Individual Player Grades:

#2 – Mamadou Fofana – Midseason Grade: B+

Mamadou Fofana has had an unbelievable season for the New England Revolution this year. Through 16 matches, Fofana has been named to the MLS Team of the Matchday three times. While he still remains somewhat average with his feet, he has shown noticeable improvement in the air. His goal against CF Montréal was a key indicator of what head coach Marko Mitrović and set-piece coach Marc Ortí Esteban are looking for from “Big Mama.”

7.36 average match rating, 1,170 minutes played, 1 goals & 0 assists. 91% pass accuracy, 100% on successful dribbles, 63% on tackles won, 16 interceptions & 56 recoveries. He had 3 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(3 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#3 – Brayan Ceballos – Midseason Grade: B-

Brayan Ceballos got off to a strong start to the 2026 campaign but was later sidelined by a lower-body injury that kept him out for three matches. Toward the end of May, Ceballos returned to the starting XI at right back in an effort to maintain continuity within the New England Revolution backline.

7.08 average match rating, 633 minutes played, 1 goals & 0 assists. 88% pass accuracy, 100% on successful dribbles, 59% on tackles won along with 10 interceptions & 34 recoveries. He had 3 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(1 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#4 – Tanner Beason – Midseason Grade: C

Tanner Beason has settled into the depth role that I expected him to have when he was originally signed by the New England Revolution last season. Through the midway point of the campaign, Beason has appeared in seven matches, though only 55 of those minutes have come in MLS play.

6.54 average match rating, 265 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.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#5 – Keegan Hughes – Midseason Grade: D+

Keegan Hughes has made just one appearance for the New England Revolution first team this season, coming in the 4-1 loss to Nashville SC to open the year. In early April, Hughes was sent on loan to Birmingham Legion FC, where he has made three appearances.

On Loan with Birmingham Legion FC: 6.34 average match rating, 270 minutes played, 0 goals & 0 assists. 88% pass accuracy, 72% on successful dribbles, 44% on tackles won, 1 interception with 7 recoveries. He had 2 yellow card & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#7 – Griffin Yow – Midseason Grade: C-

Griffin Yow has been an interesting addition to the New England Revolution this season. The 23-year-old winger previously spent time in Europe with KVC Westerlo and currently occupies a TAM-level contract in New England, earning roughly $800,000 annually.

6.52 average match rating, 784 minutes played, 1 goal with 0 assists. 5 shots on target. He had 81% pass accuracy, with 7 chances created and 3 big chances missed along with 20% dribbles completed. Defensively, he was 36% on tackles won and has 5 clearances along with 5 interceptions & 32 recoveries. He had 3 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#8 – Matt Polster – Midseason Grade: C-

Matt Polster has taken a step back this season after spending the past few years as one of the most important figures in the New England Revolution midfield. The former field general has missed five matches due to a muscle injury and has struggled to regain his previous form since returning.

6.21 average match rating, 538 minutes played. 0 goals and 0 assists. 3 total shots on target with 89% pass accuracy, 75% on successful dribbles. Defensively he was 40% on tackles won, 16 clearances along with 6 interceptions & 23 recoveries. He’s had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#9 – Leo Campana – Midseason Grade: F

Leo Campana has been extremely disappointing for the New England Revolution in 2026. The TAM striker has made just two appearances, totaling 109 minutes, as New England approaches the midway point of the season.

6.82 average match rating, 109 minutes played, 1 goal & 0 assists. 2 shots on target. He had an 71% pass accuracy, with 2 chances created and 2 big chances missed along with 75% dribbles completed. Defensively, he was 75% on tackles won and had 1 clearance and 2 interceptions & 5 recoveries. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#10 – Carles Gil – Midseason Grade: A

Carles Gil continues to show why he is a former MLS MVP. With three MLS Team of the Matchday appearances and three game-winning goals this season, Gil has once again been the driving force behind the New England Revolution attack.

