NYCFC completed their preseason at the Coachella Valley Invitational, focusing on building a fluid and flexible attacking strategy under manager Pascal Jansen. The team showcased their adaptability in formations, primarily utilizing the 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 setups, allowing quick transitions and positional interchanges. Jansen emphasized the necessity of unpredictability to confound opponents, likening the approach to 'organized chaos.'
