Ercan Kara
Age: 27
2022 Stats: 34 appearances, 12 goals, 3 assists

Kara's perception feels like it's at an all-time low, which is odd considering the Austrian international is coming off a 12-goal debut campaign in Orlando. His lack of mobility and difficult form at times last summer has led many in the national media to offload all their stock in Kara.

However, Kara could be primed for a major second season in MLS. The former Rapid Vienna star thrives off of service, and the team around him looks far more dynamic. With the bevy of talented wingers, all Kara needs to do is get in the box and finish. The Austrian can do that in spades.
