Discussion below the jump.
Henry's play has been declining for awhile now but his early pace keeps him at the top of the heap for now. Chris Wondolowski is looking like he will break Roy Lassiter's goal scoring record (27, 1996) and he could lead the standings soon if his pace holds. Chris Pontius has been impressive as well and efficient to boot. Pontius leads all scorers in MLS who have scored at least six goals with a scoring chance percentage of 28.13%. Only Gabriel Gomez has a higher percentage (35.7%) of guys who have scored five or more goals. Javier Morales remains in the top five by drawing 3.04 fouls per 90 minutes to go with his 0.49 points per 90. Landon Donovan checks in at No. 5 with 0.80 points per 90 and nearly two fouls drawn per 90. Fredy Montero is only scoring on 6.6% of his shots but has more than 0.50 points per 90 and draws almost three fouls per 90. Blas Perez (still injured) and Saer Sene have similar totals in points per 90 and scoring chance percentage but Perez draws slightly more fouls per 90. Arnaud has a respectable 0.33 points per 90 but he is third in MLS in fouls drawn per 90 (3.04). Lenhart causes a lot of fouls but also draws more than two fouls per 90 to go with 0.61 points per 90.
