FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Several different players have played key roles as the New England Revolution have raced out to their best start since 2009, taking seven points from their first three games. Goal scorers Adam Buksa and Gustavo Bou earned plaudits following the season opener in Chicago. Wilfrid Kaptoum, Christian Mafla, and Arnór Traustason garnered praise as they earned debut starts in the home-opening win over D.C. United. Carles Gil displayed his MVP credentials in last weekend’s win over Atlanta.
Perhaps the most consistent performer, however, has been central midfielder Matt Polster, one of five field players to have played all 270 minutes.
