Goal.com's MLS Team Of The Week: Round 10

Goalkeeper:

Josh Wicks (D.C. United): The LA Galaxy flop narrowly edged out Kasey Keller, Kevin Hartman, Ray Burse, and Jon Busch for the starting spot. Back in the lineup for D.C., he pulled off the most impressive saves of the week to earn a point in United's 0-0 draw with RSL.

Defense:

Robbie Russell (Real Salt Lake): The Lakers turned to a new formula to earn their first road point: a frugal defense. At the heart of it was the versatile and uncompromising Russell.

Bakary Soumare (Chicago Fire): In all the right places to shut down a dangerous New York attack, stepping up when needed and pulling off last-ditch tackles to earn a clean sheet for the undefeated Fire.

James Riley (Seattle Sounders FC): Back in the lineup after injury, Riley added two assists in Seattle's draw with Dallas.

Mariano Trujillo (Chivas USA): Dominated the tiny KC pitch with tight marking and impressive offensive output. Got Josh Wolff sent off to kill the Wizards' hopes in the game.

Midfield:

Brad Davis (Houston Dynamo): All three Houston goals came from Davis free kick deliveries in the handy win over San Jose. Continues to impress creatively on the flank.

Amado Guevara (Toronto FC): With the TFC strikers misfiring, someone has to step up. Against New England, that someone was Guevara, as the Honduran notched two goals in an impressive victory.

Logan Pause (Chicago Fire): An essential cog in the midfield for Chicago this season, he helped stem the tide of New York attacks and came up with a crucial assist to the game's only goal.

Macoumba Kandji (New York Red Bulls): Moved back into the midfield, Kandji did all but score. Half a dozen of his services should have been finished by the wasteful Bulls attack. Showed markedly improved vision in some of his impressive distribution.

Attack:

Danny Dichio (Toronto FC): The starting two TFC strikers can't seem to finish, so the Canadians once again turned to Dichio. The 34-year-old played a part in all three goals and the Revs couldn't deal with his size all game.

Fredy Montero (Seattle Sounders FC): It's no surprise that Montero notched a goal and an assist in the extra space the absence of Freddie Ljungberg afforded him. Rewarded for recent performances by a callup to the Colombian national team.


Bench:

Jon Busch (Chicago Fire), Kasey Keller (Seattle Sounders FC), Jimmy Conrad (Kansas City Wizards), Paulo Nagamura (Chivas USA), Chris Tierny (New England Revolution), Eddie Lewis (Los Angeles Galaxy), Eduardo Lillingston (Chivas USA)
