New England Revolution 2025 End of Season Review

FOXBOROUGH, MA– New England Revolution have completed the 2025 MLS Season with a record of 10W-9D-17L, 36 points, and finished the season in 23rd place across Major League Soccer (11th in Eastern Conference).

Wins: 10

New York Red Bulls, Atlanta United FC, New York City FC, Charlotte FC, Toronto FC, Rhode Island FC (USOC), CF Montréal, D.C. United, Columbus Crew, Atlanta United FC

New England had a slow start to the season as their first win came in their fifth match after a rollercoaster of a match versus RBNY ended with a 90+7 minute PK winner by Carles Gil. Their hot streak came two weeks later after the team showcased a streak of victories against Atlanta United (1-0 away), New York City FC (2-0 home), Charlotte (1-0 away), Toronto (2-0 away) & Rhode Island FC (2-1 away). All games were a one or two goal margin of victory, putting New England in a comfortable spot in early May. Their next win would have to wait until the end of the month where a Giacomo Vrioni red card led to a dominant second half and 3-0 victory over CF Montréal. It then would become a dark time for New England as their next win came 70 days later versus D.C. United. Thankfully, they would have to only wait a week to find their next win, a 2-1 road victory over Columbus Crew near the end of August. New England’s last win of the season came at home on September 27th, a Dor Turgeman dominated debut versus Atlanta United 2-0.

Losses: 17

Columbus Crew, Philadelphia Union, New York City FC, FC Cincinnati, Chicago Fire FC (USOC), FC Cincinnati, Nashville SC, Portland Timbers, Inter Miami CF, New York Red Bulls, Orlando City SC, CF Montréal, Los Angeles FC, Charlotte FC, Chicago Fire FC, Philadelphia Union, Inter Miami CF

The Revolution started their season similarly to that of last season where they received their first win 35 games into the season. With a 1-0 loss at home to Columbus and a 2-0 loss to Philadelphia, things just didn’t get any better for the struggling Revs when they went on the road to face NYCFC, where they’d lose 2-1. The road journey didn’t get better for New England when they faced FC Cincinnati away and lost yet again 1-0, pushing their record to 1W-1D-4L through mid-April. New England then went on a 9-game unbeaten streak that saw them next lose in the USOC quarterfinals to Chicago Fire FC (New England heavily rotated their squad for this match) in mid-May. New England’s next losses came in June where they fell 1-0 to FC Cincinnati at home and then blew a 1-0 lead & a 2-1 lead over Nashville SC, where they ended up losing 3-2 at home. They then had back-to-back 2-1 losses by Portland & Inter Miami. They then had the loss of the season when they blew a 2-0 halftime lead and lost on the road versus RBNY 5-3. This spiraled into a long stretch where NE would lose back-to-back at home, with a 2-1 loss versus Orlando City SC & 3-1 loss versus last place CF Montréal. Hueng Min-Son then came to town and led LAFC to a 2-0 victory over NE in mid-August. NE would then suffer back-to-back losses again at the end of the month and entry into September with a 2-1 loss to Charlotte & 3-2 loss to Chicago. In mid-September, following massive turnover within the club, the team lost 1-0 on the road to the Philadelphia Union. They then suffered at the hands of Messi-mani in a 4-1 loss in Ft. Lauderdale.

Draws: 9

Nashville SC, Orlando City SC, San Jose Earthquakes, Sporting Kansas City, D.C. United, Colorado Rapids, Austin FC, Toronto FC, Chicago Fire FC

In the draw department, the Revolution drew their first match of the year in a stalemate game versus Nashville SC (0-0 away) in early February. It’d be a few months until they drew again where they came back from 2-0 down versus Orlando City and scraped a 3-3 draw in early May. Their next match was a huge one when Bruce Arena & co returned to New England to face them at Gillette Stadium. In an interesting back-and-forth match, it concluded in a 0-0 draw. Just two weeks later, New England would draw 3-3 once again, this time to Sporting Kansas City, a match they led 2-0 in, collapsed in the second half to go down 3-2, and were rescued by a late Urruti goal. The following week, New England blew another match that they led 1-0 until the 90+1 minute where they allowed a Gabriel Pirani goal to level it 1-1 versus D.C. United. Their “match of the season” came just last week where the team trailed 3-0 at halftime to Colorado Rapids where New England came back in the final 25 minutes to score 3 goals and secure a draw. This was the first time in New England Revolution history that the team had come back to draw after being down 3-0. NE then went on the road to Austin, TX in July and were held to a 0-0 draw with Austin FC. Their next draw came in September where Luca Langoni salvaged a point for New England in the 90th minute to secure a 1-1 draw with Toronto FC. In the MLS decision day, New England were unfortunately held to a 2-2 draw with Chicago Fire due to a 90+9th minute own-goal.

In my view, it is extremely important to note the overall status of results, but also to not shy away from individual player grades.

Here is how I would grade each individual player on the New England Revolution on their 2025 campaigns.

(In order to be considered for a grade, the players listed below have: (1): played OR dressed for a first team game this season &/or (2): are signed to a first team contract)

Individual Player Grades:

#2 – Mamadou Fofana – Midseason Grade: B- | End of Season Grade: C

Mamadou Fofana was an interesting player for the New England Revolution this season. Fofana, a new player who joined in December for a fee of $1,700,000, did well in New England’s backline but as I stated earlier in the season, he has shown recklessness in some moments. He is okay with his feet and understands the spacing, however, he has been bad in the air and gave away a lot of reckless passes. I think that Fofana was the weakest regular starter in New England’s backline this season. I think a C rating for Fofana is the right decision.

6.80 average match rating, 2,576 minutes played, 0 goals & 1 assists. 92% pass accuracy, 86% on successful dribbles, 52% on tackles won, 48 interceptions & 133 recoveries. He had 9 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(1 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#3 – Brayan Ceballos – Midseason Grade: B+ | End of Season Grade: B+

Brayan Ceballos was a spectacular signing for New England this past offseason. Joining from Fortaleza for a reported fee of $1,800,000, Ceballos was a hawk. He constantly hunted players down in the backline, was strong in the air, and was clinical with his feet. He also scores goals. Goals are good. At the midway point of 2025, I gave Ceballos a B+. I think it’d be a dis-service to make his rating any lower, however, this is a team that missed the playoffs. I think that a B rating would be a perfect rating for Brayan’s 2025 campaign. I’m excited for 2026 already.

