1. What’s new about NYCFC this year? Who have they added, who have they lost?
It was a quiet offseason for NYCFC, but then it always is under sporting director David Lee. He’d rather wait to sign the right player in the middle of the season than make do with who’s available at that moment. The team let Jessús Medina leave, lost Ismael Tajouri-Shradi to the expansion draft, and let James Sands go to Rangers FC on loan. Of those, Tajouri-Shradi hurts the most: We miss his energy, his speed off the bench, his ability to play on the right.
