Armchair Analyst's Breakdown

  1. Strength: Federico Bernardeschi was Best XI-caliber (when not picking up red cards) last year, and they have a direct connection to the glory days of the 2010s with new head coach Robin Fraser.
  2. Weakness: Just about everything else. The defense is old and slow, the midfield lacks creativity and the most expensive player on the team pretty famously does not want to be there. Good luck, Robin!

Key Departures

  • Shane O'Neill: The Irish-American center back’s contract option was declined after three seasons with Toronto.
  • Prince Owusu: The former German youth international’s contract option was declined after a season and a half with Toronto. He was acquired by Canadian Classique rivals Montréal, with Toronto getting $250,000 GAM for his Right of First Refusal.

Key Signings

  • Ola Brynhildsen: Brynhildsen is Toronto's new No. 9, arriving on a year-long loan from Danish Superliga side FC Midtjylland.
  • Theo Corbeanu: The Canadian international winger joins on loan from Spanish second-division side Granada CF. Corbeanu is a TFC academy product.