6.89 average match rating, 2,554 minutes played, 1 goals & 0 assists. 88% pass accuracy, 71% on successful dribbles, 58% on tackles won along with 43 interceptions & 111 recoveries. He had 9 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(1 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#4 – Tanner Beason – Midseason Grade: B | End of Season Grade: B-

Tanner Beason was quite the surprise for me. I was originally against the free agency signing of Beason from the San Jose Earthquakes; however, Beason did extremely well. Through his first 13 games played, New England only lost 2 matches with Beason on the pitch. Throughout the season, he was good with his feet, made the right decisions, strong in the back, and willing to build with the rest of the team. He also was able to play LB in moments throughout the year which added depth and more to this roster in the late stretches. I think that a B- rating is good for him.

6.70 average match rating, 1,948 minutes played, 0 goals & 1 assists. 82% pass accuracy, 40% on successful dribbles, 64% on tackles won, 19 interceptions with 49 recoveries. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#5 – Keegan Hughes – Midseason Grade: B- | End of Season Grade: C-

Keegan Hughes was originally signed to the New England Revolution II in January and then after a stand-out preseason showing in Sarasota, Florida, Hughes was signed to the first team on a supplemental deal. He has played in minimal games for both groups, Hughes however has shown significant growth and for a player of his caliber, he was a good addition to the group. I’d give Hughes a C- for his contributions, mainly due to his “lack of discipline” in moments, however, he is a vital depth piece as well as starter when available for Revs II. I think the end of the season hurt him. C- grade fits Keegan’s 2025 campaign.

6.44 average match rating, 450 minutes played, 0 goals & 0 assists. 89% pass accuracy, 72% on successful dribbles, 59% on tackles won, 5 interceptions with 11 recoveries. He had 2 yellow card & 0 red cards.

For Revolution II: 7.09 average match rating, 464 Minutes played, 0 goals & 0 assists. 89% pass accuracy, 75% on successful dribbles, 68% on tackles won, 6 interceptions with 11 recoveries. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#7 – Tomás Chancalay – Midseason Grade: B | End of Season Grade: C-

Tomás Chancalay is a player that fans were most excited to see return in the 2025 season. After suffering an ACL tear in 2024, Chancalay was slow in his return to play and showed glimpses of his old self. He dealt with a handful of injuries this season which halted his minutes significantly, however, he never really got back into a groove that showcases why he is a Designated Player. I gave him a B rating midseason and wanted to see more; however, he fell to the bottom of Caleb Porter’s pecking order, which significantly hurt him. I’m giving Chancalay a C- rating for the season. Simply not good enough.

6.82 average match rating, 1,227 minutes played. 5 goals and 3 assists. 23 total shots on target with 78% pass accuracy, 55% on successful dribbles, and 18 chances created with 5 big chances missed. Defensively he was 41% on tackles won, 4 clearances along with 1 interception. 0 errors leading to goals. He had 4 yellow cards & 0 red cards

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#8 – Matt Polster – Midseason Grade: B+| End of Season Grade: B-

Matt Polster continued to show again and again that he is one of the most important figures inside this machine that is the New England Revolution. He was the field general. The glue. The facilitator. The enforcer. Matthew Ryan Polster. He had a great start to the year with 1 goal and 1 assist where he has showcased his veteran status on the field. He also got rewarded with a massive contract extension that will see him earn close to $900,000 next season. Polster has done well, but once again, this team missed the playoffs. As a midfielder in the lineup on a daily, his rating is going to decrease. Probably a B- rating for his season.

7.01 average match rating, 2,320 minutes played. 1 goal and 2 assists. 4 total shots on target with 91% pass accuracy, 75% on successful dribbles, and 11 chances created. Defensively he was 51% on tackles won, 26 clearances along with 39 interceptions & 119 recoveries. He’s had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 7 yellow cards & 0 red cards

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#9 – Leo Campana – Midseason Grade: C+ | End of Season Grade: C

Leo Campana was a shock acquisition in the offseason after New England secured him in a historic trade with Inter Miami. With New England’s sights set on a prolific goal scorer for their team, Campana showed glimpses but unfortunately due to multiple injuries, he fell below expectations. There definitely has been more security and support with Campana at the nine, however, New England needs more from a player that is max TAM. Campana could’ve been a Designated Player and I’m thankful that he isn’t one. New England got goals, but they needed a lot more from their nine. I’d give Campana a C- rating for the 2025 campaign. I hope that we can see more consistency in 2026.

6.76 average match rating, 1,648 minutes played, 7 goals with 1 assist. 21 shots on target. He had an 78% pass accuracy, with 17 chances created and 6 big chances missed along with 65% dribbles completed. Defensively, he was 38% on tackles won and had 5 clearances and 2 interception & 34 recoveries. He had 5 yellow cards & 0 red cards

(1 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#10 – Carles Gil – Midseason Grade: A | End of Season Grade: A-

Carles Gil showcased why he is the captain of this team. He showcased again why he was named MVP in 2021. He had a fantastic year. Carles carried this New England Revolution side on his back and is looking to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Carles wants to win, and he wants to bring a trophy to the fans in New England. Giving Carles anything less than A- rating would be a dis-service. I think that entering the 2026 campaign with Dor Turgeman & Leo Campana ahead of him, he’s going to be a massive facilitator once again.

