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.
No longer suspended
Takaoka has served his one-match suspension and will return to face Chicago Fire on July 16 following the World Cup break.
ANALYSIS
Takaoka had been forced to sit out the San Diego fixture after receiving a red card in the 64th minute of last week's loss to Houston Dynamo, with Isaac Boehmer covering between the posts in his absence. The goalkeeper is expected to regain his starting role against Chicago Fire once MLS action resumes after the tournament.
