VMP 2016 Final Countdown #8: Jonathan Osorio
Mark: 8 – One. Touch. Legend. Osorio had a mid-season epiphany that seemed to be documented by the Vocal Minority. Earlier on in the season, he had a habit of making several touches before attempting to shoot the ball. Sometimes, it was having to beat EVERYONE before attempting the shot. Others, it was needing to settle the ball before having a go. His confidence to “pull the trigger”, be it shoot or pass, was often...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #12: Nick Hagglund
Mark: 18 – Fell to obscurity and then fought back into the starting eleven right at the end of the season. They haven’t quite beat the forward out of him and I’m perfectly fine with that. Ah, Nick “The Salmon” Hagglund. The defender who thought he might be a forward, then had that beaten out of him, came back to solidify himself as a starter and then scored a header where he smashed his entire body through that to...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #16 – Marky Delgado
Mark: 13 – Inconsistent. Some games he looked great, others pedestrian. Is he going to be a starter? He is. No wait, he’s not, but he is.

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #26: Raheem Edwards
Mark: 26 – I will treasure all of his contributions this year. Six minutes. Raheem Edwards made his debut for Toronto FC in a Voyageurs Cup match against Vancouver, coming on for Osorio in the 86th minute in late June. He followed that performance by making his league debut in an 88th minute substitution coming on for Eriq Zavaleta. It’s probably more time than that, but for the purposes of the narrative, we’ll ignore extra...
