Yohei Takaoka
29-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.
Two saves for win
Takaoka had two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 (5-3) penalty shootout victory over FC Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Takaoka stopped two shots on the way to a road playoff win and series win over Dallas. The goalkeeper has had his best season in MLS throughout the season and looks set for his best playoffs run to this point. Takaoka is playing behind an elite defense and midfield, so he should have good chances in most matches.
