The right-back has been an immediate part of the starting XI and has started all seven matches since making the switch to the West Coast. Laryea is still looking for his first goal contribution with Vancouver despite his consistent minutes.

Ryan Raposo - Five crosses in loss Raposo generated five crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Real Salt Lake.

Impact Raposo was held off the scoresheet for a second match in a row but still found some solid creative volume. The midfielder has stared three matches in a row and has sent in 10 crosses in that span. Raposo has found volume on both sides of the pitch, and should continue his big role in the closing stages of the regular season.

Impact Gauld moved to double-digits for assists during Saturday's loss, his 20th goal contribution. The forward has been excellent in 2023 and is putting together a career-year in every category. With double-digit goals and assists Gauld now has the chance to set some dizzying tallies in the final matches of the regular season.

Sam Adekugbe - Officially questionable Adekugbe (knee) is questionable for Saturday's trip to Salt Lake, according to the Vancouver injury report.

Impact Adekugbe has missed a pair of matches but is now upgraded to questionable. Since joining Vancouver the wing-back has appeared four times (starting twice) and has yet to play more than 62 minutes. With an uncertain fitness level a bench spot is more likely even if Adekugbe is able to pass the late fitness check.

Ryan Gauld - Bags game-winning assist Gauld assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), 12 crosses (seven accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Toronto FC.

Impact Gauld had yet another great performance, assisting on Brian White's game-winning goal while also whipping in a season-high of 12 crosses. The forward's success from August seems to be carrying over to September after notching a goal contribution in his fourth straight match, and his tenth in the past eight games. Gauld has debatably been the best player in the MLS over the past month and will look to keep the hot streak alive when he visits Houston in his next match.

Ryan Raposo - Notches second assist Raposo assisted once to go with three shots (two on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Toronto FC.

Impact Raposo earned his assist in Friday's match after finding Tristan Blackmon for the equalizing goal in the derby win. It was only the second assist of the year for the 24-year-old and his first since the middle of July. The midfielder still only holds a rotational role, starting in 13 of Vancouver's 27 matches this season, but has been decent when given the opportunity, contributing 15 chances created, 66 crosses, 19 interceptions and 18 clearances in 20 appearances.

This was his 11th goal of the season and his 15th goal contribution. The 27-year-old now leads the team in goals, breaking the tie with Ryan Gauld this game. He will hope to keep his hot streak going against the Dynamo after scoring in four of the last six matches.

His next match will not be any easier when Vancouver visits Houston to play the Dynamo.
