Who are the best players in the MLS, who are the players for MLS MVP Award this 2023? And who tops the MLS Players Power Rankings for the new season?

Last season was unforgettable for us, watching some brilliant scenes across the league. And most important, Valentín Castellanos lifted the MLS Golden Boot along with the MLS Cup trophy.

The MLS mix with a bit of European, African, North and South American blood gave us the feel we missed while watching the top European soccer leagues. Why should I bother about the quality of the European soccer scene over the MLS when what I’ve seen is the same product?

The 2022 MLS Cup final ended in a 3-3 and was decided on penalties, with Los Angeles FC taking the crown. We learned that the MLS players play a bit of entertaining soccer just as the European scene, even though the hype around it appears to be different.

But, in essence, Major League Soccer has got some of the best players in the world right now. Back in the days when it was most often referred to as a retirement league, it is now a hotbed of young talents in North America alongside the Liga MX.
