Socceroos defender Brad Smith has been one of the MLS' best fullbacks this season, leading Seattle Sounders to 10 matches undefeated.
Smith scored three goals in May to spearhead the Sounders' current run of momentum, with Seattle currently top of the Western Conference with seven wins and three draws from 10 matches.
Smith had to leave the Socceroos World Cup qualifying squad early due to an injury, but has recovered quickly and been back as a regular performer for the undefeated Sounders.
The defender has already racked up 670 minutes this season, with many MLS fans making him their choice for the league's best left-back in recent months.
After an injury-hit run and some inconsistent displays last season, this campaign is already arguably his best at MLS level, in what's proving to be one of his most consistent seasons since he broke out at Liverpool all those years ago.
@FPL_Winger: In defense I just can't look past Brad Smith. He has been on a tear this season, only blanking once in 6 games. While Atlanta aren’t a bad team, Seattle to this point have been the best in the league both offensively and defensively. I have to go with their left back

BUILD-UP KEREN dari Seattle 🔥 Umpan-umpan dan kombinasi apik ditunjukkan oleh para pemain Sounders yang membuat LAFC kebingungan. Serangan cepat ini pun diselesaikan dengan apik oleh sundulan Brad Smith.
