CAM Mauricio Pereyra

There is nobody on this roster who can do what Pereyra can do. He is a natural No. 10, capable of controlling a game, picking out through balls and creating chances at a high volume. He's been really good at times throughout his Orlando City career, but he has to be consistently producing for the Lions to compete for trophies. He needs to be Orlando's Nico Lodeiro or Carles Gil. Pereyra doesn't even need to be as prolific or productive as any of those three, but he does have to have a similar effect on the players around him. If he's orchestrating things at a high level, the rest of the offense clicks so much easier.
