The One Soccer guys all had Malonga as their top CanPL international player and I'm not buying it. For us alone, I think Büscher has been more consistent. Malonga has obvious quality. He's got a great touch for a big man and he's a smart attacker. He ghosts into scoring positions. There's a reason he has Serie A experience. At the same time, there's also a reason he last played in the Greek 2nd Division. His conversion rate of his chances seems low to me and I like a higher work rate in a striker playing on his own up front.
As mentioned, it's gonna take a Forge meltdown to not see them in the final. Which is good because Cavalry and Forge are the clear top two this year.
