Deke Mathews continues in the Western Conference for part five of his 2024 MLS preview, which includes an LAFC team still in the market to make moves.
The Timbers need points for home-field advantage to start the playoffs, and RotoWire's JD Bazzo is expecting Diego Valeri to step up this week in that pursuit.
Brian Fernandez hasn't scored in five of his last six starts, but RotoWire's JD Bazzo explains why the Timbers attacker is so high in his positional rankings for Week 23.
A matchup against Atlanta won't be the easiest, but that won't stop JD Bazzo from making LAFC's Carlos Vela his top forward this week.
Carlos Vela is averaging a goal and half an assist per match this season, and with two games against FC Dallas this week, he easily takes a top spot in JD Bazzo's positional rankings.
