2025 Final Grade: Agustín OjedaThe 21-year-old winger had a stretch of summer productivity as an assist-maker, but Ojeda's attacking output was missing for much of the season despite his playing in all 43 of New York City FC's 2025 matches.

2025 Final Grade: Hannes WolfThe Austrian got off to a hot start and became one of New York City FC's main scoring threats, but he fasted as the season went on.

2025 Final Grade: Jonny ShoreThe 18-year-old had the most impressive Homegrown debut season in club history, and the strongest year for a teenager at New York City FC since a 19-year-old Jack Harrison had 10 goal involvements in 2016.

2025 Final Grade: Nico Fernández MercauThe 25-year-old Designated Player bolstered the creative side of NYCFC's attack and saved his best and biggest goals for the MLS Cup Playoffs after arriving at midseason.
