Talking Tactics: The evolution of RSL playmakers

There has been a lot of discussion about Real Salt Lake finally finding the sweet spot in the 4-3-3 formation. RSL sits third in the Western Conference, as well as the league, on 23 points and one of the best points per match in MLS (1.77). The club also has a positive goal differential in their first 13 matches, something that has been absent the last couple of seasons. Something is different with the Claret-and-Cobalt this season.

For a long time, Javier Morales was the heart of the RSL attack. He was the one creating chances and linking the squad together.
