New York City FC is one of the most impressive teams in the MLS. They’re not the best team, but considering their low budget, they keep outperforming the richer MLS clubs.
While MLS payrolls can’t be compared to the top leagues in Europe, but if you consider the quality of the teams in the league, the payrolls aren’t too bad to be fair.
The average player salary in New York City FC is $384,500, and the yearly wage bill for all the players combined is $9,588,000. This makes them the 12th highest-paying club in the MLS.
