Hugo Cuypers - Takes two shots in loss Cuypers recorded two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 1-0 loss against Charlotte FC.
Impact Cuypers didn't have many chances to find the back of the net for the Fire in this one, though at least he recorded his third straight contest with two or more total shots. Cuypers only has three goals on the season, and he's expected to lead the line when the Fire takes on Columbus on Saturday.

Chris Brady - Gives up late goal Wednesday Brady registered one save and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat versus Charlotte FC.
Impact Brady was well on his way to securing a clean sheet until Ashley Westwood's late free-kick sneaked into an impossible angle for the young goalkeeper. Brady has now gone three straight matches without a clean sheet, and the fact that he's recorded three or more saves in all but one of his last eight appearances suggests Chicago is not playing at its best on the defensive end.

Adilson Malanda - Records five clearances Malanda had one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 1-0 win against Chicago Fire. He also added five clearances and two interceptions.
Impact Malanda was active on the defensive end, and as has been the case all season long, he delivered an impressive effort while helping Charlotte keep a third consecutive clean sheet. He's expected to remain in the starting lineup while being a productive presence when Charlotte takes on the Galaxy on Saturday.

Kerwin Vargas - Takes four shots in win Vargas had four shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 1-0 win against Chicago Fire.
Impact Vargas didn't crack the scoresheet despite recording four shots, which represents his second-highest tally in the season. The speedy winger has been on a tear of late, racking up two goals and one assist across his last five appearances.

Ashley Westwood - Scores stunning winning goal Westwood scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 1-0 win against Chicago Fire.
Impact Westwood came through in the clutch for Charlotte by scoring the game-winning goal, but he did it in impressive fashion with a beautiful free kick that went over the wall and past Chris Brady late in the second half. Westwood is not known for his offensive contributions as a defensive midfielder, but his fantasy upside should experience a boost if he continues to take set pieces. Westwood has two goals this season and has been an ever-present starter for Charlotte, featuring in the XI and going the full 90 in each game so far.

Kristijan Kahlina - Keeps clean sheet in win Kahlina made four saves and allowed zero goals in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over Chicago Fire.
Impact Kahlina didn't have a lot of work Wednesday, but he responded every time he was needed en route to keeping his third consecutive clean sheet. He's now gone 270 minutes (excluding stoppage time) without conceding, a run he'll aim to extend when facing the Galaxy on Saturday.
