Other lineups notables: Has Pineda jumped Friberg on the depth chart? And how will Seattle defend with Valdez and Ivanschitz on wings?by Matt Pentz via twitter 9/27/2015 8:04:44 PM

Torres is out for the season. Marshall played 90 at midweek. And Valdez has played wide plenty in the past. twitter.com/JohnnyThunder8…by Sounders Matchday via twitter 9/27/2015 8:05:04 PM

You're right. Best *attack in months. With Marshall out, the back line has been sturdier twitter.com/csanchezwsu/st…by Matt Pentz via twitter 9/27/2015 8:06:00 PM

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that SKC midfield has 21 combined matches this season.by Sounders Matchday via twitter 9/27/2015 8:10:40 PM
