CF Montreal Roster
Philippe Eullaffroy's squad is one of the youngest in MLS entering the 2026 season, and they only have four players 30-years-old or older. Montreal trotted out three of the MLS top-10 youngest starting lineups in the history of MLS in 2025.
Donadel will need to help those players improve drastically if they are going to find themselves competing in the Eastern Conference this year.
Montreal's most important players include veteran midfielder Samuel Piette, and Ghanaian forward Prince Osei Owusu.
