After a 2018 campaign that saw several club records set, the Union will look to push on and become an Eastern Conference power in 2019
For a franchise that lacks an illustrious history of success, 2018 was a significant year for the Philadelphia Union.
The Union set team records for points, wins, and road wins, all while integrating a youthful defensive duo that could become the bedrock of the franchise.
Strangely, Philadelphia didn’t get much from the two players it expected to carry the team offensively in 2018: C.J. Sapong and David Accam combined for just five goals and three assists, while the more unheralded pair of Corey Burke and Fafa Picault each scored 10 goals.
