Players to watch out for:

Denis Bouanga (LAFC) 

Denis Bouanga is one of the best left-wingers in Major League Soccer. With 14 goals, he’s LAFC’s top goalscorer right now. Denis is a relentless runner who attacks the opposition without a break and also makes a massive contribution on the defensive front.

His positioning is another valuable asset, making him an influential figure on his team’s front line.

Anders Dreyer (San Diego FC)

The Danish international joined San Diego on 31st January 2025 for 5.5 million Euros and took MLS by storm. With 13 goals, Anders is also the leading goalscorer for his team. His playmaking ability is second to none, which improves the players around him.

However, his long-range shooting is arguably his most lethal weapon. He is a key reason behind San Diego’s successful campaign so far.
