VMP Final Countdown: Number 2 – Benoit Cheyrou
Highest Ranking: 2 Lowest Ranking: 9 Average Ranking: 3.11 Duncan: 3 Benoit Cheyrou was probably my favourite TFC player last year. Sure Giovinco was the more obviously flashy player, and with the goals and assists to back it up, Michael Bradley more all action and Justin Morrow more reliable, but Cheyrou was such a pleasure to watch. Smart and skillful, and given his age forced to rely on those attributes rather than any speed,...
He! Is! A right back! TFC reportedly sign Steven Beitashour.
With the waiver draft done and with the first stage of the Re-Entry Draft set to go this afternoon, TFC finally got into the off season swing of things, not with a draft, but a trade. Kristian Jack broke the news last night: Multiple sources have confirmed to me that Toronto FC have acquired right back Steven Beitashour from the Vancouver Whitecaps #tfc — Kristian Jack (@KristianJack) December 10, 2015 @KristianJack expect draft pick...
VMP Final Countdown: Number 5 – Jonathan Osorio
Highest Ranking: 2 Lowest Ranking: 16 Average Ranking: 5.05 Duncan: 6.It was another good year for Jonathan Osorio, though one where in various ways he didn’t quite seem to easily fit into things.

Kyle Bekker! At least his TFC...
VMP FInal Countdown: Number 7 – Chris Konopka
Highest Ranking: 1 Lowest ranking: 15 Average Ranking: 8.63 Duncan: 10. Ah, TFC. Can’t avoid a goalie controversy to save their lives. Bendik’s injury opened the door to Chris Konopka and what do you know, he came in and did alright, putting together a few good games, meaning when fit again Bendik didn’t get the job back and all of a sudden found himself on the other side of the ‘why pay this guy so much money...
VMP FInal Countdown: Number 8 – Marky Delgado
Highest Ranking: 5 Lowest ranking: 13 Average Ranking: 8.68 Duncan: 7 Delgado was one of the few players in the Chivas death draft who looked interesting and worth a flyer, so it was a bit of a surprise when other teams passed on him and he was still there for TFC to pick up. Despte the nonsense of a grown man still going by ‘Marky’, I’m happy they did. It took a while for him to get into the starting lineup, his...
