Atlanta United Final Exams: Darlington Nagbe

Position: Midfielder

League Games Played: 28 Appearances, 28 Starts

Darlington came to Atlanta United in the off-season in what was technically the most expensive intra-league transfer by $50,000, if only to rub the price in the noses of Orlando City, who had splashed out $1.6 million for Dom Dwyer. A good chunk of the price was in the form of incentives, which Darlington was unlikely to, and in fact did not, meet. Still, he was wrested from the boring tactics of Caleb Porter and the hipster wasteland of Portland to form a new and integral spot in the Five Stripes midfield.
