Gianluca Busio - Creates three chances in loss Busio took two shots and created three chances in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Portland. He also made two interceptions and won three of four tackles in the match.

Impact Busio was solid on both sides of the ball on Saturday but it wasn't enough to earn a result against the Timbers. Still, the 19-year-old has firmly established himself as not just a starter but a contributor in many different aspects for his side, and he is regularly turning in good performances. On Wednesday he faces Colorado, which are third in the Western Conference.

Alan Pulido - Takes six shots in loss Pulido took six shots and created three chances in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Portland. He also made a clearance in the match.

Impact Pulido was very dangerous on Saturday, but his shooting wasn't accurate enough, his teammates couldn't convert from his chances and the Timbers came away with the victory. On Wednesday he will face third-placed Colorado, which have conceded eight goals in eight matches this season.

Johnny Russell - Takes five shots in loss Russell took five shots (two on target) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Portland.

Tim Melia - Concedes two goals against Portland Melia made a save but conceded two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against the Timbers.

Impact Melia will be disappointed to have allowed his opponents to come from behind and take the win Saturday after being beaten by strikes from Dairon Asprilla and Marvin Loria. It won't get any easier Wednesday against third-placed Colorado, which have scored 14 goals in eight matches this season.

Remi Walter - Out with knee injury Walter will miss Saturday's match at Portland due to a knee injury, according to his club's pre-match report.

Impact Walter picked up the injury during Saturday's draw with Austin FC and will miss out on this road trip entirely. Felipe Hernandez could get the start while Walter is out.

Graham Zusi - Has hamstring issue Zusi is listed as questionable for Saturday's trip to Portland with a hamstring injury, according to his club's pre-match report.

Impact Zusi only played for 42 minutes in Saturday's draw with Austin and it appears the injury was picked up in that match. Jaylin Lindsey could take Zusi's place in the lineup if he's unable to start against the Timbers. When Zusi is fit, his value has been decent with 21 crosses in four appearances this season.

Gadi Kinda - Listed as questionable Kinda is listed as questionable for Saturday's match against Portland due to a foot injury, according to his club's pre-match report.

Impact Kinda is one of the more dangerous midfielders around with three goals in six starts but he's already missed one match in June due to safety protocols and now appears to have picked up a knock. Gianluca Busio could remain as the central-midfielder if Kinda doesn't make the trip northwest.

Tim Melia - Concedes one in draw Melia conceded one goal and made one save during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Austin FC.

Impact Melia has conceded four goals in four matches since returning from his chest injury, though he's only conceded more than one goal in one game while winning three and recording one draw. This is a solid record for one of the more consistent goalkeepers in this league, though a defense that hasn't always had a full roster may prevent more chances for clean sheets. Up next is a trip to Portland, which have scored nine goals in seven matches this season.

Gianluca Busio - Busy in draw Busio put five shots off target to go with two chances created from 12 crosses (three accurate) during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Austin FC.

Impact Busio has yet to see a consistent payoff with assists, but his work rate has put him in the upper end of the leaderboards in a few different attacking stats. As he's also taken 19 corners in the last two matches, Busio has guaranteed himself good value by taking a high number of set pieces as well. Up next is a trip to Portland, which have conceded 11 goals in seven matches.

Johnny Russell - Provides assist in draw Russell provided one assist from five chances created on 20 crosses (two accurate) and took seven shots (two on goal) during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Austin FC.

Impact Russell has only started four times this season and only completed the full 90 twice, but in each of those games he's logged one assist and provided 10 crosses. These high-volume stat lines are excellent for fantasy in just about any format, so it's not the worst idea to track Russell's progression if he sticks in the lineup. Up next is a trip to Portland.

JUNE 15 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Salloi - Scores in draw Salloi scored one goal from seven shots (two on goal) and created three chances during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Austin FC.

Impact Salloi didn't get called up to Hungary's team for the Euros like other countrymen playing in MLS, but he did score his third goal in four matches over the past month. This helps to keep SKC ticking while Alan Pulido is unavailable on national team duty, but it's also a good sign that Salloi's production isn't limited when other stars are on the field as well. Up next is a trip to Portland, which have conceded the fourth-fewest shots on goal to forwards in the league.
