Carles Gil, the reigning MLS Most Valuable Player, signed a multi-year
contract with the Revs in May 2021. His consistency since arriving in MLS
in 2019 continues into his fourth season with the Revolution. Gil ranks
among the top five in several attacking categories after pacing the league
in many of these same areas during his MVP season:

While Gil is adept at finding the back of the net himself, his chance creation
for others is what sets him apart. Gil’s chance creation during the 2021 campaign was historic, as New England’s captain registered 130 chances created, the most in league history since Opta began tracking the statistic in 2011:

Since entering the league in 2019, and despite missing a nearly the entire
2020 season due to injury, Gil has still managed to collect five of the top 10
single-game totals for chances created in MLS, including the second-most
chances created in a single game since Opta began recording the stat in
2011 (12 – July 10, 2020 vs. MTL).
Gil holds the top six single-game totals for chances created in Revolution
history. Since Opta began tracking chances created as a statistic in 2011,
only two other Revolution players have registered at least eight in a single
game, while Gil has hit the mark six times.