7.79 average match rating, 1,253 minutes played. 5 goals and 3 assists. 12 total shots on target with 87% pass accuracy, 39% on successful dribbles, 23% on accurate crosses and 35 chances created. Defensively he was 59% on tackles won, 5 clearances along with 5 interceptions & 62 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 2 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(3 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#11 – Dor Turgeman – Midseason Grade: C

Dor Turgeman is another New England Revolution forward who has had a somewhat disappointing start to the 2026 season. After a strong finish to last year’s campaign, many supporters expected this to be Turgeman’s breakout season in New England, especially after fans had been anticipating his arrival for well over a year.

6.98 average match rating, 1,117 minutes played, 2 goals with 3 assists. 10 shots on target. He had 79% pass accuracy, with 10 chances created and 2 big chances missed along with 44% dribbles completed. Defensively, he was 48% on tackles won and has 12 clearances along with 2 interceptions & 27 recoveries. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#12 – Ilay Feingold – Midseason Grade: C

Ilay Feingold entered the 2026 season as a clear-cut starter for the New England Revolution, but injuries — along with the strong form of Ethan Kohler and Brayan Ceballos — have made it increasingly difficult for him to reclaim that role. Feingold has missed five matches due to injury and is still working to return to full fitness and form.

6.97 average match rating, 700 minutes played. 1 goal and 0 assists. Has an 87% pass accuracy, 44% on successful dribbles, and 7 chances created. Defensively he was 51% on tackles won, 24 clearances along with 8 interceptions & 24 recoveries. He’s had 1 error leading to goals. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#14 – Jackson Yueill – Midseason Grade: C-

Jackson Yueill is another player on the New England Revolution roster who currently occupies more of a depth role. Through the midway point of the season, Yueill has made eight appearances totaling 189 minutes.

6.45 average match rating, 189 minutes played, 0 goals with 0 assists. He’s had 2 shots with 91% pass accuracy, 75% on successful dribbles, and 1 chance created. Defensively he was 37% on tackles won, 2 clearances along with 2 interceptions & 8 recoveries. 1 error leading to goals. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances.)

#16 – Jack Panayotou – Midseason Grade: F 

Jack Panayotou has yet to appear for the New England Revolution during the 2026 season. The young midfielder was sent on loan to Loudoun United FC in February, where he has made eight appearances totaling just over 300 minutes.

Panayotou currently has zero goals and zero assists during his loan spell, and his overall development trajectory continues to raise questions. I said it last year, and I’ll say it again this year — it may be time for both sides to move on. Through the midway point of the campaign, I’d give Panayotou an F rating.

With the first team: Zero games played

On loan with Loudoun United: 6.19 average match rating, 319 minutes played with 0 goals & 0 assists. He’s had 8 shots on target with 82% pass accuracy, 17% on successful dribbles, 17% on successful crosses and 7 chances created. Defensively he was 20% on tackles won with 4 clearances, 1 interception & 15 recoveries. He has 0 errors leading to goals. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#17 – Marcos Zambrano – Midseason Grade: C+

Marcos Zambrano was an interesting loan acquisition for the New England Revolution. It felt clear that the move was largely driven by the injury to Leo Campana, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by what Zambrano has shown so far.

5.93 average match rating, 203 minutes played, 1 goal with 0 assists. 3 shots on target. He had 87% pass accuracy, with 4 chances created and 1 big chance missed along with 33% dribbles completed. Defensively, he was 34% on tackles won and has 2 clearances along with 2 interceptions & 5 recoveries. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#18 – Allan Oyirwoth – Midseason Grade: B-

Allan Oyirwoth continues to develop with New England Revolution II and has shown plenty of positives in his two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup appearances with the first team.

The 19-year-old midfielder attracted interest from major European clubs last season, including Chelsea FC, Atlético Madrid, and Celtic FC. Prior to joining the New England Revolution organization, he also turned down a move to Cádiz CF.

