Team of the week:

Rimando

Williams, Beltran, Besler, John

Jewsbury, Shea, Mapp, Jeferson

Espindola, Wondolowski

Subs: Mondragon, Franklin, Chavez, Perlaza

Captains:

Jewsbury – Portland have lost their form at home, but a visit from a new-look Toronto might help them find it again. Jewsbury is at the heart of all good things attacking for Portland.

Rimando – Salt Lake host a Columbus team that isn’t very adventurous on attack. Rimando has one of the highest points per game out of any player.

Williams – One of the players with a higher PPG than Rimando. Not only does he benefit from a solid defensive unit, but he gets forward on the wing quite a bit.

John – Dallas has had one of the most stable defenses in the league this season and John is a big body on attacking set pieces.

Beltran – Similar reasoning to Rimando, but Beltran simply trades save points in for the odd assist.
