Louisville City FC’s Chandler Hoffman

Voted the 2016 USL Midseason MVP, Chandler Hoffman continued to showcase his skills in the second half. An MLS and USL seasoned veteran at the age of 26, Hoffman has been great, taking over for last year’s Golden Boot winner and MVP, Matt Fondy, who departed Lou City for the NASL.

Hoffman’s scoring touch made sure the Louisville City attack didn’t fall off. They finished the second highest scoring team in the league behind NYRB2, and Hoffman finished with 14 goals.

Richmond Kickers’ Yudai Imura

Yudai Imura arrived in Richmond last year, after impressing the club in a three day pro combine tryout. Hailing from Musashino, Japan, Imura has brought high pressure, and non stop action to the Kickers midfield. He finished this season with 10 goals and three assists, both led the team.
