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.
Allows three in MLS Finl
Takaoka registered one save and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Inter Miami CF.
ANALYSIS
Takaoka had an unlucky outing in Saturday's final, conceding three goals with only one save against Miami. He finished another strong season with Vancouver, appearing 39 times, including the playoffs, recording 14 clean sheets (13 in the regular season), making 99 saves while allowing 45 goals. The goalkeeper is expected to sign a new contract with Vancouver, avoiding a 2025 free agency.
