Impact Pochettino grabbed his first assist of the season on Thursday by setting up Jon Gallagher's opening goal against the Timbers. He is still yet to score a goal this campaign, but he's averaging 2.4 shots and 1.4 chances created per 90 minutes, so his production numbers should go up if he keeps up that rate of attacking involvement.

He doesn't carry a lot of upside, but he certainly has a decent floor.