7.86 average match rating, 3,056 minutes played. 10 goals and 14 assists. 30 total shots on target with 84% pass accuracy, 53% on successful dribbles, 29% on accurate crosses and 99 chances created. Defensively he was 59% on tackles won, 5 clearances along with 13 interceptions & 138 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 3 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(7 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#11 – Luis Díaz – Midseason Grade: B- | End of Season Grade: D

Luis Díaz was another offseason acquisition that intrigued me. A player coming in for free & essentially on an MLS veteran minimum deal, I liked the vision of Díaz being a depth player for this squad. When he came onto the pitch, he was been RAPID. A spark literally ignited every time that he stepped onto the pitch. My one gripe with Díaz is that he hasn’t had a ton of contributions. I gave Díaz a B- rating during midseason. Due to the decision to waive him from the club in August, it’s hard to give Díaz a rating. I think a D rating for Díaz is a good summary for his season, though I thought he showed a lot of good glimpses when he played. It’s unfortunate the way that it ended.

6.44 average match rating, 383 minutes played, 0 goals with 1 assist. 13 shots on target. He had 82% pass accuracy, with 7 chances created and 6 big chances missed along with 33% dribbles completed. Defensively, he was 57% on tackles won and has 2 clearances along with 2 interceptions & 18 recoveries. He had 2 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances.)

#11 – Dor Turgeman – Midseason Grade: N/A | End of Season Grade: A+

Dor Turgeman. The player we’ve been talking about for over 1 & 1/2 years has finally arrived in New England. What an impact. In the short time that he was here this season, Turgeman shined. He is an amazing addition to this New England Revolution squad that will have massive implications on the 2026 campaign. 12-15 goals minimum next year. Turgeman is an A+ rating. 100%

7.64 average match rating, 212 minutes played, 3 goals with 1 assist. 3 shots on target. He had 77% pass accuracy, with 4 chances created and 0 big chances missed along with 40% dribbles completed. Defensively, he was 31% on tackles won and has 2 clearances along with 2 interceptions & 3 recoveries. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#12 – Ilay Feingold – Midseason Grade: A- | End of Season Grade: B+

Ilay Feingold signed for the New England Revolution in January and had an up-hill battle to climb as he was battling with Brandon Bye for minutes on New England’s right flank. Right away, Feingold took over. He was a spark on the right flank with 6 goal contributions and showcased a ton of talent. I was baffled that he was not named as an MLS All-Star. Talented player & young. He was listed 17th on the MLS best 22 U22 players. He’s getting a slight downgrade due to the output of the team (missing playoffs); however, I thought he was the 2nd best defender this season. B+ rating for sure.

6.97 average match rating, 2,250 minutes played. 3 goals and 4 assists. Has an 87% pass accuracy, 54% on successful dribbles, and 18 chances created. Defensively he was 57% on tackles won, 3 clearances along with 18 interceptions & 93 recoveries. He’s had 1 error leading to goals. He had 3 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(1 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#14 – Jackson Yueill – Midseason Grade: C | End of Season Grade: D

Jackson Yueill is another player that New England acquired this offseason from San Jose. I was confused at this move due to New England’s depth in the midfield and I’d double down what I said at midseason that by seeing that $1,000,000+ salary, I’m greatly disappointed with his output on the field. Less than 1,000 minutes played, no goal contributions. I need more from a player that is getting paid THAT MUCH. Yueill provides a ton of depth and the ability to play multiple positions, but he doesn’t fit the system in my opinion. I’ll be shocked if New England don’t move on from him in 2026. I’ll give Yueill a D rating for his 2026 campaign.

6.45 average match rating, 897 minutes played, 0 goals with 0 assists. He’s had 3 shots with 90% pass accuracy, 75% on successful dribbles, and 7 chances created. Defensively he was 50% on tackles won, 3 clearances along with 10 interceptions & 29 recoveries. 1 error leading to goals. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances.)

#15 – Brandon Bye – Midseason Grade: C+ | End of Season Grade: C-

Brandon Bye entered his 8th season with New England this year and showcased the same old Brandon Bye. He is talented but with the acquisition of Feingold, Bye’s playing time diminished significantly. His in-ability to take players on 1v1 and his crossing ability definitely played a factor into the decision. Bye managed to play over 1,250 minutes this season and has done when he was called upon. I gave him a C+ rating midseason & I think that I’ll demote him slightly to a C-.

6.61 average match rating, 1,278 minutes played, 0 goals with 0 assists. 3 shots on target with 80% pass accuracy, 70% on successful dribbles, 56% on tackles won, 4 clearances along with 10 interceptions & 47 recoveries. He had 2 errors leading to goals. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances.)

#16 – Wyatt Omsberg – Midseason Grade: B | End of Season Grade: C+

Wyatt Omsberg is another player that joined New England this offseason essentially on a free and on an MLS veteran minimum. I’ll be honest, I had no idea about who, what, or why New England made this decision to sign him, however, I’m extremely happy that they did. Omsberg showed a lot of veteran traits and showcased a lot of good things when on the field. Similar to Polster, Omsberg is an enforcer and a field general. At training, he’s the first guy on the pitch & stays a solid 20-25 minutes after training to clean up after the guys. He’s the definition of a teammate. I’d give Omsberg a C rating on his on-field play, but an A his ability to showcase what a teammate is supposed to look like. I’ll settle for a C+ rating on the season.

6.54 average match rating, 482 minutes played, 0 goals with 0 assists. 3 shots on target with 90% pass accuracy, 58% on tackles won, 3 clearances along with 4 interceptions & 13 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#17 – Ignatius Ganago – Midseason Grade: C+ | End of Season Grade: D-

Ignatius Ganago was an extremely interesting player for this New England Revolution side. A player that is currently on loan from FC Nantes, Ganago would be Designated Player if signed to a permanent contract in December. His loan was extended after hitting certain metrics and in that time, he only had 3 goal contributions. He ends the season with just 5 goal contribution. Ganago brought a lot of positives to the Revs, however, I WOULD NOT sign him as a DP if I was in-charge of making those decisions. He is a max TAM player at-best. I think Ganago is going to be given a D- on the season. Not good enough to be a DP and not good enough to secure a roster spot on the 2026 roster in my opinion.

6.83 average match rating, 1,582 minutes played, 3 goals with 3 assists with 15 shots on target. He had a 73% pass accuracy, with 11 chances created and 9 big chances missed along with 44% dribbles completed. Defensively, he was 45% on tackles won and has 4 clearances along with 4 interception & 54 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards.

