It’s getting listed as 5 at the back, but feels like a 4-2-3-1 for NYCFC in Game 1 as Pascal Jansen opts for Haak-O’Neill in the midfield pivot with Andrés Perea on the left, Nico Fernández on the right, and with Hannes Wolf, second most goal contributions (16) this season, on the bench

No Hannes in the XI as we speculated in the Game Day Hub. But no Julián or Agustín either
Instead could Haak play a more advanced role alongside Andrés and Nico?
