Players to Know

All stats

The Golden Boot Threat

Lionel Messi

Inter Miami

Inter Miami's right winger leads this candidate list with 25 goals and 13 assists.

Why they matter

His 38 goal contributions are the biggest individual number in the league's attacking race. Inter Miami sit on 55 points with 15 wins, and he is the main reason they are near the top.

Watch for

He drifts in from the right to find space and finishes as well as he creates. Check whether he scores or sets up the goal at New York RB.

The Star

Hany Mukhtar

Nashville SC

Nashville's attacking midfielder has 16 goals from a creative role.

Why they matter

He is the central attacker in the league's most dominant side, which has 20 wins and a +41 goal difference. Midfielders rarely score this often.

Watch for

He arrives late in the box from between the lines. Watch how Montréal deal with his runs when Nashville visit on Oct 24.

The X-Factor

Petar Musa

Dallas

Dallas centre forward with 20 goals this season.

Why they matter

His 20 goals are the nearest figure to Messi's 25 among the pure strikers, and they have kept Dallas on 51 points in the playoff pack.

Watch for

He is a penalty-box finisher who lives on service from the flanks. See whether Dallas keep creating chances for him, and how often they convert.

The FutAve Watch

Heung-min Son

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC left winger with 12 assists.

Why they matter

His 12 assists show how much of LAFC's attack runs through his delivery. Alongside Denis Bouanga's 17 goals he is part of one of the league's most dangerous wide pairings.