With first team: 6.23 average match rating, 130 Minutes played, 0 goals & 0 assists. 4 total shots. He had an 75% pass accuracy, 25% cross accuracy with 2 chances created along with 25% dribbles completed. Defensively, he was 20% on tackles won and has 2 clearances along with 2 interceptions & 6 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 2 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

With second team: 6.93 average match rating, 781 Minutes played, 0 goals with 0 assists. 17 shots on target. He had an 86% pass accuracy, 63% cross accuracy with 8 chances created and 3 big chances missed along with 62% dribbles completed. Defensively, he was 77% on tackles won and has 4 clearances along with 4 interceptions & 66 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 1 yellow cards & 1 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#19 – Damario McIntosh – Midseason Grade: B-

Damario McIntosh made two appearances for the New England Revolution first team during the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and showed several positive glimpses in the backline. While he struggled during the latter stages of the 4-3 loss to Orlando City SC, McIntosh has generally been on a solid stretch of form overall.

With first team: 6.71 average match rating, 169 Minutes played. 0 goals and 1 assist. 85% pass accuracy, 42% on successful dribbles, and 1 chance created. Defensively he was 53% on tackles won, 4 clearances along with 3 interceptions & 6 recoveries. 0 errors leading to goals. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

With second team: 7.39 average match rating, 1,997 Minutes played. 1 goal and 2 assist. 8 total shots on target with 75% pass accuracy, 42% on successful dribbles, and 16 chances created. Defensively he was 64% on tackles won, 11 clearances along with 7 interceptions & 44 recoveries. 0 errors leading to goals. He had 2 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#21 – Brooklyn Raines – Midseason Grade: B

Brooklyn Raines was acquired by the New England Revolution in a cash-for-player trade in December 2025 for $1.6 million, and the young midfielder has quickly become one of the club’s most important pieces.

With first team: 6.63 average match rating, 1,140 Minutes played, 0 goals & 0 assists. 2 total shots. He had an 92% pass accuracy, 50% cross accuracy with 4 chances created along with 63% dribbles completed. Defensively, he was 42% on tackles won and has 35 clearances along with 16 interceptions & 55 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 5 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#22 – Ethan Kohler – Midseason Grade: B

Ethan Kohler was another key acquisition for the New England Revolution during the December 2025 transfer window. The 20-year-old American defender arrived from SV Werder Bremen and initially appeared destined for more of a developmental role within the squad.

With first team: 6.90 average match rating, 896 Minutes played, 0 goals & 0 assists. 5 total shots. He had an 97% pass accuracy with 4 chances created along with 50% dribbles completed. Defensively, he was 57% on tackles won and has 45 clearances along with 9 interceptions & 17 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#23 – Will Sands – Midseason Grade: A-

Will Sands has perhaps the clearest case for Most Improved Player on the New England Revolution roster this season. Due in part to early injuries to Peyton Miller, Sands has started every match for New England and has become a crucial piece of the club’s backline.

6.98 average match rating, 1,197 Minutes played, 1 goal with 0 assists. 3 shot on target with 83% pass accuracy, 50% on successful dribbles, 59% on tackles won, 48 clearances along with 12 interceptions & 41 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 2 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#25 – Peyton Miller – Midseason Grade: B-

Peyton Miller began the season on the injured list after missing a large portion of preseason, and as a result, he has made just six starts through the midway point of the campaign.

Despite the limited starts, Miller has still managed to score three goals this season while featuring in a more advanced left-wing role rather than his natural left back position. That positional shift has largely been due to the outstanding start to the year from Will Sands.

6.75 average match rating, 714 Minutes played, 3 goals with 0 assists. 7 shots on target with 80% pass accuracy, 9% on successful dribbles, 41% on tackles won, 25 clearances along with 6 interceptions & 25 recoveries. He had 1 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#30 – Matt Turner – Midseason Grade: A+

Matt Turner continues to show why he remains a key member of the United States men’s national soccer team. Even though his loan with the New England Revolution only runs through June 30, Turner has been one of the best goalkeepers in all of MLS this season.

The veteran goalkeeper currently leads the league in goals prevented and ranks among the top five in total saves, consistently keeping New England in matches they otherwise may not have had a chance in. His shot-stopping ability, leadership, and experience have been invaluable throughout the campaign.

