2. Erick “Cubo” Torres – Houston Dynamo– Last Week: 1st

Torres finally didn’t score a goal.  After scoring seven through the first seven games of the season Toronto FC stymied the Mexican International.  He’ll be looking to get back on the scoresheet this weekend, but Dynamo fans are hoping it’s a one game thing and Torres finds the back of the net once again.

1. Cyle Larin – Orlando City SC – Last Week: 2nd

Larin has been a revelation this season and sits tied for second in goals with six on the season.  He didn’t find the scoresheet in Orlando’s 2-0 win over the Colorado Rapids on the weekend, and he will be looking to make amends in his hometown when Orlando takes on Toronto FC tonight.  He’s got the size and skill to be the best in the world and he’s starting to show signs of why Orlando drafted him.
