Time for everyone’s favourite end of season exercise! That’s right, it’s time for the VMP Final Countdown, when we rank every Toronto FC player that set foot on the pitch across all competitions. It doesn’t matter how long they played, or what they did once they were in there game – if they played, they…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 1 – Victor Vazquez
Highest: 1 Lowest: 5 Average ranking: 2.08 Kristin: 1 – As I say pretty much every time we watch him play; he plays in the Matrix. That’s the only (not really) explanation for his ability to see two, three steps ahead of everyone else, send in those delicious passes and bend the game to his…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 2 – Michael Bradley
Highest: 1 Lowest: 8 Average ranking: 2.52 (*Editor’s note: Bradley & Altidore were tied for average ranking score, but Bradley had more Number 1 votes, therefore he’s in second*) Duncan: 3 Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. What to say about Michael Bradley. I really shouldn’t have let myself get stuck with writing this one as it should be full…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 3 – Jozy Altidore
Highest: 1 Lowest: 5 Average ranking: 2.52 Kristin: 3 – Best. Speech. Everrrrrr. What a way to finish the season! I know that the season finished two days before that, with that thrilling goal that encapsulates Jozy Altidore’s season; a moment where any doubt in fans’ minds about Jozy’s abilities to score, to be a…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 4 – Sebastian Giovinco
Highest: 2 Lowest: 11 Average ranking: 4.12 Mark: 4 – I said on the podcast once that if there’s a single player that I would start any club over with, it’s Sebastian Giovinco. And technically, or statistically he’s not even the highest rated player on the club, but I stand by it. Seba didn’t have the…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 5 – Alex Bono
Highest: 2 Lowest: 8 Average ranking: 5.4 Kristin: 7 – Damn you Bones, you had to go and be good didn’t you? That may seem like an odd sentiment, but if you follow me or listen to the show then you know of my fondness for Clint Irwin (and yes for Q but I gave…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 6 – Justin Morrow
Highest: 4 Lowest: 10 Average ranking: 6.24 Kristin: 6 – Justin Morrow had a really good year. I know that I’m perceived as biased, but it’s hard to look at that season and not say great things about Morrow (I’m looking at you low rankers). Building off a very good 2016 season, Morrow put that…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 7 – Drew Moor
Highest: 5 Lowest: 14 Average ranking: 9.12 Duncan: 11 – Bit of a rough year for Drew. Finding out about heart issues can’t be a fun time, and when he got back from that, he never quite looked as good as he did before. Looked just a bit slow which left him having to make last…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 8 – Chris Mavinga
Highest: 2 Lowest: 13 Average ranking: 9.32 Tony: 7 – If it wasn’t for Victor Vazquez – Chris Mavinga would have been the hands-down signing of the season. Sure Mavinga looked a bit like a giraffe on ice for the first few matches but after the early struggles he found his way. And how. The big…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 9 – Marky Delgado
Highest: 6 Lowest: 14 Average ranking: 9.68 Tony: 10 – Entirely unspectacular – and that’s ok! Once you stop looking for Delgado to be another Vazquez or Cheyrou, you can appreciate that he does plenty of basic things quietly right. A less fiery (again, ok) version of Osorio, Delgado comes in to steady that area of…
