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.
Keeps clean sheet in victory
Takaoka had two saves and allowed zero goals in Wednesday's 3-0 win against Houston Dynamo.
ANALYSIS
Takaoka posted his 10th clean sheet of the season, making two key saves, including a diving stop on Jack McGlynn in the 67th minute, to preserve Vancouver's 3-0 win. The goalie was particularly solid under the high ball and showed excellent command in his area, helping end a rough run. With 10 shutouts in 22 appearances, Takaoka leads the league and continues to anchor Vancouver's defense. This is a good development for Vancouver after conceding three goals in each of the last two games. Takaoka will look to secure another clean sheet against San Diego on Saturday.
