While we’re close to the heart of the MLS season, I decided to look at some of the statistics developed at American Soccer Analysisto identify some of the key players in each team’s attack from midfield. Interestingly enough, two Galaxy midfielders top this list with Riqui Puig and Gaston Brugman. While the Galaxy are near the bottom of the league in points, goals scored, and goals against, most journalists cover the league would agree that they have possibly the best midfield three in the league, there’s just a very poor defense and attack surrounding these players. If I were a team looking for a creative midfielder, I think a great low-key signing would be Gaston Brugman (Toronto FC maybe?). Also, highlighted on this list is Hector Herrera which comes as no surprise given his international pedigree and Houston’s recent form.
