Two-Way Threat: Why Hannes Wolf is so important to NYCFC Hannes Wolf's 12 goals and 4 assists accounts for 36.4% of the goals New York FC scored this season — but it's his defensive contributions that set him apart from other wingers in MLS.

The Best Defender in the Attack: Why Hannes Wolf is so important to NYCFC

@markradigan.bsky.social took a deep dive into Wolf's season, and discovered his defensive numbers are through the roof

New York City 4-0 Atlanta: 3 Thoughts Critical starters were missing for New York City FC against Atlanta, but it didn't matter, as big moments from Maxi Moralez, Hannes Wolf, and Mounsef Bakrar sealed a big victory.

They were missing top players to international duty, but it was no bother for #NYCFC as they rode big performances from a trio of attacking players to a big win over #ATLUTD

Here’s @markradigan.bsky.social with 3 thoughts on the 4-0 win at Yankee Stadium

Will Mounsef Bakrar score for NYCFC again? The NYCFC striker is following up a terrible 2024 with an even worse 2025: The club's No 9 has zero goals — and just one shot on target.

Mounsef Bakrar last scored for NYCFC more than 250 days ago

Is time running out for @newyorkcityfc.com's No 9? Here's @markradigan.bsky.social with the analysis ⬇️

NYCFC escapes Columbus with a point after 0-0 draw A thinned-out New York City FC squad did just enough to scrape out a goalless draw with the Crew at Lower.com Field.

#NYCFC might not have deserved a point but they still claimed one, keeping the Crew out and doing just enough to get a 0-0 in Columbus

A 17-year-old making his first MLS start stole the show in the midfield, but #NYCFC earned their first win of 2025 thanks to big games from a few of their most experienced players

2025 New York City FC Player Preview: Hannes Wolf The 25-year-old Austrian has bags of European experience, was a key starter in 2024, and should be a marquee creator in Pascal Jansen's attacking system in 2025.

With Santi Rodríguez’s move to Botafogo growing more imminent by the day, how will his departure impact the role of Hannes Wolf?

Read more on how the Austrian winger could fit into a new role under Pascal Jansen in 2025.
