Andrés Cubas
The 2026 MLS All-Star has once again been instrumental to the ‘Caps success, regularly regarded as the best defensive midfielder in MLS. At the time of writing, Cubas leads MLS in tackles won as well as tackles per 90, and has recorded a career high five assists. He has started 28 of his 31 appearances across all competitions this season, while also playing every single minute for Paraguay at the FIFA Men's World Cup 2026 this summer. In addition, Cubas received his first MLS All-Star nod after returning from the tournament. VWFC have conceded 1 goal or less in 21 of the 25 matches when Cubas has been on the field (84%), recording 13 clean sheets and conceding only 19 total goals during the 25 matches he’s played (0.75 goals per game).

Édier Ocampo
In his third season with the 'Caps, Ocampo has enjoyed a breakout season by showcasing himself as one of the best fullbacks in MLS. Covering the right flank from endline-to-endline, Ocampo has turned heads by showcasing his pace and creativity, while hustling to make key defensive plays. Ocampo’s 11 assists across all competitions rank him top 10 in single-season assists across the ‘Caps MLS era. Adding two goals, with 36 starts in 39 appearances across all competitions, has caught the eye of the Colombian men’s national team, making his debut in October.

Yohei Takaoka
Takaoka has continued to impress with his smart shot-stopping and quality possession when helping the 'Caps play out of the back. His 12 MLS clean sheets have him among the league leaders, with 14 total clean sheets across all competitions, only two away from his 2025 total. With 49 career clean sheets for the ‘Caps, Takaoka is now only two away from tying Paul Dolan (51) for the all-time club record. In total, the 2025 MLS All-Star has made 36 starts this season across all competitions. His incredible passing as a goalkeeper has also led to his third career assist this season for the ‘Caps.

Brian White
White continues to be among the top strikers in MLS, recently becoming only the 17th player in league history to reach 100 career MLS goals. This season, White has a team-high 19 goals and 23 goal contributions in 36 starts and 41 appearances across all competitions. With 98 career goals for Whitecaps FC, he could also become the first player in Vancouver’s MLS era to reach the century mark for the club.
