Wingers perhaps have the most fun on the soccer pitch and there's no doubt the world’s game is beautiful because of their versatile skills, expansive mindsets and electric performances that constantly raise the bar. MLS is known as being more physical than its international counterparts, and the role of winger has evolved accordingly in the 29-year history of the relatively young league. The 2010’s saw many teams opt for a 4-3-3 formation over the traditional 4-2-2, which led to the winger becoming responsible for not just goal chance creation, but also being a direct threat on goal.
They’ve also had to assist defensively, but for the sake of simplicity, looking at their goal contributions per match is suitable. Below is a look at some of the greatest to grace the world of MLS and ensure their place in the history of the clubs they dedicated themselves to.
