Welcome back, everyone.
After a hectic win over St. Louis this past weekend, the Vancouver Whitecaps are on the road midweek to take on Minnesota United in the twin cities.
After looking like a top contender in the West as recently as a couple of weeks ago, four straight losses have dropped the Loons down to 7th in the West, just one point ahead of Vancouver with an additional match played.
In terms of roster news for Vancouver, Har has the latest from training as always.

Blackmon groin strain, won’t travel to Minnesota. Could join the team in Montreal.
Kreilach did not train, will travel with the team to Minnesota.

I will be back ahead of the weekend on the road in Montreal with updating standings, for now, on to rules as always.
- Predictions will be ‘valid’ if posted HERE (or more accurately, whichever is the correct match thread) before the lineup is officially announced, usually about an hour before kickoff.
- You receive 1 point for every player you correctly guess to be in the Starting XI. You receive 4 bonus points for correctly predicting all 11 starters.
- You get 5 points for correctly guessing Win/Lose/Draw, this doubles to 10 if you also predict the right score-line along with the result.
- All this means, if you correctly predict the Starting XI, Final Score, and Winner, you can earn 25 points!
- At the end of each half of the season, the contestant’s lowest two scores (or missed predictions) of that period will be deducted from the cumulative standings.

I think Martins is really slow and Schopf will make a return but I have no idea where to put him!
