So did Altidore and Adu not make the squad or are they just not chipping in?
Altidore scores a few, I rotate him with Davies, I play Dempsey upfront too though. Adu is in the squad but he's not first team, I play Edu, Bradley and Jones as a midfield trio.

Perveek names Player of the season
Jason Perveek said:
I am pleased to tell you that Bobby Boswell has named my player of the season, our campaign during qualifying has been great and a number of players have stood out. Team spirit has hit and all time high. Boswell has got this award off me though because he has become World class and he doesn't even play in Europe, he is one of teh few ball playing central defenders out there, his technical skill is second to none and he has done all this playing in the MLS which makes it even more impressive.
