Yohei Takaoka
30-Year-Old
Vancouver Whitecaps FC
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Takaoka is heading into his third season with Vancouver, and he's coming off two nearly identical seasons. He's started 35 and 37 matches, conceded 51 and 50 goals, and made 103 and 99 saves in his first two seasons, respectively in 2023 and 2024. Takaoka has never been the problem for Vancouver, but he hasn't been the goalkeeper who can steal a game and get them over the hump in the MLS Cup playoffs. The playing style of Vancouver's new coach could change Takaoka's situation, with a defensively-minded coach potentially giving him the chance to reach double-digit clean sheets for the first time in MLS.
Keeps clean sheet Sunday
Takaoka registered four saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 6-0 win versus Minnesota United.
ANALYSIS
While his attack was scoring goals left and right, Takaoka also had a strong outing on the other end of the pitch. He made a season-high four saves and kept his third clean sheet of the season in the blowout win, his best outing of the season so far. He'll look to keep rolling Saturday versus San Jose, a side which has scored six goals through four matches this season.