(1 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#18 – Allan Oyirwoth – Midseason Grade: B+ | End of Season Grade: A-

Allan Oyirwoth was a spectacular signing for New England. The “Paul Pogba” prodigy signing did exceptional with the Revolution II and has shown a lot of positives in his two USOC matches with the first team. The 18-year-old attracted interest from Premier League side Chelsea FC, La Liga side Atletico Madrid, & Celtic FC. Prior to joining New England, he turned down Spanish side Cádiz CF. He has shown a lot of positives in the final stretch of the season with the first team. All expectations point to Oyirwoth being with the first team full-time in 2026. He did well and hopefully his goal contributions continue into 2026. A- rating for sure.

With first team: 6.50 average match rating, 452 Minutes played, 0 goals & 0 assists. 5 total shots. He had an 83% pass accuracy, 25% cross accuracy with 2 chances created along with 25% dribbles completed. Defensively, he was 35% on tackles won and has 2 clearances along with 6 interceptions & 23 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 3 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

With second team: 7.51 average match rating, 1,052 Minutes played, 1 goal with 0 assists. 7 shots on target. He had an 86% pass accuracy, 14% cross accuracy with 10 chances created and 4 big chances missed along with 63% dribbles completed. Defensively, he was 52% on tackles won and has 5 clearances along with 20 interceptions & 97 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 1 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#22 – Jack Panayotou – Midseason Grade: F | End of Season Grade: C

Jack Panayotou had a bad 2025. The young midfielder struggled with obtaining minutes with the Revolution II and didn’t play a single first team game. He went on loan to USLC side Hartford Athletic, scored 2 goals & got sent off in his debut due to 2 yellow cards, played 2 more games, then got hurt again. Jack did however win the USL Jägermeister Cup. I think Panayotou deserves a C rating due to winning the cup, scoring, and improving as the season went on, however, I would not take Panayotou back next season. Time to move on.

With the first team: Zero games played

With the second team: 6.0 average match rating, 75 minutes played with 0 goals and 0 assist. He had 1 shot on target with 56% pass accuracy, 50% on successful dribbles, with 1 chance created. Defensively he was 100% on tackles won, 2 clearances along with 1 interception. 0 errors leading to goals. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

On loan with Hartford Athletic: 6.79 average match rating, 515 minutes played with 3 goals and 2 assists. He’s had 9 shots on target with 72% pass accuracy, 17% on successful dribbles, 25% on successful crosses and 8 chances created. Defensively he was 22% on tackles won with 6 clearances, 5 interception & 14 recoveries. He has 0 errors leading to goals. He had 2 yellow cards & 1 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#23 – Will Sands – Midseason Grade: B- | End of Season Grade: B

Will Sands had some positive glimpses in the Revolution lineups since his acquisition in 2024 but has difficult competition on that left flank. When he’s played, Sands has been strong defensively and has moved the ball quite well. He lacks the killer instinct in the final third; however, he’s done well with his 500+ minutes. I’d give him a B rating for the 2025 campaign. Good depth and could provide more to the squad when Peyton Miller is away on international duty.

6.50 average match rating, 818 Minutes played, 0 goals with 0 assists. 1 shot on target with 79% pass accuracy, 40% on successful dribbles, 58% on tackles won, 10 clearances along with 9 interceptions & 25 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 3 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#25 – Peyton Miller – Midseason Grade: A+ | End of Season Grade: A

Peyton Miller was a standout player this season. The 17-year-old attracted interest from Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, PSV Eindhoven, & a handful of others and everyone understands why. The player was named #7 in the 2025 MLS 22 Under 22, and he has shown significant growth. His work-rate, strong defensive structure, and blitzing offensive work rate made it difficult for coaches to take him off the pitch. He also earned a call-up to the U20 National Team for the World Cup and has just been on a tear. He probably deserves an A rating for this season but that is due more to his offensive contributions rather than his defensive contributions. He was probably New England’s 3rd best defender this season.

6.86 average match rating, 2,080 Minutes played, 2 goals with 2 assists. 9 shots on target with 81% pass accuracy, 36% on successful dribbles, 48% on tackles won, 14 clearances along with 27 interceptions & 96 recoveries. He has 2 errors leading to goals. He had 2 yellow cards & 1 red cards.

(1 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#28 – Alex Bono – Midseason Grade: C | End of Season Grade: D

Alex Bono only played 2 matches this season, both in the USOC, where he held a 1W-1L-0D record. He had one good game and one bad game, though the heavily rotated squad may have impacted the results against him. I think Bono should get a D rating for the time that he’s played in matches. He was hurt a lot this season and didn’t really do much. It’s a mean grade, but not sure what else to do here.

6.26 average match rating, 180 minutes played. 5 goals conceded with 0 errors leading to goals. He held 2.50 goals against average and 33.3% save percentage with 2 total saves. He has 0 clean sheets and holds a 58.5% pass accuracy with a 42.3% long ball success rate. He had 0 yellow cards and 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#29 – Noel Buck – Midseason Grade: F | End of Season Grade: F

Noel Buck…. where do I even start? The fact that Noel Buck returned to New England this season was a bad idea from the start. The player has wanted to be out of New England since 2023. He was never going to play in Caleb Porter’s system. Never. I’m pleased and give the front office an A+ for their ability to trade him to San Jose. Great job. He’s an F rating as he only played 22 minutes for the club this season and really has been a sore-spot these past few months.

5.90 average match rating, 22 Minutes played. 0 goal and 0 assists. 2 total shots on target with 87% pass accuracy, 35% on successful dribbles, and 1 chance created. Defensively he was 33% on tackles won, 1 clearance along with 1 interception. 0 errors leading to goals. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#30- Damario McIntosh – Midseason Grade: B | End of Season Grade: C+

Damario McIntosh hasn’t played any first team games this season, however, he has showcased on Revolution II why he was an All-Star last season. Over 750 minutes played, and his main goal is to get better. He leans on Brandon Bye and the senior roster for advice and has shown a lot of development and progress over the past 6 months. I’ll give Damario a B rating for his contributions to Revs II.

