TFC Top 31 Countdown: Number 1 - Danny Koevermans
He gave us that awesome "Worst team in the world" interview and a great run of goals amidst our oh so brief streak of competence. Can he come back and once again be the best natural goalscorer in the league? Let's hope so.

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #3 - Richard Eckersley
After a season of being often being played out of position and having the defense change around him almost daily, he may not be the best player on the pitch but can always be counted on to play the full 90. At Number 3 is TFC`s feisty fullback Ecks.

TFC's first round draft pick, though apparently not Paul Mariner's choice -- and also part of the TFC 3 in Houston, but who's counting? Coming in at #4 in our Top 31, it's rookie Luis Silva.

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #7 - Ryan Johnson
It looked like he was going to play every minute of every game, but he was eventually allowed to rest. Scored some great goals, took a lot of punishment and just kept on coming. If only he was a more consistent scorer. At number 7, it's Ryan Johnson

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #8 - Milos Kocic
Given the chance to make the number one position his own, didn't really take it, instead ended with the same beaten down look Stefan Frei developed. At number 8, it's Milos Kocic

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #9 - Darren O'Dea
Darren O'Dea was signed by Toronto FC in August and was greeted by many fans as finally being the solution to the team's defensive woes but that was not the case in 2012 as he struggled to make a difference but showed the skills needed to do well.

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #10 - Reggie Lambe
The Bermudan international scored a total of 6 goals in his first season with Toronto FC but finds himself right on the edge of our top ten due to his inconsistent performances.

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #12 - Julian de Guzman
Our first DP, though in 3 years he only sporadically lived up to that tag. 2012 certainly wasn't the year it all came together for him. The man with the knockout punch, bail bondsman extraordinaire, at number 12, it's Julian de Guzman.

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #13 - Eric Avila
A creative attacking midfielder who started the season so brightly, ended the year exiled to the bench like a child being sent to his room. Did he play that badly or was Paul Mariner teaching him a lesson? At number 13 it's Eric Avila.

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #14 - Doneil Henry
Another year where he got more playing time than would have been expected, a lot of it at right back. He got his first cap for Canada, and scored the winner against the US in the under 23 Olympic qualifier. At number 14, it's Doneil Henry.

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #15 - Logan Emory
A player that's better than this profile makes him out to be. Cheap, dependable, can cover two positions, a good solid MLS depth player. Sadly, with the odd calamitous mistake thrown in. At number 15, it's Logan Emory.

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #16 - Nick Soolsma
Never the fastest or the flashiest, he was a surprisingly solid winger in his time at TFC. Unfortunately a rather large error in judgement and a change in management brought an early end to his career in Toronto. At number 16, it's Nick Soolsma

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #18 - Jeremy Hall
Useful but too expensive, he played a lot more than he really should have, got a kick in the face for his troubles, but did get to see some puppies and kittens. Number 18 is Jeremy Hall

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #19 - Joao Plata
He had a rough season under Winter, sat on the bench under Mariner and eventually wound up back in Ecuador. At #19 in our countdown is the pint-sized winger, Joao Plata.

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #20 - Quincy Amarikwa
A goal against Liverpool and two in the Champions League aside, that's as much as TFC got with Quincy Amarikwa, who comes in at 20 in our Top 31 countdown.

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #21 - Aaron Maund
12th overall draft pick, could he be the answer to the never ending Centre Back problem? Not if he keeps being played as a defensive Midfielder he can't? At number 21, it's Aaron Maund.

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #22 - Andrew Wiedeman
He is what we got in return for Julian de Guzman. Turns out he wasn't exactly the world's best finisher as SOME people made him out to be. Coming in at Number 22 in our Top 31 countdown, it's Andrew Wiedeman.

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #23 - Freddy Hall
A backup goalie, who got the chance to prove he should be back next year, but didn't really take it. Talented but inconsistent, at Number 23, it's Freddy Hall.

TFC Top 31 Countdown: #25 - Matt Stinson
2012 was not the best of seasons for academy grad Matt Stinson. He seemed to be out of favour with both Paul Mariner and Aron Winter and thanks to a number of injuries he found himself way down the depth chart.
