1. Sebastian Giovinco – Toronto FC

The “Atomic Ant” has been scoring goals for fun the last two years. The 2015 golden boot winner has scored 39 times in 61 games. That’s a rate of 0.63 goals per game. Not only does he score goals, but he’s a playmaker.

Not many times do you see someone so gifted at creating chances for others who can also put the ball in the net. He was the 2015 MLS MVP after helping lead TFC to the playoffs for the first time ever, while in his first season. While he is small in stature he uses that to his advantage.  Seba winds up scoring 24 goals in a championship season for the Reds.