With first team: Zero games played

With second team: 6.90 average match rating, 1,997 Minutes played. 0 goals and 1 assist. 5 total shots on target with 82% pass accuracy, 44% on successful dribbles, and 28 chances created. Defensively he was 47% on tackles won, 6 clearances along with 21 interceptions & 64 recoveries. 0 errors leading to goals. He had 4 yellow cards & 1 red card.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#30 – Matt Turner – Midseason Grade: N/A | End of Season Grade: C+

Matt Turner was an interesting pick-up by New England. With his mind set on making the 2026 World Cup squad, it was evident that Matt would need to start playing games immediately. For the time that Matt was a part of the squad this season, he actually did quite decent. Though, it was too-little, too-late on this season, Turner was a great addition and will be great to have as New England enters the 2026 campaign. I’ll give him a C+ for his contributions in 2025.

7.07 average match rating, 900 minutes played. He had 1 assist. 14 goals conceded with 1 error leading to goals. He held 1.16 goals against average and 71.6% save percentage with 33 total saves. He has 2 clean sheets and holds 65% pass accuracy with a 39% long ball success rate. He had 0 yellow card & 0 red cards.

#31 – Aljaž Ivačič – Midseason Grade: B+ | End of Season Grade: B-

Aljaž Ivačič had a completely different season in comparison to last season. 8 clean sheets for the Slovenian goalkeeper & 74 total saves were really good. It was intriguing to see how New England handled Ivačič after acquiring Matt Turner, however, I’m pleased that they held onto him long enough so that he could obtain his US Green Card. Ivačič will be a vital piece to an MLS team that is interested in picking him up next season. Easily a B- rating for his contributions in 2025 for New England.

ding to goals. He held 1.45 goals against average and 71.6% save percentage with 74 total saves. He has 8 clean sheets and holds 70% pass accuracy with a 29% long ball success rate. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards.

#32 – Malcolm Fry – Midseason Grade: C | End of Season Grade: B

Malcolm Fry was a player that has struggled this season. Ridiculed with injuries, Fry didn’t have a lot of time this year. I thought Fry is in an awkward position this season and I was pleased to see how he returned from his long-term injury. I’ll give him a B rating due to the fact he had 9 goal contributions in just over 1200 minutes played. I hope that he regains consistency and stays healthy heading into next season.

With the first team: Zero games played

With the second team: 7.10 average match rating, 1,202 Minutes played, 5 goals with 4 assists. 11 shots on target with 11 chances created. He had 77% pass accuracy, 39% on successful dribbles and 33% on accurate crosses. Defensively, he was 41% on tackles won, 7 clearances along with 7 interceptions & 45 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 2 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

#33 – Donovan Parisian – Midseason Grade: B | End of Season Grade: B+

The 2025 MLS SuperDraft first round pick did very good with the Revolution II. He has only conceded 20 goals in his 2025 for Revolution II and had backed up Ivačič in a plethora of games this season. I think the young goalkeeper has shown a ton of growth and is definitely interested and comfortable in learning under Kevin Hitchcock & Brad Knighton so that he can potentially grow into a stronger goalkeeper. I’d give Parisian a B+ rating for his 2025 campaign. He’s only going to get better, and I believe that with the consistency, he’ll continue to grow into a really good goalkeeper.

With first team: Zero games played

With second team: 6.64 average match rating, 1,440 minutes played. 20 goals conceded with 0 error leading to goals. He held 1.33 goals against average and 78.2% save percentage with 32 total saves. He has 4 clean sheets and holds a 65% pass accuracy with a 33% long ball success rate. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards.

#35 – Cristiano Oliveira – Midseason Grade: A- | End of Season Grade: A

Cristiano Oliveira was absolutely unbelievable this season. The 17-year-old showcased a ton of growth and has goals for both the first and second teams. He was an MLS NEXT Pro All-Star and has shined on all cylinders this year. He will more likely than not be the next player to ascend to the Revolution first team. Very talented, very excited to see him grow. He very easily is an A rating for this season. Just a very talented and humble player.

With the first team: 6.80 average match rating, 105 Minutes played, 1 goal with 0 assists. 1 shot on target with 0 chances created. He had 86% pass accuracy, 100% on successful dribbles. Defensively, he was 75% on tackles won, 1 clearance & 2 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He has 2 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

With the second team: 6.75 average match rating, 796 Minutes played, 5 goals with 1 assist. 11 shots on target with 18 chances created. He had 86% pass accuracy, 46% on successful dribbles and 25% on accurate crosses. Defensively, he was 38% on tackles won, 5 clearances along with 8 interceptions & 58 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 2 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

#37 – Maximiliano Urruti – Midseason Grade: B+ | End of Season Grade: C

Maxi Urruti was signed this offseason on a free transfer and is on an MLS veteran minimum salary and he was really good. In terms of output, Maxi had 2 goals in 500 odd minutes played and had a bigger role than anticipated. Due to the injuries to Campana, Ganago, & Chancalay, Urruti had a run of games where he started and showed glimpses of his younger self. On August 14th, along with Diaz, Urruti was waived from the club. He posted onto social media and said, “I guess the problem wasn’t really the problem.”. Clearly an indicator that there were issues between him & Caleb Porter. I reached out to Urruti for comment; however, he declined to comment at this time. I’ll give Urruti a C rating for this season. I really hope that he finds a new club soon.

6.54 average match rating, 583 Minutes played, 2 goals with 0 assists. 8 shot on target with 5 chances created. He had 83% pass accuracy, 62% on successful dribbles. Defensively, he was 51% on tackles won, 8 clearances, 3 interceptions & 26 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 3 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

#38 – Eric Klein – Midseason Grade: B+ | End of Season Grade: B

Eric Klein was signed to a homegrown player contract in May of this year and showed a lot of positive potential. Many MLS execs and sources within the organization have compared him to Jeff Larentowicz & Matt Polster. Though he had limited time this season, Klein did well for the USOC first team matches & the large quantity of matches for Revs II. He was my Revs II POTY at the midway point. I’ll give Klein a B rating for 2025. I wish we got to see more of Klein this season on the first team (over Yueill).

