Following the preseason, I thought about creating a depth chart for New York City FC. Ultimately, I decided against it because I felt I just didn’t have enough information to make such decisions. Lo and behold, I made the right call. I really didn’t believe Patrick Vieira would start Ben Sweat and Rodney Wallace in the season opener, but he did. And thus far, it has worked for him. Clearly, Vieira is the smarter soccer mind here.
After two games and with everyone being relatively healthy, I believe there is enough data to take a stab at creating a full, working depth chart.
