Top MLS Under 21s

Major League Soccer is finally open for business on the transfer market. 

In the past MLS would keep a large percentage of the transfer fee as well as training and solidarity payments (which they would actually shave off the price for the buyer). It's only in the past couple of years that the league has opened up. It was a big transfer fee for Vancouver Whitecap Alphonso Davies in 2018 that opened a lot of eyes and changed Don Garber's approach. With this change, MLS is now making a concerted effort to put young players out front in hopes to hook a big club. 

Below is a list of MLS players under the age of 21 as rated by three different systems. 

1. Helltown Player Ratings
2. SofaScore
3. WhoScored

What I've done is simply taken the middle number of the three to sort these players.
