It was a relatively quiet week in MLS, with just seven teams in action in Week 28, but that didn't mean there weren't performances worthy of the Team of the Week presented by Audi.


The Portland Timbers and Sporting Kansas City, both victorious on Saturday, lead the way, with five Timbers players and three SKC men in the 18 for the week.


Audi Player Index Spotlight


This week's spotlight player is NYCFC forward David Villa, who scored the equalizer in a 1-1 draw against D.C. United on Saturday. Villa's shift earned him the Audi Player Index Performance of the Week, as he picked up 1,303 points, best in MLS.


In addition to the goal, Villa completed 60 percent of his crosses, notched two key passes and won three tackles in the Eastern Conference clash.
