Richie Laryea - Creates four chances in 1-0 loss Laryea had two shots (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate), and four chances created in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Belgium.
Impact Laryea turned in a very impressive display on the flank and wreaked havoc on the Red Devils' back line by creating plenty of danger. The Maple Leafs also looked overall very solid defensively and that gives the defender some decent fantasy outlook versus the far more inept Croatia and Morocco.

Tomas Romero - Moving to Toronto Romero was selected by Toronto FC with the second pick in Stage 1 of the 2022 MLS Re-Entry Draft on Thursday, after LAFC declined his contract option for 2023.
Impact Romero was surplus to requirements as the third-choice goalkeeper behind Maxime Crepeau and John McCarthy as LAFC won both the Supporters' Shield and the MLS Cup in 2022. The 21-year-old has four clean sheets in 18 MLS appearances to his name from the 2021 campaign, and he has the chance to become a starter once again as he moves to Toronto, whose only other goalkeeper at the moment is Greg Ranjitsingh.

Jonathan Osorio - In World Cup roster Osorio made Canada's World Cup roster, it was announced Sunday.
Impact Osorio did enough in a pre-selection camp to earn his place and prove he'd recovered from a head injury. With nine goals and four assists over 23 appearances in 2022, Osorio could be a key name to track away from some of the flashier forwards playing in Europe.

Jesus Jimenez - Starts in season finale loss Jimenez made two clearances and created a chance in Sunday's 4-0 Decision Day defeat against the Union.
Impact Jimenez began the season hot with eight goals and three assists as he started all 17 of Toronto's MLS games through June. But he never looked a comfortable fit in the squad once Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi joined the club in July, and he only scored one more time the rest of the season as he lost the starting job to Ayo Akinola. The 28-year-old will benefit from having a full preseason with his new Italian teammates and will hope to re-establish himself as the first-choice center forward in 2023.
OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ayo Akinola - Comes off bench in season finale Akinola subbed into Sunday's Decision Day match against the Union in the 61st minute and he took a shot in the 4-0 defeat.
Impact Akinola scored two goals in 26 MLS appearances (14 starts) this season as he returned from a torn ACL he suffered in July 2021, but neither he nor Jesus Jimenez were ever completely convincing as Toronto's No. 9. The 22-year-old will have work to do in 2023 in order to earn the starting job at center forward.
OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Perruzza - Used sparingly by Toronto Perruzza did not feature in MLS from the start of July through the end of the season.
Impact Perruzza made 13 appearances (one start) for Toronto's senior team this season before returning to the reserve side in MLS NEXT Pro in the summer. The 21-year-old is far down the depth chart in attack at the moment, but he will just focus on his development for the time being.
OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Deandre Kerr - Backup role in rookie season Kerr was an unused substitute in the Decision Day defeat against the Union.
Impact Kerr made 26 MLS appearances (11 starts) for Toronto in his first season out of Syracuse University, and the 19-year-old scored three goals as he split time between the right wing and midfield. He will hope to continue developing and earning opportunities heading into the 2023 campaign.
OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kosi Thompson - Has solid debut season in Toronto Thompson was not involved in the Decision Day defeat against the Union.
Impact Thompson made 24 appearances (19 starts) during his first season in MLS, scoring a goal and recording an assist before the end of April. The 19-year-old was mostly used as a stop-gap right-back until Richie Laryea took over the position in the summer, but his more natural position is further up on the right wing or he can also play in midfield.
OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jayden Nelson - Comes off bench in season finale Nelson subbed in for the final five minutes of the 4-0 Decision Day defeat against the Union.
Impact Nelson had a breakout campaign for Toronto, making 31 appearances (25 starts) on the left wing or in midfield and tallying his first MLS goal -- against RSL in April -- and a pair of assists. The 20-year-old probably comes up just short of his club's first-choice XI for 2023 when everyone is fit and available, but he can provide valuable cover in midfield for a 35-year-old Michael Bradley and the injury-riddled pair of Jonathan Osorio and Mark-Anthony Kaye, as well as in attack for the league's highest-paid player in Lorenzo Insigne.
OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Bradley - Starts every game this season Bradley created a chance and won two of three tackles in Sunday's 4-0 Decision Day defeat against the Union.
Impact Bradley started in all 34 MLS games this season for Toronto, playing 99.7 percent of the minutes. The 35-year-old also had his most prolific campaign since 2015, tallying three goals and three assists from midfield.
