Impact Reynolds scored his first MLS goal in one of his four appearances in the previous campaign, although he played more of a defensive role and saw only one start. He's expected to be an option mainly at right-back for Kansas City, who also have Jake Davis available for that spot.

Shapi Suleymanov - Limited production despite status Suleymanov recorded two goals and three assists across 32 appearances (26 starts) in the 2025 MLS season.

Impact Suleymanov made his debut in MLS in the 2025 season after joining SKC from Russian side FK Krasnodar. Even though he was a regular starter throughout the season, his output of five goal contributions was subpar. Suleymanov routinely played on the right side of the attack, and aside from his five goal contributions, he also notched 19 chances created, 82 crosses and 32 corners taken.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dejan Joveljic - Excellent in first season with SKC Joveljic recorded 18 goals and added two assists in 32 appearances (31 starts) during the 2025 MLS season.

Impact Joveljic signed with Sporting KC after bagging 21 goals and adding six assists for the Galaxy in 2024, and while he didn't match those numbers, he still had an impressive campaign. Joveljic reached 20 goal contributions for the second straight season and should remain as the team's primary scoring weapon in 2026 as well.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jacob Davis - Steady presence in midfield Davis started in 19 of his 28 appearances in the 2025 MLS season.

Impact Davis didn't do much in the scoring column, as he finished with only assist in his 28 contests, but that's understandable given his holding role in the middle of the park. Davis did accrue some solid defensive numbers with 42 tackles, 26 clearances and 22 interceptions. He also created 24 chances and sent 67 crosses, both decent numbers relative to his role.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Manu Garcia - Thrives as playmaker in 2025 Garcia recorded two goals and six assists in the 2025 MLS season.

Impact Garcia was a regular for Sporting KC and was in the lineup in all but four of his 27 appearances. Aside from being one of the team's primary playmaking threats, Garcia also posted solid peripheral stats, such as 44 chances created, 56 crosses, 20 corners and 30 tackles. This was an excellent debut in the MLS for Garcia, who should remain as a key player in midfielder for SKC in 2026.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jansen Miller - Makes 25 starts in 2025 Miller started in 25 of his 29 appearances during the 2025 MLS season.

Impact Miller was a regular presence at the back for Sporting KC and did an excellent job of racking up defensive stats. In his 29 appearances, Miller averaged 5.1 clearances, 1.2 tackles and 1.0 blocked shots per game. He also registered one assist. Miller should be a regular at the back once again in 2026.
