Following their second half performance in the 2018 season, there is little doubt in my mind that the New York City FC team that takes the field in 2019 will be quite different than the one we saw this year. We already know that Alexander Ring, Sean Johnson, and Alexander Callens will be with the club after signing “multi-year” deals last month. But apart from that, NYCFC’s 2019 roster is anyone’s guess.
Perhaps the biggest question mark surrounds David Villa, the club’s first-ever signing, team captain, and all-time leading goalscorer.
