Late season slumps were a theme for Austin FC under Josh Wolff. How is Nico Estévez doing so far in the last 11 games of the season compared to Wolff?
Under Wolff, the team achieved 12 points 3 times, while the most wins were 4 in 2021. This year, Austin has 11 points and 3 wins with 2 games left.

Nico's form in the last 11 games of the season compared to Josh Wolff's.

*In 2024, Davy Arnaud coached the last game of the season.

We did some math to figure out all the Austin FC playoff possibilities:

verdeallday.com/the-western-...

The Western Conference Playoff Zone: Ceilings and floors across a space-time continuum

Austin's looking at a playoff picture ranging from 5th through 9th. We did a lot of math to map out the possible pathways for Verde and the 10 teams still in the postseason picture.

It all comes down to ONE game 👀🔥

With both Messi and Denis Bouanga called up for international duty, they’ll miss their clubs’ matches this week, leaving them with just one final MLS game to battle for the Golden Boot 🏆⚽

Now that Austin FC has made the playoffs, the goal should be to get results to get out of the 8-9 play-in game.

In a worst case scenario of Austin losing both of its remaining games, three of the teams currently near Austin could finish ahead of them. Austin has 44 points and 12 wins. (Thread)
