While we’ve witnessed an uprising of young talent from a fierce Chivas side, Carlos Pena, only 26-years-old is a veteran voice for the club. Of course the likes of Isaac Brizuela and Javier Lopez have helped Chivas tremendously revive and once dead team, it’s Pena’s ability to be consistent that lands him on this list.

Pena’s ability to move the ball and find teammates has been a boost for Chivas with two assists, but it’s also his goal scoring ability netting 7 goals this season. As an attacking midfielder, Pena will be vital to Chivas’ success as the team that many think can make a run to the championship if they continue to play like they have in the past several weeks.
