NYCFC Survivor [2025 Edition] General Discussion

[Shwafta]

MLS Cup is over, we made it pretty damn far... But now the roster has had a week off, roster moves were made, and now we await the off-season spending to begin! ...as NYCFC definitely always does early...

With it comes a new Survivor! Player pool will be announced soon, as soon as I get my act together. In the mean time, get those fingers warmed up, those spiteful, loving, or just lukewarm hot take ready, as we prepare to see who will win this year's survivor!

Hall of Winners

The track record of retaining our survivors wasn’t too good those first three years.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to the 6th Edition of what has become our off-season tradition of blowing off steam kicking off our least or most players from a deserted island! Survivor will begin this week.

After a somehow not-so-disappointing playoff performance, it's time to get the ball rolling.

For this year, same as last year, I'll be using strictly the roster as shown on transfermarkt for the 2024 season, specifically anyone who made at least 30 minutes 2025 across all competitions for the main team. (this avoids three players who played <15 minutes, one time in open cup or mls) In the case of a player leaving mid-year or arriving mid-year, they will still be counted, as long as they made at least one appearance.

Full list of players listed below.
As Survivormaster, I get to choose how each round plays out -- so keep an eye on the rules for each round before voting!
Also, don't forget you can switch your vote whenever you want before the time runs out. Use this to screw over players you don't like, help players you like, whatever you want!
This is, after all, the most important award any NYCFC player can win, and as such we must make certain that our favorite player wins.
...Of course, yeah, that's it.

If he leaves do you think he'll immediately be booted by the voters? lol

Just one more thing for him to think about before he decides.