With the first team: 5.65 Match Rating, 136 Minutes played, 0 goal with 0 assists. 1 shot on target with 0 chances created. He had 83% pass accuracy, 75% on successful dribbles. Defensively, he was 50% on tackles won, 1 clearance & 1 recovery. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He has 2 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

With the second team: 7.45 average match rating, 1,348 Minutes played, 0 goals with 1 assist. 2 shots on target with 4 chances created. He had 84% pass accuracy, 88% on successful dribbles and 30% on accurate crosses. Defensively, he was 61% on tackles won, 22 clearances along with 18 interceptions & 87 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards.

#39 – Marcos Dias – Midseason Grade: N/A | End of Season Grade: A

Marcos Dias continued to showcase his talents on why he is one of the best New England Revolution II players of all time. The 23-year-old forward was named to the MLS NEXT Pro Best XI. He made 1 US Open Cup appearance this season. Overall, Dias deserves an A rating for his Revs II contributions alone. He is a facilitator and is really strong with the ball at his feet. His only downfall is that he’d occupy an international roster slot on the first team. I’d expect Dias to move on this season.

With the first team: 5.80 average match rating, 15 minutes played, 0 goals with 0 assists. 1 shot on target with 0 chances created. He had 80% pass accuracy, 75% on successful dribbles. Defensively, he was 25% on tackles won, 1 clearance & 0 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

With the second team: 7.68 average match rating, 2,467 minutes played, 10 goals with 13 assists. 23 shots on target with 91 chances created. He had 77% pass accuracy, 43% on successful dribbles and 37% on accurate crosses. Defensively, he was 44% on tackles won, 12 clearances along with 7 interceptions & 107 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 2 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#41 – Luca Langoni – Midseason Grade: C- | End of Season Grade: D

Luca Langoni was extremely disappointing in my opinion this season. After Caleb Porter was essentially forced into shifting the formation, Langoni was on the outside looking in. Just 4 goals contribution from the U22 initiative player that holds the club record transfer fee of $7,000,000. I needed more from Langoni. He just wasn’t good enough and hasn’t been good enough for the price tag that he costed. He needs to be supplying way more goals and needs to be commanding the wings better. D rating is the best that he’s going to get. Just simply not good.

6.81 average match rating, 1,641 Minutes played. 2 goals and 2 assists. 10 total shots on target with 83% pass accuracy, 46% on successful dribbles, and 28 chances created with 3 big chances missed. Defensively he was 45% on tackles won, 7 clearances along with 11 interceptions & 66 recoveries. 0 errors leading to goals. He had 3 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#43 – Tiago Suarez- Midseason Grade: D | End of Season Grade: D-

Tiago Suarez was sent on loan prior to the start of the season to Birmingham Legion and he did “okay”. The young 6’5 defender that can play multiple positions just hasn’t been good. The point of this loan was to help him grow, develop, and be more disciplined. He managed to only get 6 yellow cards this year, which is a massive improvement from last year. I hope to see better improvement from Tiago next season, but it’s unlikely at this point. D- rating for me.

With first team: Zero Games Played

With second team: Zero Games Played

On loan with Birmingham Legion FC: 6.41 average match rating, 1,365 minutes played with 0 goals and 0 assists. He’s had 2 shot on target with 82% pass accuracy, 20% on successful dribbles. Defensively he was 62% on tackles won with 5 clearances, 12 interceptions & 36 recoveries. He has 2 errors leading to goals. He had 6 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#45 – Gevork Diarbian – Midseason Grade: N/A | End of Season Grade: B+

Gevork Diarbian was an absolute menace this season. The young forward has showcased a ton of talent and was one of the leading goal scorers of New England Revolution II. He made 2 US Open Cup appearances and appeared on the first team bench three times this season. Overall, Diarbian deserves a B+ rating for his Revs II contributions alone. He is a strong 1-on-1 player and has blitzing speed and is consistently demanding the ball. He could be a player to watch in regard to ascension to the first team.

With the first team: 5.70 average match rating, 31 minutes played, 1 goal with 0 assists. 1 shot on target with 0 chances created. He had 86% pass accuracy, 82% on successful dribbles. Defensively, he was 50% on tackles won, 1 clearance & 1 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

With the second team: 7.40 average match rating, 796 minutes played, 8 goals with 3 assists. 27 shots on target with 31 chances created. He had 81% pass accuracy, 51% on successful dribbles and 15% on accurate crosses. Defensively, he was 54% on tackles won, 21 clearances along with 22 interceptions & 103 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 2 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

#47 – Victor Souza – Midseason Grade: N/A | End of Season Grade: B+

Victor Souza is the captain of New England Revolution II. The defender, that was drafted pick #39 in the 2023 MLS Super Draft by Bruce Arena has done spectacularly with Revolution II. He made 1 appearance for the first team this season in the US Open Cup and led Revolution II back to the MLS NEXT Pro playoffs. He is currently out of contract for the 2026 season & I expect him to head to the USL Championship. Good player. B+ rating.

With first team: 6.41 average match rating, 15 minutes played with 0 goals and 0 assists. He’s had 0 shot on target with 100% pass accuracy, 50% on successful dribbles. Defensively he was 75% on tackles won with 1 clearance, 1 interception & 2 recoveries. He had 1 error leading to goals. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

With second team: 7.00 average match rating, 2,168 minutes played with 0 goals and 0 assists. He’s had 4 shots on target with 90% pass accuracy, 63% on successful dribbles. Defensively he was 71% on tackles won with 22 clearances, 17 interceptions & 65 recoveries. He had 1 error leading to goals. He had 7 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#48 – Liam Butts – Midseason Grade: N/A | End of Season Grade: A

Liam Butts was a goal scoring machine this season in MLS NEXT Pro. The young forward was the leading goal scorers of New England Revolution II & broke the record for most goals scored in a single season for Revs II. He made 2 US Open Cup appearances for the first team this season. Overall, Butts deserves an A rating for his Revs II contributions alone. He is a strong aerial player and is always commanding the box. He is a goal scoring threat and can be a player to watch for next season.

