Finds net in win Acosta scored one goal from one shot and conceded a yellow card during Saturday's 4-1 win over Real Salt Lake.

Impact Acosta returned from his suspension for yellow card accumulation only to pick up another booking in addition to his goal. With one goal and one assist to go with nine chances created in his last four matches, Acosta isn't doing so bad if he can keep out of the referee's book.

Creates two chances Acosta had one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (three accurate), and four corners in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Acosta created two chances on the way to a stat sheet-filling performance. The midfielder also added four crosses on four corners and won a tackle. Acosta hasn't been lighting the league up offensively but his contributions on both sides of the ball have been invaluable to LAFC thus far in 2022. Unfortunately he will miss Friday's big match against the Sounders with a suspension for yellow card accumulation after picking up his fifth booking of the season on Sunday. Latif Blessing or Sebastian Mendez could replace him in midfield for the game.

Records assist in El Trafico Acosta took a shot and assisted a goal in Friday's 3-2 victory against the Galaxy. He also made an interception in the match, and he created four chances overall.

Impact Acosta grabbed his first assist of the season on Friday, as his corner kick found the head of Jose Cifuentes to nod home inside the opening 20 minutes. He remained a set piece threat throughout the match, and that seems to be his most valuable attacking outlet on this team as he's primarily a defensive midfielder aside from those set piece deliveries.

Impact Acosta had to fill in at right back Wednesday due to injuries for Ryan Hollingshead (undisclosed) and Franco Escobar (calf), but he was still an effective passer against Austin from this unfamiliar position. He may be asked to fill in there again Saturday versus Columbus if necessary.

Busy in loss Acosta made three tackles and sent in two crosses during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Colorado.

Impact Acosta filled the stat sheet against his old club during Saturday's loss. The midfielder was good for two crosses, a shot, and three tackles. While his fantasy upside isn't wildly strong, Acosta's ability to chip in all over the board make him a worthwhile play in some fantasy formats. Acosta will likely be back in the starting XI on Wednesday, against Austin.
