Welcome back, everyone.
The Vancouver Whitecaps will have had the chance to settle slightly, without multiple competitions to manage this week and a full slate of rest and training at home before a match with LAFC this Sunday.
In terms of player availability, here is the latest from Sørensen at training:
I spoke with Jesper Sørensen yesterday, this was his injury update on all of the players after their first training session after three days off.@WhitecapsFC | #VWFC pic.twitter.com/gNgcG0BKK7

Alright, on to rules and standings we go…
– 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.
