VMP FInal Countdown: Number 10 – Jackson
Highest Ranking: 5 Lowest ranking: 17 Average Ranking: 10.73 (Edit: Almost all of this was written before the decision to not pick up his option for next year) Tony: 10. If there exists the everyman in the “Joga Bonito” world of Brazilian football – it must be Jackson.

VMP Final Countdown: Number 11 – Josh Williams
Highest Ranking: 7 Lowest Ranking: 20 Average Ranking: 12.79 Duncan: 8 Was very underwhelmed when he signed, after all could a NYCFC reject really be any kind of improvement to even TFC’s weak defence?

So to watch the roller coaster that has been his career with TFC the...
VMP Final Countdown: Number 13 – Damien Perquis
Highest Ranking: 6 Lowest Ranking: 26 Average Ranking: 12.79 Tony: 9. Human. Loyal. Wildly unpredictable in the back. Brought in from Portugal via France by way of Poland, Damien Perquis was obviously purchased as the heir apparent for the “retiring” Steven Caldwell. The problem is, where Caldwell was poised leadership and veteran savvy at centreback, Perquis was often scattered, rash and surprisingly quick to temper....
Sebastian Giovinco Wins MLS MVP: Seba Does The Treble!
Seba wins! Surprising no one it was announced this morning that Toronto FC DP Sebatian Giovinco was the MLS MVP for 2015: Other than potentially going to Kei Kamara there was no one else even close in this race. Seba led the league with 22 goals, and 16 assists, named to the best XI for the year, team of the week and player of the week multiple times and so on.
