Columbus Crew SC has too few goal scorers
Columbus Crew SC has three players contributing the vast majority of goals this season. Fans know them well.
Forward Ola Kamara leads the team with 12 finishes. Justin Meram is just behind him with 10 and Federico Higuain has nine goals. Of the 37 goals Columbus has scored in 2017, 31 have been procured by this trio.
While the production numbers are fantastic for the attackers, there is a stark falloff when viewing goals from everyone else on the roster. Granted, attacking players should be contributing the lion's share to this aspect of the game, but it's certainly not uncommon for other, deeper positioned players, to get their own tallies.
