Ranking the best attacking trios in MLS
If this was a pure quality ranking, you know who would be at the top. The overall numbers reflect the recent arrivals of Toronto FC’s Italian internationals, but check the per 90 numbers. They’ve balled from the jump, and it’s only going to get better, even if Osorio’s long-term future is still up in the air.
You’ll notice neither No. 9, Jesus Jimenez nor Ayo Akinola, made the top three. Jimenez was flying to start the season, but cooled off in the summer months. Akinola is still trying to rediscover his 2020 form. If one of those guys can figure out how to take advantage of the space and chances the new DPs are generating, watch out.
