All this week, we’ll be running a series of previews of the 2020 Orlando City squad, going position by position and giving you the scoop on every player on the roster. Today, we’ll wrap up by going through Oscar Pareja’s choices at the forward positions.

The Portuguese superstar came in with the hype machines blazing last February and was as good as advertised, leading the team with 12 goals and 10 assists. Nani was the first player in Orlando City MLS history to hit double digit goals and assists in the same season, setting a new club single-season record for total goal contributions in the process.
