MLS

Injury Suspension
Est. Return 7/16/2026
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.
Shown red card against Houston
Takaoka made three saves but earned a red card during the 64th minute of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Houston Dynamo.
ANALYSIS
Takaoka was sent off after committing a foul just outside his penalty area, leaving his team at a disadvantage for the rest of the match. He'll miss the next visit to San Diego through suspension, with Isaac Boehmer available to fill the void in the starting lineup. Once he has served his ban, Takaoka should regain his spot for a week 16 clash against Chicago Fire.
