Based on our Community Player Ratings this season, there’s really no question who the Philadelphia Union’s MVP has been.
Andre Blake has received the highest average rating in the poll 10 times out of 24 games in all competitions in 2020 (Mark McKenzie is second with four). No matter who his replacement was on Sunday and will be next Sunday in the Decision Day match against New England Revolution, there was going to be a drop-off.
Unfortunately for Joe Bendik against his former team on Sunday, the two moments when he was needed most he didn’t deliver after looking shaky as a 90th minute replacement for Blake on Wednesday.
