Welcome back, everyone.

The Vancouver Whitecaps head down to California this weekend to take on the LA Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park on Saturday night.

The Galaxy are off to a mixed start, now two years removed from their MLS Cup win, sitting 10th in the Western Conference with 12 points from 10 matches.

For Vancouver, there was a positive development last weekend as several familiar faces returned to action with WFC2, and they could be pushing for a first team return soon. Here is the latest from training.

Ok, on to rules and standings we go…

Guess the XI – Competition Rules

• Predictions are considered valid only if posted in the correct match thread before the official lineup is announced (typically about one hour before kickoff).
• You earn 1 point for each correctly predicted player in the Starting XI.
• You earn an additional 4 bonus points for correctly predicting all 11 starters.
• You earn 5 points for correctly predicting the match result (Win/Draw/Loss).
• This increases to 10 points if you also correctly predict the exact scoreline.
• Therefore, a perfect prediction (Starting XI + result + exact scoreline) is worth a maximum of 25 points.
