Paul Arriola has finally signed for the Sounders! Or rather been traded either way he's a part of the RAVE Green now! So what teams is he best or worst against so we know what to expect from him as a Sounder? Which is why I went and found that out.
To start off the team he's scored the most against is a 6 way tie with 3 goals so I'll break it up by which clubs he's had the least appearances against. To start off with by far the most impressive record is Cincinnati FC as he's scored 3 goals against one of the MLS's newest clubs in only 4 games! And if that isn't impressive enough he also has 2 assists against them meaning that he averages more than a goal contribution a game against them. Meaning when we're playing against Cincinnati expect him to contribute something and to have a amazing game. Next is a 2 way tie for 2nd with 3 goals in 7 games is between Austin FC and the Vancouver Whitecaps but it's a tie Austin FC breaks as he has a single assist against the Texas club while he doesn't have any against Whitecaps. And the tie for 3rd place is a clean tie between Orlando City SC and the Montreal Impact with 3 goals and no assists in 8 games.
As for the MLS clubs he's scored the least against (minimum 5 games) we start off with a 3-way tie between the Houston Dynamo, Chicago Fire and Manchester City owned NYCFC with 6 appearances and no goals and assists against any of em. He also has 6 appearances and no goals against the Philadelphia Union but he has a assist against them so they get a dishonorable mention.
For the MLS teams Arriola has the most assists it's another tie to start us off. With Arriola having 4 assists against both LA Galaxy and the San Jose Earthquakes but the Galaxy wins due to Arriola scoring 2 goals against the Galaxy while he has none against the Earthquakes. With a tie between 7 clubs for the rest with 2 assists with the previously mentioned Cincinnati FC because of the 3 goals he scored against them. Next is a 3 way tie for the tiebreaker, try and keep up here. With him having 2 goals and 2 assists those clubs being the New England Revolution, Atlanta United and get this the Seattle Sounders so thank goodness we don't have to worry him anymore, huh?
As for the clubs he has the least assists against we start off the New York Red Bulls as in 11 games he's never had a assist against them but has had 2 goals. Next is a 3 way tie with 8 games which the Portland Timbers break with only allowing 1 goal from Arriola on top as no assists. With the other 2 clubs being the previously mentioned Orlando City SC and the Montreal Impact who while giving up 3 goals have never given up a assist against them though. Thanks a bunch for reading!