With the first team: 5.90 average match rating, 71 minutes played, 0 goal with 0 assists. 1 shot on target with 0 chances created. He had 90% pass accuracy, 63% on successful dribbles. Defensively, he was 75% on tackles won, 1 clearance & 1 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

With the second team: 7.40 average match rating, 1,629 minutes played, 13 goals with 3 assists. 22 shots on target with 12 chances created. He had 72% pass accuracy, 44% on successful dribbles and 67% on accurate crosses. Defensively, he was 43% on tackles won, 2 clearances along with 1 interceptions & 40 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 4 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#49 – Alex Monis – Midseason Grade: N/A | End of Season Grade: D

Alex Monis was a shadow of what he used to be this season for New England Revolution II. He managed to make 1 US Open Cup appearance for the first team this season. Overall, Monis had a pretty bad year that was plagued with injuries. I was honestly surprised that he was called up for the US Open Cup and surprised that he was subbed into the game. The former Chicago Fire Homegrown Player deserves a D rating for his 2025 campaign. This year was nothing like his 8 goal-4assist season last year. Just not good enough.

With the first team: 5.90 average match rating, 8 minutes played, 0 goal with 0 assists. 0 shots on target with 0 chances created. He had 100% pass accuracy, 100% on successful dribbles. Defensively, he was 50% on tackles won, 0 clearances & 0 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

With the second team: 6.2 average match rating, 663 minutes played, 1 goal with 1 assist. 5 shots on target with 9 chances created. He had 77% pass accuracy, 21% on successful dribbles and 20% on accurate crosses. Defensively, he was 41% on tackles won, 2 clearances along with 5 interceptions & 26 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 1 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#55 – Hesron Barry – Midseason Grade: N/A | End of Season Grade: B-

Hesron Barry is an outside back for New England Revolution II. The defender has done quite well with Revolution II this season. He made 1 appearance for the first team this season in the US Open Cup. He is a good caliber right back that has done well; however, New England are stacked at that position. He’s a good player, but not first team ready yet. He’ll get a B- rating from me.

With first team: 6.00 average match rating, 8 minutes played with 0 goals and 0 assists. He’s had 0 shot on target with 100% pass accuracy, 50% on successful dribbles. Defensively he was 75% on tackles won with 1 clearance, 1 interception & 2 recoveries. He had 1 error leading to goals. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

With second team: 6.94 average match rating, 2,092 minutes played with 0 goals and 0 assists. He’s had 1 shot on target with 84% pass accuracy, 33% on successful dribbles. Defensively he was 64% on tackles won with 22 clearances, 38 interceptions & 95 recoveries. He had 2 errors leading to goals. He had 10 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

#59 – Sharod George – Midseason Grade: N/A | End of Season Grade: C

Sharod George was an intriguing signing made by the New England Revolution II this season. The young forward was signed on July 17th, 2025, and made his MLS debut less than a month later. The 6’5, 21-year-old forward has a clinical background in Germany & Greece and could be deemed an impactful player for the future. One source has indicated that he is “the best finisher I’ve seen in quite a while”. I’ll give him a C rating due to his lack of contributions; however, he is a player to watch.

With the first team: 6.00 average match rating, 4 minutes played, 0 goal with 0 assists. 0 shots on target with 0 chances created. He had 100% pass accuracy, 50% on successful dribbles. Defensively, he was 100% on tackles won, 0 clearances & 0 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

With the second team: 7.40 average match rating, 208 minutes played, 0 goals with 0 assists. 22 shots on target with 1 chance created. He had 100% pass accuracy, 25% on successful dribbles and 50% on accurate crosses. Defensively, he was 45% on tackles won, 2 clearances along with 2 interceptions & 9 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 4 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

#73- JD Gunn – Midseason Grade: B+ | End of Season Grade: C

JD Gunn was good for the New England Revolution II this season. He backed up Ivačič a handful of times this season (hence his inclusion in this ranking) and showed a lot of growth. The Panama goalkeeper was called up to the Gold Cup and never really regained control of the net from Donovan Parisian. He conceded only 13 goals conceded in 9 games. He’s getting a C rating from me.

For the first team: ZERO GAMES PLAYED

For the second team: 7.03 average match rating, 810 minutes played. 13 goals conceded with 0 errors leading to goals. He’s held 1.44 goals against average and 82.1% save percentage with 30 total saves. He has 2 clean sheets and holds 73% pass accuracy with a 30% long ball success rate. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#80 – Alhassan Yusuf – Midseason Grade: B | End of Season Grade: B-

Alhassan Yusuf did very well in the midfield next to Matt Polster this season. He was a player that was essentially irreplaceable during the season. The midfielder did well both offensively and defensively and showcased the highest work-rate of any player with almost 200+ recoveries this season. I think he has shown a lot of promising traits and will continue to do so as he remains with this club. He also took Allan Oyirwoth under his wing and has given him exceptional advice. I think I’ll give Yusuf a B rating for the 2025 season.

7.14 average match rating, 2,846 minutes played. 2 goals and 2 assists. 6 total shots on target with 89% pass accuracy, 59% on successful dribbles, and 33 chances created. Defensively he was 49% on tackles won, 40 clearances along with 43 interceptions & 197 recoveries. He’s had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 5 yellow cards & 0 red cards

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#88 – Andrew Farrell – Midseason Grade: C | End of Season Grade: C

Andrew Farrell did well in his two USOC matches this season with the first team. The aging 13-year veteran has shown that he’s slowing down, however, his involvement in the club has been extremely impactful and important on the younger players within the club. His product helping the Revolution Academy as well as the community and not to mention providing his playing with the first team, Farrell remains valuable. I’m happy that Pablo Moreira gave him his flowers towards the end of the season. Andrew will get a C rating for his game contributions for 2025. It will be interesting to monitor this offseason on whether he makes a decision in regard to his playing career.

