Midfielders

Emanuel Reynoso was electric last round, leading all players with 24 points over two appearances. Minnesota have multiple attackers away on international duty, which could open up even more opportunities for the Loons' No. 10 to do some damage.

Forwards

With strike partner Dénis Bouanga away on international duty, look for Carlos Vela to be LAFC’s primary attacking threat against the Portland Timbers and LA Galaxy. Vela has already scored and assisted against both opponents this season, notching 11 points against the Timbers and beating up cross-town rival LA Galaxy for 17 points in Round 8.
