseason mode" as he recovers from a knee surgery he underwent in January. Oriol Rosell, Roger Espinoza, Remi Walter and Felipe Hernandez will continue to hold down the fort in midfield until he's ready to return.

Nicolas Isimat-Mirin - Makes eight clearances in loss Isimat-Mirin made one tackle, eight clearances, one interception and one block during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Vancouver.

Impact Isimat-Mirin couldn't prevent his side from losing the match but at least put up a nice individual performance, which included a season-best eight clearances. The centre back looks to have his starting spot locked up for this season, barring an unexpected performance dip, and will try to keep it up during next Saturday's home clash against Nashville.

Roger Espinoza - Takes three shots in loss Espinoza had three shots (two on target) and created one chance during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Vancouver.

Impact Espinoza was brought at halftime, subbing in for Oriol Rosell, and was still one of SKC's few bright spots here, being involved on several dangerous plays and attempting a team-high three shots. The midfielder will hope this showing helps him to be back in the starting XI for next Saturday's home match against Nashville.

Tim Melia - Concedes one in loss Melia made two saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Vancouver.

Impact Melia looked on his way to a second consecutive clean sheet but everything changed when Ryan Raposo made most of the opportunity after the defense failed to clear a chipped pass into the box and scored the lone goal of the match for the opposition. With nine goals allowed over six starts so far this season, Melia will try to bounce back during next Saturday's home match against Nashville.

Nikola Vujnovic - Takes shot in win Vujnovic took a shot on target and made two blocks in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Real Salt Lake.

Impact Vujnovic was once again only slightly effective up front against Salt Lake on Saturday, and he's taken a shot in all three games he's started in place of Khiry Shelton (calf). The 25-year-old will likely return to the bench now that Shelton is nearing full fitness, but he has room to grow still in his first MLS season.
