Frequently Asked Questions
Which NYCFC players make the most tackles?
Nico Cavallo leads with 21 tackles across 7 qualifying appearances (3/g, 100% hit rate). The tackle-rate table on this page lists every NYCFC player with their tackles per qualifying appearance (≥20 minutes), six-game form mask and current Bet365 1+ tackles price for the next fixture.
How does NYCFC's tackle profile look this season?
NYCFC are averaging 16.1 tackles per game over 10 games and concede 15.2 for a match-total of 31.3. That ranks 7th of 30 for team tackles in their primary competition. They average 10.73 tackles per take-on attempted against them (opposition averages 1.67 take-ons/g).
How is the tackle matchup read calculated?
Tackle matchup blends the defender's tackles per game (50%), the opposition attacker's take-on rate (30%), and the defender's underlying tackle propensity (20%). For the upcoming fixture against New York RB, the page's matchup read uses each opposition forward's last-season dribble rate to weight NYCFC's defenders.
Where do these tackle stats come from?
All numbers come from match-level Sportmonks data ingested into Statz - 10 NYCFC fixtures in the active window for 2026. Player odds come from Bet365 player markets when priced. Pre-match lineups are predicted lineups until team news lands, then confirmed.
What counts as a qualifying appearance?
A player must have featured for at least 20 minutes in a fixture for that match to count toward their tackle rate and form. Cameo appearances are excluded so the rates aren't diluted by 5-minute substitutions.
Do tackles count attempted or only successful?
We count attempted tackles per Sportmonks' definition. That matches what Bet365 settles 1+ tackles markets on, so the page's hit-rate and the bookmaker's pricing are aligned.
