Valdez and Scott make starting XI against FC Dallas

Roman Torres didn't train on Saturday, due to a hamstring issue, and it was apparently bad enough for him to miss the Sounders' matchday squad against FC Dallas on Sunday. Flaco Fernandez, who limped off against Sporting KC, is also out with an injury and is replaced by Thursday's hero Nelson Valdez. According to the Sounders' official graphic, this put Morris in the left attacking midfield role, with Valdez up top. Cristian Roldan moved back to CM with Osvaldo Alonso, pushing Erik Friberg to the central attacking midfield role and sending Nicolas Lodeiro out wide.

So we *wanted* to see Roldan in the Starting XI twice, but apparently it's against the rules.
