My top three picks for the following…
MLS Players
Thierry Henry -While the Red Bulls are only 2-2, Henry has literally been a part of all the offense. Whether it is scoring them himself (5), getting an official assist (3), playing a key role in the build-up (1) or providing the pass that led to a penalty foul (1), he has played a factor in all 10 goals.
Joe Cannon – Three and a half games in goal and zero have gotten past the veteran netminder. The three complete shutouts matches his total from a year ago already, but more importantly, the shutouts have been critical for a club that has struggled at the other end of the pitch with only three goals scored.
Graham Zusi – Similar to Henry, Zusi has been involved in nearly off of the offense for the unbeaten Kansas City side. Through March, he scored one goal and had assists on four of the club’s five other goals for the month.
MLS Clubs
Sporting KC – Outscored the opposition in March 6-1 for a 3-0 record, defeating DC on the road and winning at home versus New England and Dallas.
Real Salt Lake – It was a good month with a 3-1 win road win against the Galaxy and a 3-2 win at Portland to go along with a 2-0 win at home versus New York. The only blemish was a surprising 1-0 loss at home to Chivas USA.
San Jose Earthquakes – If you are grading solely on defense, San Jose may be your club of choice. It allowed just one goal in March, falling to Houston in a narrow 1-0 decision. They blanked New England, Toronto and Seattle.
