There is no doubt that 2018 was a difficult year for Orlando City. The team broke the MLS record for most goals allowed in a season and picked up just eight wins for the year. Still, there were some bright spots.
The Lions were not the worst team in the league — that would be San Jose with a final record of 4-21-9. There were also a number of players and individual moments that showed promise for next season and beyond. The team found a new manager in James O’Connor, and his project will be at revamping the squad for 2019.
