VMP Final Countdown: Number 4 – Justin Morrow
Highest Ranking: 2 Lowest Ranking: 7 Average Ranking: 4.21 Tony: 2. Since his arrival, you could justifiably argue that Justin Morrow has been the most consistent player on Toronto FC. 2015 proved no different. While much of the TFC defence is fairly tarred and feathered for yet another year of being “The Gateway to Goals Against”, Morrow deservedly avoids the same fate. When you consider that Morrow was constantly played...
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. The main way was with Canada where he all of a sudden found himself on the outs with Benito Floro, left out of all the squads towards the end of the year with players like Kyle Bekker ahead of him. Kyle Bekker! At least his TFC...
VMP Final Countdown: Number 6 – Jozy Altidore
Highest Ranking: 2 Lowest Ranking: 13 Average Ranking: 6.11 Tony: 6. He’s the bigger, bloodier deal. Apparently.

Hmmm… not quite. Not terrible… but not quite. And that’s the rub really. At his price,...
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...