7.42 average match rating, 1,260 minutes played. 18 goals conceded with 1 error leading to goals. He’s held 1.28 goals against average and 76.9% save percentage with 16 total saves. He has 3 clean sheets and holds 73% pass accuracy with a 37% long ball success rate. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards.

(3 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#32 – Malcolm Fry – Midseason Grade: C+

Malcolm Fry has featured for both the New England Revolution first team and New England Revolution II this season, continuing to develop as a young winger within the organization.

Through nine appearances, Fry has recorded two goals — one with the first team and one with Revolution II — while also picking up two yellow cards. His role with the senior side likely would have been larger had the club not signed Diego Fagúndez, but Fry has handled his opportunities well and continues to show encouraging growth when called upon.

With the first team: 6.54 average match rating, 212 minutes played, 1 goal with 0 assists. 11 shots on target with 11 chances created. He had 75% pass accuracy, 79% on successful dribbles and 13% on accurate crosses. Defensively, he was 48% on tackles won, 1 clearance along with 0 interceptions & 10 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 2 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

With the second team: 7.38 average match rating, 212 minutes played, 1 goal with 0 assists. 11 shots on target with 11 chances created. He had 75% pass accuracy, 79% on successful dribbles and 13% on accurate crosses. Defensively, he was 48% on tackles won, 1 clearance along with 0 interceptions & 4 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 2 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#33 – Donovan Parisian – Midseason Grade: B+

Donovan Parisian, the 2025 MLS SuperDraft first-round selection, continues to impress with New England Revolution II and has shown significant growth throughout the 2026 campaign.

Parisian also delivered a major moment for the New England Revolution first team during their Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup match against Rhode Island FC, coming up with several clutch penalty-kick saves to help secure the victory.

The young goalkeeper appears to have benefited tremendously from working under goalkeeping coach Kevin Hitchcock, while also sharing a goalkeeper room with Matt Turner. His confidence, positioning, and composure all seem to be trending in the right direction. Through the midway point of the 2026 season, I’d give Parisian a B+ rating. With continued consistency and development, he has the potential to grow into a very strong goalkeeper for the future.

With first team: 5.96 average match rating, 120 minutes played. 5 goals conceded with 1 error leading to goals. He’s held 1.00 goals against average and 69.6% save percentage with 16 total saves. He has 3 clean sheets and holds 74% pass accuracy with a 38% long ball success rate. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards.

For the second team: 6.82 average match rating, 630 minutes played. 7 goals conceded with 0 errors leading to goals. He’s held 2.50 goals against average and 37.5% save percentage with 3 total saves. He has 0 clean sheets and holds 66% pass accuracy with a 22% long ball success rate. He had 0 yellow card & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#35 – Cristiano Oliveira – Midseason Grade: B

Cristiano Oliveira continues to make a positive impact within the New England Revolution organization this season. The young midfielder has made two appearances in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and also made his MLS debut against Charlotte FC.

In addition to his first-team opportunities, Oliveira has recorded two assists for New England Revolution II and continues to show encouraging development as an attacking midfielder. His technical ability and composure on the ball have stood out, and as he continues to mature, he looks capable of becoming a regular contributor for the Revolution first team in the years ahead.

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 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

With the second team: 7.78 average match rating, 796 Minutes played, 0 goals with 2 assists. 6 shots on target with 22 chances created. He had 86% pass accuracy, 60% on successful dribbles and 30% on accurate crosses. Defensively, he was 44% on tackles won, 1 clearance along with 3 interceptions & 30 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 2 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#38 – Eric Klein – Midseason Grade: B

Eric Klein is another young midfielder within the New England Revolution organization who has embraced his role and shown tremendous growth this season. Klein has made appearances across multiple levels of the club, contributing for both the first team and New England Revolution II.

He performed well during the Revolution’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup matches with the first team and has also handled a significant workload with Revolution II. In addition, Klein has provided valuable late-game minutes with the senior squad when called upon.

