With some of our contributors putting out articles about three things to watch this season or a player to watch this season, I figured I’d adapt that idea a little bit and instead focus on three players to watch this season for Toronto FC.

This season is going to be a tough one for the Reds. They’ve made zero additions from outside the organization, hired a new manager, and will likely adjust their playing style in a major way. With a Champions League leg next week against potentially the toughest opponent they could get in Leon, international competitions being through the roof this year, and a condensed MLS schedule, they’re going to have to play a lot of games in a short period. Which, leads me to the most crucial part of the equation for Toronto, their players. So, let’s dive into three players to watch on TFC this season.
