Castrol Index Weekly Top 20: Columbus Crew's Aaron Schoenfeld breaks through in Week 32

The Columbus Crew beat the New York Red Bulls on the road 3-1 in one of the biggest results of the weekend, and the No. 1 player in the Castrol Index Weekly Top 20 comes from that game.


Crew forward Aaron Schoenfeld, who had two goals in the win, played his way to top billing for the week, according to the Castrol formula.


Behind the Crew's striker in Week 32 is a trio of goalkeepers who kept clean sheets, starting with RSL's Nick Rimando (No. 2) and Portland's Donovan Ricketts (No. 3), who played against each other, and Vancouver's David Ousted (No. 4), who was also involved in a scoreless goalkeeper's duel, against Jon Busch (No. 9). 


Another player who scored two goals, New England Revolution midfielder Lee Nguyen, rounds out the Top 5.
