Who's the best dribbler in MLS? What the 2021 data says

We love dribblers. Who doesn’t? The stepovers, the cutbacks and those nutmegs. It’s the stuff that gets fans out of their seats and makes for great gifs. It’s fun for everyone, except the victimized defender.

But who are the best dribblers in Major League Soccer?

According to data from Stats Perform with a minimum of 50 dribbles attempted, the leader by a good margin is CF Montréal's Victor Wanyama, who gets the most bang for his buck. He’s completed 39 of his 52 attempted dribbles – good for a league-leading success rate of 75%.

Chicago Fire FC midfielder Alvaro Medran comes in second place, completing 67.21% of his 61 attempted dribbles. He's followed closely by Carles Gil of the New England Revolution, who checks in with a 66.27% completion rate of his 83 dribbles.

No defender is more successful when dribbling than Kyle Duncan of the New York Red Bulls. The fullback is fourth in the league, completing 46 of his 72 dribbles for a 62.89% success rate.

Rounding out the top five is LAFC midfielder Eduard Atuesta, who has completed 62.32% of his 69 attempted dribbles. Meanwhile, nobody has completed more dribbles (71) or attempted more dribbles (136) than Minnesota United FC string-puller Emanuel Reynoso.
