New York City F.C. 2016 Season Preview



Posted By: Chris Ransom on 2/4/2015


New York City F.C. is set for the future. This team has an abundance of strikers.


David Villa, Patrick Mullins, and Khiry Shelton all return at striker in 2016. Shelton can continue to be used as a depth player at forward as he develops.


Frank Lampard will be playing the whole season unlike last time. Mix Diskerud is also back.


Ned Grabavoy and Sebastian Velasquez were part of the Jason Kreis regime. Patrick Viera is likely going to put 2015 second round pcik Connor Brandt at left wing and rookie Jack Harrison who New York City F.C. traded up for in the 2016 MLS Super Draft at right wing.


Kreis brought guys up on defense. None of them panned out. This defense was expected to do big things in 2015 and turned out to be a huge disappointment. This defense nearly surrendered 4 goals to Robbie Keane last year. Viera did a great job bringing Free Agents in on defense.


Ronald Matarrita will replace Jeb Brovsky at left back who just sucked. Ethan White was acquired in a trade with the Philadelphia Union at center back. Frederic Brilliant, a center back from France joins Ethan White. Right back Diego Martinez is going to be the right back for New York City F.C.


Josh Saunders really had a career year at goalie for New York City F.C. in 2015. Saunders will be back, but his backup Ryan Meara won't be.


Prediction: Everyone is writing off New York City F.C. after last year. I think they've made enough upgrades to contend for a playoff spot and got rid of all the players that didn't help them out. Don't be surprised if New York City F.C. sneaks into the 2016 MLS Playoffs and establishes a winning culture with Patrick Viera who stayed all 3 days at the 2016 MLS Combine unlike Jason Kreis who left after the first day of the 2015 MLS Combine.
