This week's selection was particularly difficult as the 7-4 thriller between Tampa Bay and San Antonio in the NASL Fall kick off featured four or five players alone that had worth performances on the offensive end of the pitch.

Put the Battery up by two on two occasions as they ended Richmond's unbeaten campaign 5-2.

Scored the opening goal in a 2-1 victory against Charleston and posted the lone goal in a 1-0 victory at Dayton.
Lucky Mkosana - Harrisburg City Islanders (2)
Scored the game-winner in a 3-1 win at Phoenix and scored the opener in a 2-2 draw in Los Angeles.
