Through New York City FC’s first four games, they have notched three wins and a draw. This unbeaten streak is the best start in franchise history, a huge testament to the contributions of new signings such as Ismael Tajouri-Shradi and new DP Jesus Medina.
This franchise-record start has also put NYCFC at the top of Major League Soccer’s official power rankings, a spot they’ve occupied since Week 2. Though the 2018 season is still in its infancy, City has poised themselves to be the new gold standard in MLS following the slow start that Toronto FC has had out of the gate (though it should be noted that they have making waves in the CONCACAF Champions League).
