VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 22 – Ashtone Morgan
Highest: 1 Lowest: 25 Average ranking: 20.86 Duncan: 23 – Ah Ashtone Morgan. I want him to play and do well and be good, I really do, and you’d think wingback in a 5-3-2 would be ideal for his strength (singular, it’s not defence particularly, and it wouldn’t be as a midfielder, but as the…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 23 – Jason Hernandez
Highest: 19 Lowest: 25 Average ranking: 22.05 Mark: 23 – The TL;DR is “he did what was expected of him”. When Hernandez arrived in the very early season, he was signed as a free agent after a two-season spell at NYCFC, with the role of journeyman substitute defender, firmly his for the taking. He knew he…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 24 – Tsubasa Endoh
Highest: 17 Lowest: 27 Average ranking: 23.33 Tony: 24 – 2017 seemed like a step backwards for the affable Japanese forward. His limited playing time in 2016 became more so, Perhaps it was TFC’s depth or perhaps we’ve seen his peak. The Endoh is nigh. It’s hard not to have a soft spot for Tsubasa Endoh.…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 25 – Oyvind Alseth
Highest: 21 Lowest: 26 Average ranking: 24.71 Tony: 26 – One of the Too 10 Norwegians in TFC history. Fact. There really is no fun (nor interest) in an in-depth review of Oyvind Alseth. It was so exciting to finally have a Norweege on TFC but then, much like a Norwegian comedy club, applause was very…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 26 – Ben Spencer
Highest: 22 Lowest: 27 Average ranking: 24.95 Kristin: 25 – Big Ben Spencer! Damn it Ben, we had a song for when you scored, and it was a good song! And now you’ll never hear it. But it was good. Honest. Spencer was signed to Toronto FC back in May after having joined TFC II…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 27 – Mitchell Taintor
Happy New Year! Resolutions firmly in place and raring to start the whole ‘new year, new you’ thing? Excellent. We here at the Vocal Minority aren’t big on resolutions, but we do have an entirely new set of player rankings for you to enjoy over the next few weeks – you know while you’re at…
