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.
Easy clean sheet
Takaoka had no saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus FC Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Takaoka didn't face any shots as his playoffs got off to a perfect start with a clean sheet and a 1-0 lead in the series. The goalkeeper had a brilliant regular season and if the defense in front of him can keep playing this well there's no reason he won't have upside throughout the MLS Cup playoffs.
