Is this the official MLS ranking?

No. Ranked XI is an independent national table. MLS publishes its own standings; this page places NYCFC on one scale that runs from MLS to the grassroots so clubs in different leagues can be compared.

What does a rating of 1891 mean?

It is an Elo-style strength estimate from real league standings, calibrated across leagues on about 600 U.S. Open Cup results. Higher is stronger. It is a measure of form and level, not a prediction that NYCFC would win any particular match.

Why is a club from another league listed as a rival?

"Nearest rated rivals" means nearest by distance, not by league. Because every club sits on one scale, the closest club to NYCFC is shown whatever division it plays in.

Is this betting advice?

No. Ranked XI publishes ratings and probabilities as data. Nothing on this site is betting advice.

How is NYCFC rated?

Real league standings. The division publishes a table but not usable match-by-match results, so the rating is fitted to points and goal difference and moves as the table moves. Cross-league placement is calibrated on roughly 600 U.S. Open Cup results, the only competition where clubs from different tiers actually play each other — full methodology.

Where does NYCFC sit nationally?

NYCFC is #11 of 2,142 rated men’s clubs in the United States, and #11 of 30 rated clubs in MLS. Both figures come from the same scale, so the national number already accounts for every league above and below MLS. In New York it is #1 of 213 rated clubs (state table).
