7.5. Having not found the scoresheet since mid-April, Agudelo is pressing for more minutes in what has been a competitive forward corps for the Revs. He hasn’t started since early May, and one can only assume his work-ethic hasn’t been good enough to change that since returning from injury. Hoepfully, Agudelo turns his season around to continue performing as a top-scoring forward the Revs have known him to be.. Striker. New England Revolution. JUAN AGUDELO

Striker. New England Revolution. TEAL BUNBURY. 9.0. One of the leading scorers in MLS this season, Bunbury’s 10 goals in 17 games leads the Revs. It’s been a redemption year for Teal, who came on late last season after struggling early. Bunbury has netted one-third of all Revolution goals in MLS play and has done so on just 23 shots on goal. He has no multi-goal games yet this season, but the Revs are 6-0-4 when Bunbury finds the twine. His influence offensively has allowed the Revs to be creative and gives them a trustworthy option up front which to provide service.

8.0. Nemeth has failed to make the impact many thought he would have upon joining the Revolution. Over the past four games, Nemeth has been a starter and recorded two assists along with three shot attempts. He has yet to get off the mark for scoring this season, but that could be very soon as Nemeth continues to be a major offensive contributor. He is yet another player New England hopes to get going soon.. RW/ST. New England Revolution. KRISZTIAN NEMETH

9.5. Easily the motor that runs the offense, Penilla has been a force since joining the Revs. Originally, Penilla was tabbed as a depth piece loanee looking to rediscover his offensive prowess. Boy, has he done that and more. Penilla continues to be an asset to the Revs up front, with eight goals and five assists this season. His passing is terrific and his speed allows the Revs to punish opponents on the counter or on odd-man chances. His career has been jumpstarted in MLS and the Revs will likely do everything in their power to keep him.. Left Wing. New England Revolution. CRISTIAN PENILLA

N/A. Brought on as a sub this season a few times, Wright has been a impactful presence on the field and one that sparks the offense late in games. He hasn’t seen too much playing time, but has grown as a player and is working toward more minutes in the second half of 2018.. Striker. New England Revolution. BRIAN WRIGHT
