4. Dom Dwyer – Sporting Kansas City

Dwyer is one of those forward you hate to defend against. He’s good in front of goal and keeps defenders guessing. He holds the Sporting Kansas City record for goals in a single season with 22.

He has amassed a total of 52 goals in 113 appearances, which is a 0.46 goals per game ratio. Kansas City should be contending this year, so look for Dwyer to be battling it out for the golden boot at seasons end. Dwyer ends up with 18 goals by the end of the season.
