Impact MacNaughton netted a last gasp winner in the 97th minute assisted by Alexandru Matan. MacNaughton covered almost 10 kilometers, made 62 passes and also recorded five clearances, four interceptions and two tackles. He ended the campaign with four goal contributions in 29 appearances.

Ben Lundt - Registers clean sheet Lundt had six saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Houston Dynamo.

Impact Lundt recorded six saves and a clearance and secured a clean sheet. He finished the campaign with 17 saves across six matches and registered two clean sheets. Next, he takes on Los Angeles Football Club in the first round.

Carlo Holse - Out with knee problem Holse won't play in Saturday's Decision Day clash against Houston Dynamo due to a knee injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Holse's absence interrupts the best stretch of his short MLS stint, as he scored six goals and two assists over his last 10 league appearances, including a hat trick against the Galaxy. His absence leaves a hole next to Rafael Navarro and Simon Becher up front, with Sangbin Jeong and a fit-again Alexandru Matan available to contend for the starting role.

Saint Louis City SC looks to end a four-game skid with a win over the Houston Dynamo

Alexandru Matan - Expected back for Decision Day Matan (lower leg) could feature Saturday against Houston Dynamo after coach Yoann Damet commented "Everybody is fully fit, ready to go," per Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Di...

Impact Matan has been present in practice since Tuesday, so he might have a reasonable chance to rack up minutes just ahead of the playoffs. Following a four-game absence, the attacker's return will bolster the creative quality of a side that could use him in place of either Carlo Holse or Sangbin Jeong going forward. Additionally, Matan will look to regain the set-piece duties he had enjoyed prior to his injury.

Roman Burki - Will be ready for weekend Burki (concussion) is available for the weekend meeting with Houston Dynamo, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports while relaying comments from coach Yoann Damet "E...

Impact Burki has been inactive for three games due to the concussion, but he's now expected to return in goal at the expense of Ben Lundt after he resumed training earlier in the week. The experienced goalkeeper's deployment would be great news for a St. Louis side that has struggled to avoid goals against without him. However, they're still unreliable for clean sheets even if he plays, with his best source of value coming from an average of 2.6 saves per contest.

Alexandru Matan - Back in training Tuesday Matan (lower leg)returned to training Tuesday and could be an option for Saturday's regular-season finale against Houston, Tom Timmermann of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Matan has missed St. Louis' last three league matches, so seeing him back in training is a good sign for his availability this weekend. Whether he's ready to play the full 90 or not could be the only thing standing between him starting or coming off the bench.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Roman Burki - Back in training Burki (concussion) returned to training Tuesday and could be an option for Saturday's regular-season finale against Houston, Tom Timmermann of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Burki's return to training would give St. Louis City SC a huge boost for the final game of the regular season. If he doesn't suffer any setbacks, he should be good to go to recover his starting role between the posts to face the Dynamo, sending Ben Lundt to the bench. Burki has four clean sheets and has conceded 39 goals in 28 starts this season.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Navarro - Misses target in loss Navarro registered two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against San Diego FC.

Impact Navarro lacked sharpness in a disappointing showing, coming off nine goals and three assists across his previous nine league matches. His 19 goals remain the third-highest total in the league, but the quiet outing seems to have dropped him out of the Golden Boot race with Lionel Messi and Petar Musa. Navarro still carries the biggest offensive responsibility on the team heading into the decisive stages of the competition, so St. Louis will need him to recover his aim inside the box.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Tomas Totland - Logs three shots on goal Saturday Totland recorded three shots (three on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus San Diego FC.

Impact Totland stood out for St. Louis in an otherwise flat performance for the squad, as he got forward from the left side and tested the goalkeeper with every shot he took. Both the three shots and four crosses qualified as the wing-back's best totals since August, a sign that his attacking involvement is trending back up. Over the full season, his most notable numbers are his three goals and four assists across 28 matches played (22 starts). That mix of production at both ends keeps him a useful piece of the lineup even when the team around him struggles to find a goal.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Dante Polvara - Unusual creative output in loss Polvara registered one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus San Diego FC.

Impact Polvara played the full match on the left side of the back three and added some value going forward via long balls, but that wasn't enough to help St. Louis find a goal in this game. He also fell short in his main job of defending, as the team conceded the lone goal of the night. Over his last five MLS matches, the central man is averaging 2.0 clearances per game, and his side has kept a clean sheet in only one of them. The modest defensive output and the lack of shutouts leave his production leaning on the passing side.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Timo Baumgartl - Busy in defeat Baumgartl registered two tackles (zero won) and three clearances in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to San Diego FC.

