Picking MLS Best XIs and winners for every major award
The time is now to choose winners for MLS’s 2018 awards. We take a close look at all of them, plus a pair of best XIs.
With one week remaining in the 2018 MLS season, it’s time to dish out some awards. We’ll look at the core awards, some made-up ones, and a couple of best XIs. Let’s go:
Most Valuable Player
Josef Martinez (Atlanta United)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (LA Galaxy)
Wayne Rooney (D.C. United)
Bradley Wright-Phillips (New York Red Bulls)
Carlos Vela (LAFC)
There is a compelling case that Zlatan should win MVP. I considered vaulting Ibra to the top of the rankings, despite Martinez blowing long-held league scoring records out of the water.
