After the U.S. international went down with an Achilles injury last season, the Atlanta United defense was left in complete disarray. They conceded 54 goals last season, more than all but eight other MLS teams, and Robinson's absence was felt. He has plenty to prove coming off a major injury, but if he returns to his former level, Robinson is one o...
There are few more versatile players in MLS than Sebastian Driussi, who passes like a midfielder, scores like a forward, and dribbles like a winger. After collecting 22 regular season goals and three more in the playoffs, Driussi is primed for another season carrying the high-flying Austin FC attack. He's as good a player as there is in the league,...
Charlotte FC are not a team of stars, and are not yet ready to compete at the top of the Eastern Conference, but they have some quality pieces. They have a deep goalkeeping room, a promising new arrival in Enzo Copetti, a promising young midfielder in Ben Bender, and a top developmental prospect in 20-year-old Hamady Diop. Yet nobody really shines ...
This Chicago Fire team has a long way to go, but they have one of the most versatile players in the league in Xherdan Shaqiri. A man with Champions League pedigree in his career, Shaqiri did his best to carry an otherwise lacking Chicago roster last season, and while he ultimately couldn't push them to a playoff challenge, he remains the clear top ...
The 24-year-old made his mark on the U.S. National Team in January camp, and now he's ready to push for an MLS goalscoring title. FC Cincinnati's rapid rise to prominence last season wasn't down to just Vazquez, as they made significant improvements in key areas like the back line and goalkeeping departments, but Vazquez is the most important singl...
In truth, this Colorado Rapids squad needs a lot of work. Cole Bassett, 21, was supposed to gain valuable minutes in the Netherlands on loan but fell short of earning a place with Fortuna Sittard. Kevin Cabral is a Galaxy castoff who arrives with lots to prove, while Jack Price has had to shoulder lots of progressive responsibilities, doing his bes...
Cucho joined Columbus in the summer of 2022, and in 16 games he completely changed the club's fortunes. The Colombian scored eight goals in his first eight games in the league, finishing with nine in 16 matches. After he arrived, the Crew lost just three games the rest of the regular season, and while it just wasn't enough to reach a playoff spot, ...
This FC Dallas team is talented, with Alan Velasco, Sebastian Lletget, and Paxton Pomykal, plus a number of quality role players. Yet nobody is more talented or more important to this side than Jesus Ferreira, who will be expected to take his 18-goal haul from last season and improve up on it this year. Ferreira may be headed to Europe sooner rathe...
This D.C. United squad is still a work in progress, and as the likes of Christian Benteke and Ravel Morrison have yet to prove they still have anything left in the tank, Greek international Taxi Fountas has taken the reigns up front. With 10 goals last season, Fountas gave D.C. a somewhat dangerous presence up front, and when he wasn't in the lineu...
The Houston Dynamo midfield shouldbe good, but it's hard to make up for all the deficiencies elsewhere on the roster. Hector Herrera arrived from Atletico Madrid last summer, but he failed to make an impact, and his performances for both club and country indicate he may be on his last legs. That leaves Adalberto Carrasquilla as the midfield lynchpi...
- Kyle Bonn
- Aidan Morris. Aidan Morris showed his class as he scored two goals in the Columbus Crew’s 4-0 vs. Real Salt Lake. The Fort Lauderdale native demonstrated that he’s one of the top young players in his position.
- Hany Mukhtar. Hany Mukhtar is back to MVP levels for Nashville SC, as his one-goal and one-assist performance saw them beat Eastern Conference rivals Orlando City.
- Ali Ahmed. Ali Ahmed is a surprising name on this list. The 22-year-old had a standout against CF Montreal and the Vancouver Whitecaps went on to beat them 5-0.
- Nicolas Lodeiro. Nicolas Lodeiro is the engine that makes the Seattle Sounders tick. With Jordan Morris leading the league with seven goals, it’s only natural that he would be able to achieve those levels with a playmaker like Lodeiro behind him.
