Top Indoor Soccer Players 2022-23 MASL Season

Franck Tayou, with his remarkable scoring skills, is topping the charts as the best player of the current indoor soccer season. But there are other just as worthy of mention. We have chosen to list 5 of our favorite stars of the current season, but this list is far, far from being exhaustive. Read on to see if you agree with our choice of the best players in the ongoing MASL season.

We have purposely kept our focus on the version of indoor soccer popular in the USA, and for this reason, many excellent futsal players have not made the list. (You can read this article for more information about the difference between Indoor soccer and futsal).

Franck Tayou (Leading stats)

Leading the MASL scoreboards is Franck Tayou, with 38 points and 28 goals. Tayou has been representing the Empire Strykers this season, playing his usual forward position.

Frank Tayou was born in Cameroon on April 16th, 1990. He is known for his excellent striker skills. His indoor soccer career started in 2012, and he has played both indoor and regular soccer over the years since. His indoor soccer career really took off in the mid 2010s when Tayou established himself as one of the most dominant players in the game. 

Tayou’s career stats are nothing short of remarkable, with 363 goals in 173 games and 999 shots. His goal-scoring prowess has earned him the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award no less than 4 times in the MASL. 

Tayou has been a part of the MASL winning teams in the 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, and 2019-20 seasons, and the runner ups in 2018-19.

His current season points (38) and season goals (28) speak volumes of his impressive skills on the pitch, cementing his position as one of the top forwards in the game.

Aside from his on-field exploits, Tayou is known for his humanitarian efforts for orphans for which he was also awarded the Ed Tepper Humanitarian of the Year Award in 2018-19 specifically his work with orphans. 

As the new season progresses, we are eagerly looking forward to more spectacular performances from Frank Tayou, our favorite indoor soccer player. You can learn more about his career by reading his Wikipedia page.
