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.

Enzo Fernandez, VAR and the offside decision that changed the Manchester derby
The controversy around this is ultimately about more than just an error of judgement.
It’s the fact that the on-field team initially came to the correct decision. If VAR wanted to ask the refereeing team to have another look and review the footage, the assistant referee involved in making that call could have been…
Xabi Alonso – Chelsea – Tactical Analysis
It’s been four Premier League matches for Xabi Alonso at Chelsea, and already, the Blues are so much more fun. They’re scoring goals left, right, and centre, have the most harmonious and eye-pleasing front three in the league, and a tactically complex shape full of new faces and utter disorganization in defense. Chelsea fans might…

Matthias Jaissle has only been in charge for a month now, and Newcastle are still a work in progress. They’ve lost some of their most influential figureheads, and are rapidly changing their approach and identity.

The new Martin Ødegaard is the Premier League’s best player
Going into this season, even despite his fantastic World Cup campaign, fans might have wondered if we were witnessing the slow decline of Martin Ødegaard, soon to be fazed out. But instead, it’s been the opposite. Martin Ødegaard has not only been Arsenal’s best player to start this season, but arguably the best in the…

Lewis-Skelly and Tzolis star in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Coventry
Earlier this week in my Arsenal preview, I declared the Gunners as favourites for the Premier League title again in 2026-27. They’re just so complete. So well drilled. So organized. No missing components to the puzzle. It’s a really efficient side that Mikel Arteta has built, and one that can hurt opposing teams from such…
How Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal could look in 2026-27
Arteta’s made subtle adjustments in the transfer window to keep his squad the same, adding only a few pieces to the puzzle. The only loss is Leandro Trossard, and it’s safe to say that United, Liverpool and City have endured greater losses. Meanwhile, Bruno Guimarães adds another versatile dimension in midfield, and Greek international Christos…
How Andoni Iraola’s Liverpool could look in 2026-27
After winning the title in Arne Slot’s first Premier League campaign, Liverpool endured one of their worst seasons across the past decade in his second, ultimately resulting in an end of season sacking. Three points below them, Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth secured European football for the first time in club history. Despite that, the prospect of…
