For perhaps the first time in club history, the Houston Dynamo are dealing with a “good problem” in terms of how to dole out playing time on their forward line.
Every week, head coach Wilmer Cabrera must pick two or three starters out of the five-man group of Erick “Cubo” Torres, Alberth Elis, Romell Quioto, Mauro Manotas and Andrew Wenger. The group isn’t lacking for talent – the forwards have scored 14 of Houston’s 15 goals this season, with Torres leading MLS with seven strikes, Quioto and Elis tallying three each and Manotas scoring once.
