TFC fans, start your (off-season) engines as the Toronto FC front office starts the process of assembling next season’s team.

VMP Final Countdown: Number 17 – Robbie Findley
Highest Ranking: 10 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average Ranking: 17.01 Kristin: 14. *Just no. The invisible man, the player we had to have, one of the most polarizing players we’ve ever had. For the fuss and the price tag? Very expensive invisible man.* How did I ever rank him this high? That mushy middle really got away from me didn’t it? Possibly the most polorizing player on Toronto FC last season – well non-DP anyway...
VMP Final Countdown: Number 20- Dan Lovitz
Highest Ranking 11 Lowest ranking 26 Average Ranking 20.84 Kristin: 25. *Who? No amount of individual ‘look at me!’ warming up from the subs bench (when he was a sub) could get him minutes this year.* Dan Lovitz; man of mystery. Seriously, he made little impression (although barely playing will do that) this past year. After a decent 2014 season that saw most of us pleasantly surprised by his abilities on the wing; he...
VMP Final Countdown. Number 21 – Steven Caldwell
Highest Ranking: 15 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average Ranking: 20.84 Kristin: 20 *Not his fault in the end as the brass failed to realize his limitations for the year. Last proper leader on the backline we’ve had and while we won’t miss the ‘oh dear gods make him stop waving his arms!’, miss the leadership.* Oh captain our (former) captain. It never was going to happen for you this year was it? It all...
VMP Final Countdown. Number 23 – Nick Hagglund
Highest Ranking 11 Lowest ranking 27 Average Ranking 20.89 Kristin: 24. *My initial comment on the ranking was: ‘He’s never going to score a goal with these types of minutes. Never good enough to play much even with the backline desperation all season – not even when finally 100% healthy’, but as Nick is on my slate of players I’ll expand a bit.* Really it’s all Jozy Altidore’s fault. If Nick Hagglund...
