Scorers have their names on the scoresheet, but the players who help create chances out of nothing pull a lot of weight on the pitch.
Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris (LAFC), defender Mateo Chávez (Chivas), midfielder Mateo Garcia (Atlas) and midfielder Mo Farsi (Columbus Crew) are all up for best assist of 2024.

Colorado goalkeeper Zack Steffen has knee surgery, expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks
Associated Press COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Colorado Rapids goalkeeper Zack Steffen had surgery on his right knee on Tuesday and the team said he is expected to be sidelined for four-to-six weeks. Steffen was injured during training with the U.S. national team in Chicago on Wednesday, causing him to miss the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The Rapids said the operation was on his right medial meniscus. Steffen lost an opportunity to perhaps regain the U.S. starting spot. The 30-year-old started six of 14 World Cup qualifiers ahead of the 2022 tournament, including the last three, then was left off the World Cup roster by then-coach Gregg Berhalter. Steffen played his first national team match in nearly three years in a January friendly against Costa Rica and coach Mauricio Pochettino said last month that Matt Turner, the starter since 2022, was not assured of being his No. 1 choice for the Gold Cup. Turner didn't play for Crystal Palace after March 1. Matt Freese made his national debut in goal during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Turkey. ___ AP soccer: in this topic
