San Jose Earthquakes forward and captain Chris Wondolowski gets a lot of notoriety for his ability to score – and for good reason. Only Landon Donovan has scored more career goals in MLS, and Wondo is hot on his heels.
But where Wondolowski doesn’t always get credit, especially this season, is his ability to create for others. He is one of just six players in all of Major League Soccer to tally 13+ goals and 8+ assists this season, alongside MVP candidates David Villa and Diego Valeri, David Accam, Romain Alessandrini and Hector Villalba.
Wondo’s eight assists in 2017 set a new career-high, eclipsing his high-water mark of seven back in the wonder year of 2012.
