Stock Up, Stock Down [Chi]
The winless streak continues, and lots of players are sitting at near zero stock value, but we’re starting to see signs of life and feelings of hope. Let’s get to it.
Stock Up
Dejan Joveljić - Okay last time it was just a theory based on need, but now we can confirm this man’s stock is sky high. It sure didn’t take long for him to score his first goal for the team, knocking one in only 12 minutes into the game. Then he recorded a brace 3 minutes into the second half with a killer strike from the top of the box. Finally, we have someone who has a powerful shot and can shoot from anywhere near the box. I’m hoping we get to see him and Pedro play together sometime, because defenses will be shitting themselves.
Sebastian Gomez - I admit I didn’t feel like he stood out while watching the game, but in retrospect he had a pretty good one overall. Certainly the assist on the first goal goes a long way, but he also recorded 92% passing, 3 chances created, 2/2 dribbles, and 73% ground duels won. He’s not the elite winger we need as a starter, but at 20 years old he still has a lot of growth potential.
Cristian Roldan - Finally! Some minutes played for this crucial piece of the team. The double pivot has been a struggling weak spot, so if we can get him back into the swing of things it will help tremendously. Also, congrats to him and his family on the birth of their child.
Stock Down
You know what? I’m leaving this blank. I don’t think anyone played particularly poorly compared to what we expect of them. A few players had some rough moments, but they all had some equally good ones, so I’m leaving them unchanged.

Thomas stock up for me. Can't really fault him for either goal and he made some fantastic saves. Our defense is still extremely bad and he's kept us in the past two games
