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? But hey, he was a right back and we certainly needed a right back, so why the hell not, worth a…

VMP Final Countdown: Number 12 – Ashtone Morgan
Highest Ranking: 6 Lowest Ranking: 25 Average Ranking: 12.79 Kristin: 10. *Nasty Left Back actually played! After being nailed to the bench the previous season, TFC’s defensive woes meant Morgan got to play. Saw some decent play – still has a future in the game.* I have a lot of time for Ashtone Morgan and…

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…

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…

VMP Final Countdown: Number 14 – Joe Bendik
Highest Ranking: 7 Lowest Ranking: 25 Average Ranking: 14.73 EDIT: All the below was written before the announcement that Bendik’s option wasn’t picked up. Not a surprise really, I imagine he’ll pass through the first round of the waiver draft unclaimed. After that he’s got a shot at getting a job somewhere for less. Best…

Ch-Ch-Changes! Toronto FC Release Konopka, Bendik, Jackson and Apparicio
And so it begins. After yesterday’s re-signing of Justin Morrow, Toronto FC wasted little time in releasing four players and exercising contract options to thirteen others. TFC made a somewhat surprising move in releasing both Chris Konopka and Joe Bendik – the two had shared starting duties this past season and it seemed likely that…

VMP Final Countdown: Number 15 – Eriq Zavaleta
Highest Ranking: 10 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average Ranking: 15.11 Duncan. 15 Chivas were a raging success, what could be better than signing a bunch of their former players? Zavaleta was technically a Seattle player when he was signed, a second round pick going to the Sounders, but had been on loan with Chivas for the…

VMP Final Countdown: Number 16 – Herculez Gomez
Highest Ranking: 8 Lowest Ranking: 22 Average Ranking: 15.11 Mark: 12 When Toronto FC made some deals to be the first in line to sign Herculez Gomez, there were more than a few eyebrows raised. Now out of favour in Mexico, Herculez re-entered the MLS fold and… ultimately found himself out of favour in Toronto. One…

Toronto FC Re-sign Justin Morrow To A Multi-Year Deal
TFC fans, start your (off-season) engines as the Toronto FC front office starts the process of assembling next season’s team. First – and very welcome – up is the absolutely great news that Justin Morrow has been re-signed to a multi-year deal. Morrow has been one of the bright spots over the past two years;…

VMP Final Countdown: Number 18 – Luke Moore
Highest Ranking: 14 Lowest Ranking: 24 Average Ranking: 18.63 Mark: 14. After last season being leaned on heavily to produce, he played mostly from the bench this season, seeing his appearances nearly halved. Low on the pecking order behind Robbie Findley (somehow, I know) with a better goals per minute ratio (1 every 625) than…
