Fire at Rapids



Where each club sits going in, with the rows either side. Points per game matters more than raw points this far into a season, the schedule is rarely even.
Who is unavailable, in each club’s own words to the league. A day-to-day designation still allows a start, so a name here is not always a scratch; an injured-list stint is. MLS Player Availability Report, updated through Matchday 22.
