Zach Scott is captaining the type of lineup that is looking to rest the best Seattle Sounders players. While this is a US Open Cup quarterfinal it is clearly not the point of emphasis for Sigi Schmid and the team at this time. In total seven players have started an MLS game in 2016, but only Aaron Kovar has started a majority of possible MLS matches.
The side being fielded against the LA Galaxy includes 32 player-games started in 2016. The midfield is essentially an S2 midfield with Mathers-Sturgis-Farfan.