Impact Baumgartl held his own in one-on-one situations, but he was unable to prevent St. Louis from falling in Saturday's clash. He has been an undisputed starter all year and the leader of the back line, posting the team's highest per-game averages in passes and clearances with 61.8 and 4.0, respectively. That workload gives him a reliable base of production regardless of the opposition. The only thing missing is a clean sheet to go with the volume, since the team has struggled to hold up around him.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Lundt - Beaten once by San Diego Lundt made one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against San Diego FC.

Impact Lundt couldn't prevent another defeat, stretching St. Louis' losing run to three matches while he fills in for Roman Burki (concussion). With eight saves and seven goals against over that period, the 31-year-old has barely been able to stand out. His poor form and the little guarantee he holds on to the starting role make him a risky fantasy option, since the position could change hands once Burki is cleared to return.

Saint Louis City SC looks to break losing streak in matchup with San Diego FC

Saint Louis City SC will try to stop a three-game losing streak when it hosts San Diego FC

OCTOBER 30 • Associated Press

Jeong Sang-bin - Assists off bench Jeong assisted once to go with three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-2 loss versus Portland Timbers.

Impact Jeong was taken off St. Louis's starting XI despite his previous goal-scoring effort and logged a reserve appearance Wednesday. By assisting against Portland, he has either scored or assisted in each of his last two appearances. Perhaps Jeong can finish his 2026 on a high note seemingly losing his starting spot earlier this fall.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Carlo Holse - Returns with assist Holse assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), 10 crosses (four accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat against Portland Timbers.

Impact After an ineffective Oct. 15 appearance against the Vancouver Whitecaps, Holse sat out St. Louis' next two games, though the reason for his recent absence has not been made clear. Holse returned with some impact nonetheless, assisting Daniel Edelman to keep the game close. Holse has been electric across his last six appearances, with five goals and two assists, a bigger G/A than games played.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Edelman - Back in lineup, scores goal Edelman scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat versus Portland Timbers.

Impact The second half of October was not so smooth for Edelman, as two of his three appearances were off St. Louis' bench. Wednesday marked the only time Edelman started, but he delivered offensively with a goal, his fifth in MLS action this season. 2026 has been a great offensive year for Edelman, whose 2022-2025 production included just three goals across 100-plus appearances with the Red Bulls.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Navarro - Another goal to name Navarro scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Portland Timbers.

Impact Navarro has logged double-digit goals in each of his last three seasons, but he's been so impressive that he could finish 2026 with a remarkable feat: double-digit goals for two different teams in the same season. St. Louis added him midseason, but he already has nine goals for the Midwest team this year, putting him one short of double digits. Adding the goals he scored with Colorado, Navarro has 19 for all of 2026.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Lundt - Allows three goals again Lundt made three saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat to Portland Timbers.

Impact Roman Burki (concussion) remained out Wednesday, so Lundt got a second chance in goal against Portland. In back-to-back appearances, he has conceded three goals. Unlike the first of the two appearances, Lundt logged fewer than four saves, so his latest performance was a downgrade. Lundt's next chance to play is Saturday at San Diego, only if Burki remains out.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Tomas Ostrak - Eligible to return against San Diego Ostrak has completed his one-match suspension following his red card against Real Salt Lake and is available for Saturday's MLS clash against San Diego on Oct. 31.

Impact Ostrak is back in contention after missing Wednesday's encounter against Portland due to his dismissal against Real Salt Lake, where he received a second yellow card in the 43rd minute. The midfielder had recently returned from a muscular injury suffered in September and was gradually rebuilding his playing time, scoring once across his last three appearances before the suspension. Carlo Holse and Sangbin Jeong provided alternative options during his absence, but Ostrak can now compete for a place in the starting lineup against San Diego.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Alexandru Matan - Still missing from training Matan (knock) did not participate in Monday's training session after missing Saturday's MLS clash against Real Salt Lake, casting doubt on his availability for Wednesday's encounte...

Impact Matan has yet to return to team training after sustaining a knock that initially ruled him out of the US Open Cup final against Columbus Crew. The Romanian winger also missed Saturday's match against Real Salt Lake, extending his absence to two consecutive fixtures. He had been a regular presence on the left wing before the injury, but Carlo Holse and Sangbin Jeong could continue to see additional playing time if he remains unavailable against Portland. His return timeline remains uncertain, although the injury was initially described as minor.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Roman Burki - Remains absent from training Burki (head) was absent from Monday's training session ahead of Wednesday's MLS clash against Portland Timbers after missing Saturday's encounter against Real Salt Lake, according...

Impact Burki remains sidelined after suffering a head injury that required hospital evaluation during the previous week. The Swiss goalkeeper was subsequently discharged and returned to the team hotel but was unable to feature against Real Salt Lake on Saturday. His continued absence from training raises doubts about his availability for Wednesday's encounter against Portland, although he has not officially been ruled out. Ben Lundt could continue between the posts if Burki remains unavailable, with his return dependent on further medical clearance.
