Angulo's only played 548 minutes of MLS action since arriving in the summer, but the Colombian winger has some genuine skill. He only has two assists and 10 key passes, but we've seen glimpses of real quality on the ball and the ability to whip in a good cross to dangerous areas.

With so much attention being paid to Facundo Torres, it's crucial for another winger to step up and be an attacking threat if Orlando has any hope of breaking through. Jake Mulraney or Benji Michel could potentially be that threat, but Angulo has the most promise of those three as a pure playmaker.