6.35 average match rating, 201 Minutes played. 0 goals and 0 assists. 85% pass accuracy, 100% on successful dribbles, 100% on tackles won, 4 clearances along with 2 interceptions & 5 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He’s had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

As it is important to rank the players and their product on the field, I feel that it is also extremely important to hold that same regard for the New England Revolution coaching staff.  Here is how I would grade the team staff on their impacts of the New England Revolution’s 2025 so far season.

Coaching Grades / Front Office Grades:

Head Coach Caleb Porter – Midseason Grade: B | End of Season Grade: F

Head Coach Caleb Porter entered the 2025 season with a lot of judgmental eyes surrounding him. Fans remained upset due to the embarrassment that was 2024 and were not looking to see a repeat of what was endured last year. Porter went out this offseason, made 17 roster changes, and officially made this HIS TEAM. After a woeful start, Porter had one long spell where he led the group on a 9-game unbeaten run in all competitions. However, following that run, New England went on a 9-game winless run. New England was so far into a deep hole that the team couldn’t recover to make playoffs. Porter was ultimately fired on September 15th. Following his dismissal, I published an article where current and former players, staff members, & more spoke their mind about their former head coach. It was not pretty. You can find that article here. Overall, Caleb Porter deserves an F rating for this season. He never turned it around and claimed that New England were “in every game they placed” this season. Simply not the case whatsoever. Just plain Bad. F rating.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

Interim Head Coach Pablo Moreira – Midseason Grade: N/A | End of Season Grade: A-

Following the dismissal of Head Coach Caleb Porter on September 15th, the New England Revolution named Assistant Head Coach Pablo Moreira as the Interim Head Coach. In the 33-days that Pablo was in charge, I noticed a significant mood switch amongst the group. Vibes were high at training, players seemed happy, the locker room was buzzing after results. It looked like a completely different team. We noticed a lot of similarities to Caleb’s system; however, Moreira was locked in on implementing his own tactics, raising the team vibes, and getting this club on the right tract. Pablo managed a 1W-2L-1D record in his short tenure, however, I think for his impact on turning the locker room around was massively impactful. I’d give Pablo a B+ for his tenure as Interim Head Coach. He implemented his own ideologies, played some of the kids, and got this group back on track for the end of the season.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances.)

Sporting Director Curt Onalfo – Midseason Grade: C | End of Season Grade: C

Curt Onalfo had a better start to the 2025 season when compared to last year. I honestly disliked his appointment as Sporting Director; however, he has assisted Porter in assembling his team. To my knowledge, Onalfo is in a contract year. I stated midseason that if Porter goes, Onalfo does too, however, I believe that is not the case now. I think Onalfo has gotten the pieces to make this roster a talented one, and I noted that I needed to see that continue, which it did. He went out and got Matt Turner essentially for free & signed Dor Turgeman, which might be the signing of the season. As long as Onalfo remains consistent and makes the right selection at Head Coach, he might be okay. I’ll keep him at a C rating.

President Brian Bilello – Midseason Grade: B| End of Season Grade: B-

Though it is difficult to grade Brian Bilello overall, I believe that he has had quite the year compared to years in the past. The current Revolution president who has been in position since 2006 spent majority of the offseason and current season pushing for a Soccer Specific Stadium to be built in Everett, Massachusetts. With success around the corner, Bilello has succeeded at one of the most important goals all season. While doing so, he has assisted off the field by increasing the attendance and foot-traffic inside of Gillette Stadium and has helped grow interest in the club off the field. He has run into a few roadblocks in regard to getting the shovels in the ground and getting across the line with Carlo DeMaria Jr & Michelle Wu, however, I think that this deal gets done at some point. I’ll give Brian a B-, a slight downgrade from midseason, however, it will be great to see how long it takes for him to get shovels in the ground for the development of the new site & his grade will significantly change when that happens.

Owner Robert Kraft – Midseason Grade: B- | End of Season Grade: B

Another person that is extremely difficult to grade. Robert Kraft and his staff have quietly worked behind the scenes to bring a Soccer Specific Stadium to Boston for New England. I improved Kraft’s rating this season as he opened the bank and allowed Caleb Porter & Curt Onalfo the ability to spend money on players. With a soccer-stadium in the near future, this could turn New England into a top 5 market in Major League Soccer, at least that’s what Taylor Twellman is saying. I think Kraft has done better with his involvement within the club, just his work goes beyond the eyes of fans that don’t pay close attention. Robert was at a handful of games this season & Jonathan has been going to every single home game. He’s invested close to $30,000,000 into the club over the past two seasons. Robert can get a B rating for the 2025 season. I hope that his involvement in the coaching decision goes the correct way.

New England Revolution Midseason Team Grade: C+ / B- | End of season Team Grade: D-

In comparison to last season, this team looks significantly better. The club went out and signed a ton of talented players; however, the coaching just wasn’t there in the slightest. In league play, the team scored 7 goals more than last season and managed to allow 23 goals LESS than last year. The signings of Ceballos, Feingold, & Fofana were impactful & adding Matt Turner to that back line has increased that notion even more. I think that depth wise this team was lacking & that caused problems as the season progressed. I have to downgrade my midseason ranking of a C+/B- due to the fact that this team missed the playoffs again. This team SHOULD BE A PLAYOFF TEAM. I think based on the overall output on the field, I’ll be generous and give this team a D- rating for the 2o25 campaign. The pieces were there… there were positive glimpses… but again, they fell short.

Offseason thoughts: 

I genuinely think that this team won’t make any massive roster changes. It won’t be shocking when a new coach comes in and definitely make a handful of tweaks that suit their system. That’s inevitable. We won’t see 21+ changes like we did last year. Probably closer to 3-5. I think that with the right coaching, the full team buying into the new staff’s goals and tactics, and maybe 2-3 top tier signings, this is very easily a top 4 team in the MLS Eastern Conference.

It’s up to Curt Onalfo, Chris Tierney, Brian Bilello & the Kraft Family to go out and make the right choice so that this franchise can get back on track.

The New England Revolution are off for the remainder of the 2025 campaign. They will look to improve this offseason to right the ship ahead of the 2026 MLS season.