With the first team: 7.65 Match Rating, 229 Minutes played, 0 goal with 0 assists. 1 shot on target with 0 chances created. He had 85% pass accuracy, 100% on successful dribbles. Defensively, he was 33% on tackles won, 4 clearances & 9 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He has 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

With the second team: 7.82 average match rating, 360 Minutes played, 0 goals with 0 assist. 2 shots on target with 4 chances created. He had 86% pass accuracy, 100% on successful dribbles and 66% on accurate crosses. Defensively, he was 58% on tackles won, 10 clearances along with 11 interceptions & 27 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#41 – Luca Langoni – Midseason Grade: A-

Luca Langoni has completely transformed his game compared to a disappointing 2025 season. The U22 forward has taken a massive step forward in 2026 and, for the first time since arriving with the New England Revolution, is consistently showing the level of quality many expected from him.

Through the midway point of the season, Langoni has recorded three goals and six assists while becoming one of New England’s most dangerous attacking players. His creativity, movement, and ability to impact matches in transition have all improved significantly, and he has continued to strengthen his case as a legitimate MLS All-Star candidate.

7.21 average match rating, 814 Minutes played. 3 goals and 6 assists. 28 total shots on target with 78% pass accuracy, 23% on successful dribbles, and 14 chances created with 6 big chances missed. Defensively he was 28% on tackles won, 11 clearances along with 5 interceptions & 25 recoveries. 0 errors leading to goals. He had 1 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(2 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#43 – Tiago Suarez- Midseason Grade: C+

Tiago Suárez was sent on loan to San Antonio FC prior to the start of the season and has performed quite well with the USL Championship side. The 6-foot-5 defender, who is capable of playing multiple positions across the backline, has already been named to the league’s Team of the Week twice this season.

With first team: Zero Games Played

With second team: Zero Games Played

On loan with San Antonio FC: 7.30 average match rating, 871 minutes played with 1 goal and 0 assists. He’s had 2 shot on target with 89% pass accuracy, 50% on successful dribbles. Defensively he was 67% on tackles won with 37 clearances, 6 interceptions & 17 recoveries. He has 0 errors leading to goals. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#73- JD Gunn – Midseason Grade: B

JD Gunn has performed well for New England Revolution II when called upon this season. Through four appearances, the goalkeeper has conceded just three goals and has generally looked composed and reliable between the posts.

For the first team: ZERO GAMES PLAYED

For the second team: 6.84 average match rating, 360 minutes played. 3 goals conceded with 0 errors leading to goals. He’s held 0.75 goals against average and 75.0% save percentage with 9 total saves. He has 2 clean sheets and holds 76% pass accuracy with a 50% long ball success rate. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#77 – Diego Fagundez – Midseason Grade: C+

Diego Fagúndez was an extremely smart addition for the New England Revolution in March 2026. The 16-year MLS veteran currently owns the most goal contributions among active MLS players and arrived on a team-friendly salary of roughly $300,000, making him a valuable depth and leadership piece for the squad.

Through 11 appearances — including three starts — Fagúndez has recorded one goal in just under 300 minutes played. While his role has largely come off the bench, he has still brought composure, experience, and attacking creativity whenever called upon.

6.72 average match rating, 344 minutes played, 1 goal with 0 assist. 3 shots on target. He had 89% pass accuracy, with 3 chances created and 1 big chance missed along with 100% dribbles completed. Defensively, he was 40% on tackles won and has 1 clearance along with 1 interception & 10 recoveries. He had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#80 – Alhassan Yusuf – Midseason Grade: B

Alhassan Yusuf has been excellent alongside Brooklyn Raines in the New England Revolution midfield this season. Yusuf has become one of the club’s most irreplaceable players through the midway point of the campaign due to his consistency, energy, and overall influence on matches.

The midfielder has contributed effectively on both sides of the ball and arguably possesses the highest work rate on the roster. His ability to cover ground, win duels, and help progress play has made him a vital component of New England’s midfield structure. Yusuf continues to show a number of promising qualities, and there is plenty of reason to believe he can continue developing into an even more impactful player as his time with the club progresses.

