The Ultimate Assist Master Carlos Valderrama Earns a Spot in All-Time Best XI

Carlos Valderrama is arguably the greatest passer in MLS history, and he's also one of the most iconic players in league history. Both facts combined made him an easy selection for Rapids fans to place 'El Pibe' in the All-Time Best XI.

Valderrama is currently MLS fourth all-time in assists with nearly half the number of games played of the top three (Landon Donovan, Steve Ralston and Brad Davis). While his stint with the Rapids was brief, he played just 39 games, he tallied 19 assists. Those numbers put him in the top-10 in team history, and, most importantly, he still holds the record for the most assists in a single season by a Rapids player with 16.
