The intention of this CPL Scouting Database series is to present undervalued and underrated players from leagues across the world that could be valuable options for Canadian Premier League teams, or higher levels of play in North America. The players featured here include:
- CPL players that are among the best in their position/role within the league.
- Players across leagues from every continent that would comfortably be one of the best in their position/role in the CPL.
All players featured here have been screened through an intensive data and video analysis process, often times through the culminating work of three TMS scouts. Our data analysis primarily includes players with the following criteria:
- Under the age of 27, with a market value below $600k (the standard currency for market values is listed as €400K and below, so we have converted it to CAD$).
- Specific data criteria used to screen players in each role/position based on our player roles.
- Contract expiry dates typically between now and 2024. Some CPL or Canadian-born players featured have longer contracts, but have been included due to their fit for the clubs in question.

Benjamin Šeško is United’s best striker in years
With four goals in his last five matches, Šeško earned himself the Premier League’s Player of the Month award for February. This, in just 85 minutes of making an impact off the bench.