7.27 average match rating, 1,073 minutes played. 2 goals and 0 assists. 3 total shots on target with 88% pass accuracy, 33% on successful dribbles, and 9chances created. Defensively he was 49% on tackles won, 15 clearances along with 21 interceptions & 69 recoveries. He’s had 0 errors leading to goals. He had 1 yellow card & 0 red cards

(0 Team of the Matchday appearances)

#88 – Andrew Farrell – Midseason Grade: C

Andrew Farrell performed well in one of his two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup appearances with the New England Revolution first team this season. While the 14-year veteran has understandably begun to show signs of slowing down physically, his value to the organization continues to extend far beyond his on-field role.

Farrell’s influence within the locker room, his mentorship of younger players, and his involvement with the Revolution Academy and broader community all remain extremely important to the club. Even in a more limited playing role, he continues to provide meaningful contributions to the organization as a whole.

5.98 average match rating, 214 Minutes played. 0 goals and 0 assists. 92% pass accuracy, 100% on successful dribbles, 50% on tackles won, 13 clearances along with 4 interceptions & 7 recoveries. He had 0 errors leading to goals. He’s had 0 yellow cards & 0 red cards.

Coaching Grades / Front Office Grades:

Head Coach Marko Mitrović – Midseason Grade: A+

In his introductory press conference, Marko Mitrović stated that his New England Revolution side would attack and play aggressively going forward — and he has fully backed up those words through the midway point of the 2026 season.

Mitrović has done an outstanding job building positive relationships with his players, coaching staff, and the broader Revolution organization. More importantly, he has successfully established a culture and tactical philosophy that players have clearly bought into. The Revolution’s attacking identity, intensity, and belief have all noticeably improved under his leadership.

(1 Team of the Matchday appearances)

Sporting Director Curt Onalfo – Midseason Grade: A-

Curt Onalfo made the right decision by hiring Marko Mitrović as head coach of the New England Revolution. Through the midway point of the 2026 season, that move has clearly paid off both in results and in the overall culture surrounding the club.

Onalfo also deserves credit for several key roster additions, including Brooklyn Raines, Ethan Kohler, Griffin Yow, Marcos Zambrano, and Diego Fagúndez. Several of those moves have already proven impactful, particularly the additions of Raines and Kohler, who have quickly become important contributors within the squad.

President Brian Bilello – Midseason Grade: B+

Brian Bilello, who has served as president of the New England Revolution since 2006, has spent much of the offseason and current campaign continuing to push for a soccer-specific stadium project in Everett. With momentum around the club continuing to build, Bilello has made meaningful progress toward one of the organization’s most important long-term goals.

Beyond the stadium efforts, he has also contributed off the field by helping increase attendance and overall foot traffic at Gillette Stadium while continuing to grow interest and engagement surrounding the club.

Owner Robert Kraft & his family – Midseason Grade: B+

Robert Kraft and the Kraft family have quietly continued to work behind the scenes to help bring a soccer-specific stadium to Boston for the New England Revolution. While much of that work is not always visible to supporters on a daily basis, it could ultimately become one of the most transformative developments in club history.

It is also important to recognize the willingness from ownership to give Curt Onalfo and Marko Mitrović the resources needed to improve the roster. The additions made over the past year, combined with the possibility of another Designated Player signing and the long-term stadium ambitions, could realistically position New England as one of the top five markets in Major League Soccer moving forward.

New England Revolution Midseason Team Grade: A-

In comparison to last season, the New England Revolution look significantly improved. The club made several strong additions to the roster, and many of those signings have already had a positive impact through the midway point of the 2026 campaign. The overall culture, competitiveness, and identity of the team have all noticeably progressed.

That said, there are still a few key roster needs that remain evident. New England still appears to lack a true Designated Player-level forward, another starting-caliber center back, and additional midfield depth. The club also needs to begin planning for the eventual departure of Peyton Miller, whether that comes later this year or sometime next season. Replacing his profile and preparing adequate depth at either wingback or winger will be crucial moving forward.

Marko Mitrović and the New England Revolution (8-1-5, 25 pts.) return home to face Eastern Conference side Toronto FC (3-5-5, 14 pts.). The match is set to kickoff at Gillette Stadium on Saturday, July 22nd at 7:30 p.m. ET on MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app.
