The former Blackburn Rovers defender has enough experience in Europe to be a contributor in Toronto’s defensive line. The backline will be the team’s weak link and Orr’s presence should be enough to solidify things in the right flank.

A long-time MLS journeyman, Dwayne De Rosario is a talented attacking midfielder whose playing style could be very useful for the franchise. He’s the perfect player to link up things between defense and attack and he’s also experienced enough to be a force in the dressing room as there will be several players who will live their first experience in the MLS.

The former Inter Milan star is coming off two non-productive years with QPR, but he is still the starting keeper of the Brazilian National Team, so he’s expected to shine at the MLS level. He’s talented enough to make an impact between the posts and Toronto FC will call him early and often to strengthen things up on the defensive side of the ball.

The former Tottenham Hotspur – and England – striker arrives at the MLS with rhythm after playing often for the Spurs this season and he will instantly become the team’s most dangerous player upfront. As such, he’s expected to carry an offense that was virtually non-existent last year in a role where his experience and talent will be key for the future of the franchise.

Coming from AS Roma to Toronto FC was not an easy decision for Michael Bradley, and he arrived to the Canadian franchise looking to become the heart and soul of the team. The fans and the management also expect him to fulfill that role while also being a key player on the pitch; so the expectations make Bradley the most decisive player for Toronto FC this upcoming season.
