As late as Game 21, NYC was at 2.048 PPG with a 13-4-4 record and 43 points. They needed just 17 points in 13 games or 1.3077 PPG to get 60 points. After getting only 10 points in 11 games, that is now impossible. The most NYCFC can get is 59 points, if it wins both of its remaining games. Here are all the possibilities.
In 2016, NYCFC looked like a team that overcame a slow start to build a record just short of excellent.
