Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez: LA Galaxy, Striker, 78 rated: Underrated

There are few players among North American soccer discussions that get as much attention as Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez, and perhaps unfortunately much of that attention comes in the form of criticism.

Being somewhat productive at West Ham United, his move to Sevilla saw a dip on that front. The Mexican National Team set up seems to have found their answers for when Hernandez is either unavailable or ineffective with players such as 80-rated Raul Jimenez (Wolves) and 82-rated Hirving Lozano (Napoli) shouldering heavier loads. There are also the huge Zlatan-sized shoes to fill at the LA Galaxy.

Nevertheless, despite the factors, Hernandez should be two or three marks clear of the 77-rated crew of Bradley Wright-Phillips (LAFC), Brian Fernandez (Timbers), and Gustavo Bou (NE Revolution). Hernandez should be 79 rated.
