2026 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread

[Cohibax]

Since signing messi and then his friends, miami have added 3 trophies and a plate to their silverware cabinet.

with martins dropping out of DP status and moving magno on, this club will need to dream big if they want to win MLS cup. Yes, spending doesn't guarantee MLS cup or winning even. But with CFG resources, hopefully a good SD, and Jansen picking players he wants, there's no reason why we can't be an automatic contender in 2026 and 100000% in 2027.

Magno will be back with us at least for pre-season. His loan expires 12/31/25 and his contract is through 2027. Corinthians has no intent on keeping him they are broke.

I would imagine Talles will be sent on another loan or sold. I don't think he ever steps on the field for us again.

If we have replacements lined up, I am fully on board with getting rid of Ojeda and Fernandez. But with the new sporting director coming on board on January 1, the odds of finding quick replacements this window seem to be remote. We're better with them than we are without them and no other replacements. I think the team has greater fish to fry (Haak, Perea, and a replacement for Alonso) than trying to replace Ojeda and Fernandez this window.

They both are still 21 -- we forget how young they are.

The table below is sorted by the goals added metric for all NYC players with a minimum of 979 minutes played (Chosen so Nico would be in the data). This stat is not kind to many of our attacking players, likely because of how few goals the team scores in general. For reference, the 3 players in the lead for the goals added stat are: Messi (15.85), Bouanga (8.14), and Surridge (7.11).

ASA defaults to showing G+ on a "Above Average" scale. Meaning if the average player at your position adds 5 goals by shooting and you add 6, you're listed at +1, and if you add 4 you're listed at -1. That's very useful, but I often really prefer to see the raw numbers. Here is your same table with the raw data:


Maxi is a +4.4 Raw but -3 on the Above Average scale because an average attacking mid with his minutes would add about 7.5 goals over a year.
