Which player is facing the most pressure in 2018?

David Villa will be tasked with leading the way to NYCFC this season. The only other double-digit goal scorer on the 2017 squad, Jack Harrison, is headed to England. Villa will be asked to not only continue to produce at a ridiculously high level (65 goals since joining NYCFC in 2015), he will also have to earn his money as a captain to help new talent integrate into the team. Jesús Medina, Jo Inge Berget, and Ismael Tajouri all have great potential to be stars in the Big Apple. However, this club will only go as far as Villa’s 36-year old legs can carry them in 2018.

The only other double-digit scorer on the 2016 squad, Frank Lampard, retired. Jack Harrison stepped up.

Someone else will step up. Though I do expect 20+ goals from Villa again.

I'm actually kinda worried - going 3 seasons in a row without a major injury to a 34+ year old player sounds kinda improbable.
 

I know people have expressed some issues with his coverage before but having another publication and journalist on our beat is a good thing in my book

he's a click bait twat, tweeted shit about a Nazi flag in the supporter section based on second hand reports on reddit and never recanted even when given evidence that he was boondoggled. Absolute fucking TWAT.
