Carlos Vela has been named an All-Star on a consistent basis this season to further highlight his status as one of the best players in the MLS. His form has propelled LAFC to the top of the Western Conference in the MLS this year. The Mexican player has 11 goals and 12 assists for LAFC in the MLS this year. He has scored three times in the last two games on the Major League Soccer (MLS) scene. Also, he has the most assists in his team.
On the list of top-selling adidas jerseys, a record-setting 15 clubs are represented with Austrian star Christian Fuchs of Charlotte FC sandwiched between the LAFC duo of Bale and Vela in second place thereby completing the top three.
