Made four saves in loss Clark made four saves and conceded once in the 2-1 loss to FC Dallas on Sunday.
Impact Clark was spectacular in the attempts that were on net for Dallas in the loss Sunday. The keeper was the main reason that Portland was able to stay in the match as extra-time ticked by. Dallas was pouring on the pressure and taking as many chances as they could and Clark was there to answer. He is a consistently good goalie and will still be a viable option for next season.

Scores second goal of season Villafana scored once, took one shot (one on target), created two chances, sent seven crosses (three accurate) and made two interceptions in the 2-1 loss to FC Dallas on Sunday.
Impact Villfana had a relatively good performance in the loss Sunday. The defender managed to play the full length of the match and joined the attack more so than defending for Portland. This became a major problem at the end of the match and the entirety of extra-time. However, after not scoring a goal in five years he did manage to score his second in as many games. Villafana is not a big peripheral defender and until he is, he is not to be warranted.

Creates six chances in loss Sunday Valeri assisted once, produced four shots (none on target), created six chances, sent thirteen crosses (one accurate), took seven corners and made one tackle (none won) in the 2-1...
Impact Valeri did everything he could besides score a goal himself in the loss Sunday. The midfielder was a creative mastermind and essentially developed or at least had a hand in every attack for Portland. He also was not shy of creating opportunities from the flank. Valeri did manage to assist the only goal for Portland and almost won the game in the final seconds of the match, but managed to hit the wrong side of the post. Valeri will continue to be the main man for Portland until someone replaces him.

Leaves with injury Williamson took one shot (none on target), created one chance, sent two crosses (one accurate) and made two interceptions in the 2-1 loss to FC Dallas on Sunday.
Impact Williamson had an average night at best in his short-lived time in the loss Sunday. The midfielder was doing what was needed to mitigate any attacks created by Dallas and was able to pinch a few times with Portland's attack as well. Unfortunately, he suffered an apparent leg injury right before half-time and was not able to play it out. Right now it is not specified on the severity of the injury. However, until further notice he is expected to start the beginning of next season.

Takes four shots in loss Mora took four shots (one on target), created two chances and sent two crosses (none accurate) in the 2-1 loss to FC Dallas on Sunday.
Impact Mora had an average performance in the loss Sunday. If Mora would have been more active in the final third, Portland would have had a much larger chance of walking away victorious. However, he barely did what was required and as expected was not enough for the Timbers to make way. Mora did at least use his pace to his advantage and create a few opportunities from the flank as well. With an eight game goalless drought, things will be expected to improve drastically otherwise he may be replaced if things don't change next season.
NOVEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Takes six shots in loss Polo produced six shots (three on target), sent two crosses (none accurate) and took one corner in the 2-1 loss to FC Dallas on Sunday.
Impact Polo was excellent in the loss Sunday. The midfielder showed excellent vision on the pitch and made multiple key runs to set up plays for Portland. His only major problem was not being able to complete the final pass from the flank and always sent the ball back to the top of the box away from where it needed to be. Even though Portland were eliminated in penalties, they may have found a new winger barring any roster or position changes before next season.

Not playing against FC Dallas Ebobisse (concussion) is on the bench for Sunday's game against FC Dallas.
Impact Ebobisse is not fully fit yet, but he was healthy enough to make the bench. He'll wait for a chance as a substitute with Felipe Mora starting as the lone forward.
NOVEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Not facing FC Dallas Cascante (ankle) is not in the squad for Sunday's game against FC Dallas.
Impact Cascante couldn't recover before the game and will be absent from this pivotal match, but he hasn't been a regular name in the lineup and his absence shouldn't hurt many fantasy rosters.
NOVEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Starting against FC Dallas Mora (Not Injury Related) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's match against FC Dallas.
Impact Mora played with Chile in the most recent two international matches but returned stateside on a charter flight, which means he's available for this contest. He is expected to lead the line upfront with Jeremy Ebobisse left on the bench due to a concussion.
NOVEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Sunday Polo (Not Injury Related) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's match against FC Dallas.
Impact Similar to Felipe Mora, Polo was involved on international duty with Peru but returned stateside on a charter flight, so he's available here. He's seen his playing time increase of late and should be a reliable attacking force for Portland here.

Called up to national team Mora was called up to the Chilean national team and as a result will miss the first rounds of the playoffs.
Impact Mora started six of the final seven matches of the season despite failing to score a goal. Hopefully, Jeremy Ebobisse recovers from his concussion for the first playoff match otherwise there could be some trouble in the lineup with Mora out.
