Wingers · New York City FC · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
A career still climbing — Mercau is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
The record covers 7 seasons (2021/22–2026/27) across 3 clubs, including a move abroad — 158 appearances, 30 goals and 16 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2026/27 at New York City FC — Season rating 71, 13 goals and 3 assists in 20 games. 2026/27 was the leap — Season rating up 52 points at New York City FC. Form is on a climb — up 35 Season points across his last 3 full seasons.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±18 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2025/26 (Major League Soccer) and kept playing — 16 games that season.
