1. Jesus Ferreira

FC Dallas’ top-scorer last season with eight in the MLS, Jesus Ferreira impressed in what was his first proper season in the first team.

He was carrying a lot of pressure last season to score goals as FC Dallas primary center-forward, but the 19-year-old showed great commitment and ability to deliver. He will be hoping to use his experience from last time out to have a much more prolific campaign in 2020.

Ferreira made his debut for the U.S. Men’s National Team against Costa Rica and could force his way into the national team ahead of the summer’s Olympics. He is a supremely talented footballer, but at such a young age, it is demanding to lead the line for a playoff-chasing side.

Nevertheless, FC Dallas will be relying on Ferreira for goals, while Ferreira will want to impress, domestically, internationally, and in Europe.
