Sebastian Berhalter - Strong in service Berhalter recorded one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (four accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 3-0 win versus Toronto FC.

Impact Berhalter did his job with eight crosses and four corners, but was unlucky when it came to logging an assist. If he keeps this approach up against a Portland Timbers defense which has let in goals routinely, he's likely to have another robust stat line featuring an assist or two.

Mathias Laborda - Logs assist Laborda assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 win versus Toronto FC.

Impact Laborda only created one chance and didn't provide a ton of service but was credited with an assist. The defender will likely have a chance to be involved in the attack again next week against Portland Timbers. Though Portland has scored three goals in two games, it has already allowed four and had a minus-7 goal differential a year ago.

Brian White - Scores in win White scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Toronto FC.

Impact White added what is usually deemed as the back-breaking goal in soccer, putting Vancouver up 3-0. The forward can build on this performance against a Portland Timbers squad which struggles to defend. Portland has already given up four goals this season and conceded 48 goals in 34 games a year ago.

Thomas Muller - Tallies brace Muller scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 win over Toronto FC.

Impact One of the German legend's goals came from the penalty spot, but this was an impactful performance after managing just one shot in the season opener. Muller has a good matchup looming against Portland Timbers, who have already conceded four goals in two matches and gave up 48 goals in 34 MLS games a season ago.

Yohei Takaoka - Keeps clean sheet Takaoka registered two saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Toronto FC.

Impact Takoaka didn't have much to do but did make two saves in a clean sheet against Toronto. He should continue having success against a Portland Timbers team which did score 41 goals a season ago and has three goals in two games, but has a propensity to give up more goals than it scores.

Cheikh Sabaly - On bench Saturday Sabaly (not injury related) is available as a bench option in Saturday's meeting against Toronto.

Impact Sabaly joined the Whitecaps from French side Metz ahead of the 2026 season, but he didn't play in the opening match, presumably because of a paperwork issue. The attacker will now strengthen his team's front line if he gets opportunities in place of Aziel Jackson, Jeevan Singh Badwal or Brian White.

Impact Cabrera was subbed off in the 72nd minute of Wednesday's CONCACAF Champions Cup second-leg clash against CS Cartagines with a potential injury concern and is expected to undergo scans in the coming days to determine the full extent of the issue. That said, he has primarily served as a depth piece in central midfield for the Whitecaps, rotating in rather than locking down a regular starting role. Even if the setback proves significant, it is unlikely to shake up the starting XI.

Tristan Blackmon - Earns extension Blackmon has reached an agreement on an extension with Vancouver, according to his club.

Impact Blackmon is going to remain with Vancouver and has extended his ties with a new contract through the 2029/30 season. This comes after an outstanding season last year, helping his team to eight clean sheets in 27 appearances (25 starts) last season. He should remain an everyday starter, starting in the season opener as well this campaign.

Emmanuel Sabbi - Receives one-match ban Sabbi received a suspension for one game due to the serious foul play in the 50th minute of Saturday's season opener against Real Salt Lake, the league announced.

Impact Sabbi is set to miss Saturday's clash against Toronto after being handed a one-match suspension for serious foul play in the 50th minute of the season opener against Real Salt Lake. It's a tough break for the Whitecaps, as the attacking midfielder is a locked-in starter on the right wing whenever he's available and a key piece in their front line. His absence forces a shake-up in the starting XI, with newcomer Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly in line to step into the role if he's cleared to go after his recent move from the Grenats.

Andres Cubas - Signs contract extension Cubas has reached a contract extension with Vancouver until the 2027/28 MLS season, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Cubas is likely to remain one of the Whitecaps' first-choice holding midfielders after securing a new deal with the team. He has made more than 25 starts in each of his last three MLS seasons, and that could remain the case in 2026 as long as he stays fit. He has previously served as a dominant ball distributor and defensive contributor while recording occasional playmaking stats.

Impact Cubas had a strong season debut, winning five of the six tackles made to help keep the clean sheet Saturday. He is playing in his sixth season in MLS as he continues to be a strong asset to the defensive midfield, averaging about 75 tackles made per campaign since 2022.

Thomas Muller - Two crosses in win Muller generated one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Real Salt Lake.

Impact Muller had a relatively quiet dat Saturday, making just two crosses with one chance created during the win over Salt Lake. He is expected to retain high attacking numbers in 2026, having scored eight goals with three assists in just 12 MLS appearances during his debut season in 2025.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Aziel Jackson - Nets goal in team debut Jackson scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Real Salt Lake.

Impact Jackson signed with Vancouver over the winter, scoring on his debut match. This is a promising start, having been just a bench option in recent seasons, having scored just six career MLS goals since joining the league back in 2021.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Yohei Takaoka - Keeps clean sheet Takaoka recorded two saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 win against Real Salt Lake.

Impact Takaoka earned the clean sheet Saturday after making two saves against Salt Lake. He is coming off a stellar 2025 campaign that resulted in 14 clean sheets and a Western Conference championship. A veteran in the league, the keeper has been averaging about 100 saves and 10 clean sheets per season, having been one of the most consistent keepers in MLS in recent years.
