Aiden O'Neill

Aiden O'Neill is establishing himself as New York City's platinum-tier Engine. Arriving from Standard Liège, the Australian midfielder is building his body of work in the division, bringing an aggressive, box-to-box presence that sets a combative tone in the middle of the pitch.

While his sample size of 434 minutes across five appearances is still emerging, our take is that he is a player hitting top form right when his team needs him. He operates as a certified ENFORCER, breaking up opposition attacks with relentless tackling and a knack for winning ugly physical duels. His Defense dimension is off the charts, compensating for a more modest passing game. Operating with real bite, he thrives on disrupting the opposition's rhythm rather than dictating his own team's tempo.

Holding a stable market valuation of €3M, O'Neill is proving to be a shrewd piece of business. If he maintains this intense work rate and sustains his current hot streak, he will solidify his status as an indispensable shield for the backline.
