NEW FACES IN LA: The Galaxy were busy during the Summer Transfer Window, shipping out Designated Player Pec to Brazil’s Cruzeiro for a club-record fee, as well as defender Miki Yamane to Japan’s Urawa Red Diamonds and midfielder Edwin Cerrilo to Mexico’s Club América. LA then brought in Japanese international forward Kyōgo Furuhashi, Mexican international Chucky Lozano from SoCal rival San Diego FC and former Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto.
ATTACKING IMPETUS: Galaxy Head Coach Greg Vanney will hope his new reinforcements can help improve an LA attack that has produced just 30 goals in 2026, tied for the sixth fewest in MLS.
GOALKEEPER BATTLE: LA goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski has had an incredible resurgence in 2026 and is playing like one of the best goalkeepers in the league. He’s tied with Thomas for the third-best Goals-Expected Goals mark of -7.20.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Sergi Robert, M
The former Spanish international fit right in last weekend, going 57 minutes in his first Galaxy start. The 34-year-old provides a level of composure and dynamism in the midfield that the Galaxy have lacked since Riqui Puig went down with a long-term injury in 2024.
