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…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 10 – Jonathan Osorio
Highest: 6 Lowest: 13 Average ranking: 10.72 Duncan: 13 – 2016 was an alright year for Osorio, without being the big leap forward we might have hoped for, could that happen in 2017? Not really no. He started the season in the first team, but was in and out as Vanney tried to figure out…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 11 – Steven Beitashour
Highest: 7 Lowest: 20 Average ranking: 10.8 Mark: 11 – He is the right back we wanted and the right back we deserved. Or was he a winger? He played like a winger. He was, arguably, the right sided version of Justin Morrow. Well, was. He’s left us for a better place. Weather-wise, anyways. Steven…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 12 – Eriq Zavaleta
Highest: 4 Lowest: 18 Average ranking: 12.6 Tony: 11 – It’s not Eriq’s fault who he’s related to! Despite that – he has turned into a very useful MLS defender capable of eating minutes as a starter or offering fresh legs from the bench. Not spectacular in any way, but rarely hurts you either. We crack…

After last week’s momentous news, Mark had to rest his hamstring so is SuperMissing for this SuperEpisode. Tony? well, we’ll let you know when he can make one. Kristin and Duncan bravely soldier on though, helped out by SuperSub Duane Rollins. Nothing big to talk about this week, so instead we talk about a bunch…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 13 – Tosaint Ricketts
Highest: 9 Lowest: 19 Average ranking: 12.92 Kristin: 11 – Tosaint Ricketts! Fucking Wicked! I’m a big fan of Ricketts and as I wrote last year, was thrilled when he was signed by Toronto FC last year. His super sub status propelled him into the top 10 of our countdown and there were high hopes…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 15 – Nick Hagglund
Highest: 10 Latest: 20 Average ranking: 14.39 Mark: 15 – Ahh, the Slammin’ Salmon. Everyone’s favourite forward/defender. Or is he a defender/forward. Either way, he’s a top guy, who’s had a rough year. The 25 year-old had started the season off strong, making an appearance in every match until the 3-2 win over Minnesota, which…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 16 – Benoît Cheyrou
Highest: 10 Lowest: 20 Average ranking: 15.96 Mark: 18 – I feel like this is a bit of a eulogy. Benoit Cheyrou became iconic. He wasn’t here for very long, but his contributions and class were hard to ignore. He came on against Montreal in the semi-finals and ‘saved us all’. And he did. What…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 17 – Raheem Edwards
Highest: 9 Lowest: 21 Average ranking: 16.04 Duncan: 12 – 2016 saw Edwards barely play, but look really good when he did, so I was thrilled when he started getting minutes early in this season, and then, mainly due to injuries forcing Justin Morrow out of the left back position, continue to get minutes for…
