The Sheanonmenon’s 2012 season was a rocky one and included a foray at center back and a lingering toe injury. With rookie Raymon Gaddis impressing in his first season, could we see a competition at right back in 2013?
Keon Daniel had a strangely quiet 2012 season after he strangely disappeared from the U.S. due to “visa issues” in late 2011. PSP explores his situation in this season review, including asking whether Daniel was abducted by aliens and replaced by a copy. (Yes, really.)
Fast, elusive, and feisty, Antoine Hoppenot spent 2012 bustling his way into the hearts of Philadelphians everywhere. Expect nothing less in 2013.
While he may not have expected to captain the Union in 2012, Carlos Valdes led his young team from the front, proving his quality at every turn.
Young, incredibly talented and full of promise, Sean Doyle’s look at the Union’s homegrown players season with comments from Union Reserve Team coach Brendan Burke.

While 2012 was not the breakout year for Michael Farfan that many had expected or hoped for, is there a player on the roster with more upside?
He played one game. And got hurt. Hopefully 2013 is better.
