Reliable No. 1 in goal
Vargas has been named in Colombia's World Cup squad and is expected to be the starting goalkeeper throughout the tournament under coach Nestor Lorenzo.
Analysis: Vargas ends the season with Atlas in Liga MX having been a consistent presence between the posts, contributing 111 saves and nine clean sheets in 33 starts, bringing veteran experience and leadership to a Colombian squad with serious ambitions at the tournament. The keeper is one of the most experienced goalkeepers in the squad and his composure and shot-stopping ability make him a trusted figure for coach Lorenzo heading into what promises to be a competitive group stage.
Allows one in loss
Vargas made four saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Cruz Azul.
Analysis: Vargas was once again victim of a very leaky defensive line as they allowed Jose Paradela to leave multiple players behind before appearing in front of the goalkeeper to open the scoring just past the half-hour mark. The goalkeeper still made multiple interventions to keep his team alive but that wasn't enough when his teammates were unable to find the back of the net once again, the fifth time over the last eight games. With 111 saves, nine clean sheets and 52 goals allowed over 33 starts this season, the veteran is no longer that fantasy stud from his first two years at Atlas but still provides solid value from between the posts.
