Impact Hollingshead kicked off the 2023 campaign as LAFC's starter at right-back, though he'll face increased competition as the season progresses from winter signing Sergi Palencia.

Ryan Hollingshead - Starts in season opener Hollingshead made a clearance, an interception and won three of three tackles in Saturday's 3-2 victory against the Timbers.
Denis Bouanga - Takes two shots in season opener Bouanga took two shots and created a chance in Saturday's 3-2 victory against the Timbers. He also recorded a secondary assist and won two of three tackles in the match.
Impact Bouanga was active in attack to open the campaign against Portland on Saturday. He started each of LAFC's final nine games of 2022 (including playoffs), and he enters 2023 as the primary option on the left wing.

Kellyn Acosta - Takes two shots against Portland Acosta took two shots (one on target) and won one of two tackles in Saturday's 3-2 season-opening victory against the Timbers. He also made two clearances and an interception in th...
Impact Acosta played well on both sides of the ball to begin the 2023 campaign on Saturday, though Portland gave his side a scare with a second-half comeback that came up just short.

Aaron Long - Comes off bench in club debut Long played the final 10 minutes of Saturday's 3-2 victory against the Timbers.
Impact Long made his first appearance for LAFC Saturday as he came off the bench for Giorgio Chiellini. With the Italian turning 39 years old this season, there is likely to be plenty of rotation throughout the season and Long will get his starts in central defense.

Jose Cifuentes - Creates chance in opening win Cifuentes made two clearances and created a chance in Saturday's 3-2 victory against the Timbers. He also won three of five tackles in the match.
Impact Cifuentes had a relatively quiet attacking outing to open the 2023 campaign against Portland on Saturday, but the 23-year-old has racked up 12 goals and 11 assists across his last two MLS seasons and should remain a dangerous player from midfield for LAFC.

Justin Rasmussen - Creates two chances in loss Rasmussen created two chances and won two of two tackles in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against LAFC. He also made a clearance and an interception in the match.
Impact Rasmussen was active going forward from left-back on Saturday, but it wasn't enough to salvage a result against the defending MLS champions LAFC. Rasmussen has started both of Portland's opening games of the campaign over Claudio Bravo, who's working his way back from a hamstring injury.

David Matthew Bingham - Concedes three goals to LAFC Bingham made two saves but conceded three goals in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against LAFC.
Impact Bingham was beaten by strikes from Giorgio Chiellini, Carlos Vela and Kwadwo Opoku on Saturday, but his side almost erased the deficit and came back in the second half. Next up is a match with high-flying expansion side St. Louis City, though it remains possible that Aljaz Ivacic (hand) is fit enough to replace Bingham in goal by then.
