Stuart Armstrong

Armstrong was a late addition to the Whitecaps with eyes on driving them to a deep playoff run. He certainly helped with that, scoring once and adding two assists across four playoff matches. That's the positive side, but the negative is that he was hardly on the pitch until the playoffs and offered three of his four goal contributions in a single match. In the 2023/24 season, Armstrong scored five times and added seven assists for Southampton, so there's no doubt the talent is there, especially with star strikers Brian White and Ryan Gauld there to finish the chances Armstrong creates.
