QUOTEWORTHYQUOTEWORTHY Here are a few notable quotes ahead of Saturday's match against Chicago:
----
----
Revolution Midfielder Tommy McNamara On what the team has worked on during the international break: McNamara: “We worked a lot on [clean sheets and limiting chances]. We worked a lot on our attacking, little bit of patterns and attacking move- ments to create chances and to get into dangerous goal-scoring areas, and then finishing those chances. And then we worked defensively. We worked with our back four, our goalkeeper, we worked with our back four midfield, and we worked with the full 11 on the defensive side of things. We focused on those areas in the past few weeks and hopefully we’ll be able to show that in these upcoming five games.”

NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION vs CHICAGO FIRE FC: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2021 TEAM NOTESTEAM NOTES
Entering this weekend's match, the New England Revolution remain the only Eastern Conference side – and one of two MLS clubs overall – to have already punched their ticket to the Audi 2021 MLS Cup Playoffs. The Revo- lution have clinched the No. 1 seed in the conference for the third time in the team's history, guaranteeing homefield advantage through at least the Conference Final round.
With six games to play, the Revolution have already secured the most successful regular season in the club's 26-year history. New England has set multiple new team records including wins (20), points (65), away wins (9), and goals scored (57) while also on pace to shatter several other club and league records that are within reach:

New England has been running away from the pack this season and enters Wednesday's match 17 points clear of second-place Nashville SC in the East- ern Conference and 14 points ahead of Seattle Sounders FC, the Western Conference leaders, in the Supporters' Shield standings. However, Nashville, Seattle, as well as many most other clubs across MLS have games in hand on the Revs.
In the league's previous 25 seaosns, only 10 teams have won their conference (or division) by 10-or-more points. The all-time largest margest of victory in a conference race was 16 points - LAFC in 2019 and San Jose in 2015.
New England, an original MLS club, is well on its way to recording one of the best regular seasons in the league's 26-year history. With a rate of 2.24 points per game, the Revolution remain on pace to set new MLS single-season records for points (72 - LAFC, 2019), points per game (2.13 - LA Galaxy, 1998), and winning percentage (.750 - three times).

The New England Revolution recorded the first 20-win season in club history and just the 14th in MLS annals with their victory on Sept. 29 at CF Montreal to cap an undefeated September. While the 20-win thresh- old sets new heights for the Revolution, Sporting Director & Head Coach Bruce Arena is no stranger to the feat, having accomplished it on two prior occasions, both with D.C. United in the shootout era (no ties).

In 1998, Arena's most recent 20-win campaign prior to 2021, the legendary coach set an MLS record with 24 victories. A year prior, Arena led his D.C. United side to a 21-win season en route to his second consecutive MLS Cup.
Of the 14 previous teams with 20-win seasons, five have won MLS Cup - D.C. United in 1997 and 1999, Chicago Fire FC in 1998, Toronto FC in 2017, and Atlanta United in 2018.
From 1996-99, MLS matches that ended in a tie after 90 minutes went to a shootout. Taking those contests into consideration, the MLS record for regulation victories in a season sits at 22, first accomplished by the 1998 LA Galaxy and later matched by the 2018 New York Red Bulls.
The rankings below have been adjusted to account for games from 1996- 99 before ties were implemented. Games that ended tied after regulation and were decided in a shootout were recounted as draws.

The Revolution are also approaching the 2018 New York Red Bulls record for most home points in a season (43). While New England is out of contention for the best home winning percentage in a season (1.000) set last year by the Philadelphia Union (9-0-0), the Revolution are looking to write themselves into a top-five spot with their .857 winning percentage at Gillette Stadium this year.
New England is also in position to challenge the MLS record for most regulation home wins in a season. The Revolution have won 11 times at Gillette Stadium this season, three shy of the league record with three regular season home matches left to play in 2021.

New England has been Major League Soccer's best team over the open- ing 45 minutes of matches this season. Offensively, the team has run ram- pant, scoring an MLS-best 26 goals in the first half of contests. Mean- while, their first-half goal differential of 10 also leads MLS this season.
The best 15-minute interval for New England this season has been from 16-30, when they have outscored opponents 13-3. In the final 15 minutes of first halves this season, New England has outscored opponents 10-6.

In addition to strong starts, New England owns the final 15 minutes of matches this year as well, outscoring opponents with their league-leading 13 goals to just five conceded in that interval. Six of those 11 goals were match winners, while another was an equalizer in a comeback victory over New York Red Bulls on July 31. Nine of New England's 13 goals scored in the final 15 minutes of matches have come on the road.

The Revolution's success this season is equally attributed to the club's dominance at home and on the road. The Revolution own a 11-1-2 record in Foxborough this year as the team has achieved double-digit wins at home for the sixth time in team annals. The club's .857 winning percentage at home is best in MLS and on pace to be among the 10-best home seasons in MLS history.
The Revolution's 2.50 points per home game this season is best in the league. The Revs need only one more win in the final three home games to tie the club's single-season mark (12 - 2017).

The Revolution recorded a ninth away win against CF Montreal on Sept. 29, improving the club's road record to 9-3-3 on the year. The Revs have now won seven of their last eight road games. With two road games still remaining on the docket, the Revs have already set a new single-season club record for away wins, surpassing the previous mark of six reached on eight occasions, most recently in 2014. New England won four straight away contests earlier this season for only the second time in club history (2008).
New England has emerged as the league's most formidable away team dating back to Bruce Arena's arrival in New England. Since Arena debuted as head coach on June 2, 2019, the Revs lead MLS in away wins across regular season and postseason play. With their latest victory away from Foxbor- ough, the Revolution became the ninth MLS team with 30 away points in a season, a league-best mark this season.

New England has been Major League Soccer's top attacking team throughout the 2021 regular season, with 53 goals and counting through 28 games. Behind much of the Revolution's success in the final third is their trio of Designated Players -- Adam Buksa, Gustavo Bou, and Carles Gil -- all of whom have enjoyed career-best seasons up top.
When it comes to combined goals and assists, the trio all ranks in the top 20 in MLS, with Gil's 16 assists this season leading the league. It's safe to expect goals when the Revs play, and the underlying analytics back that eye test.
According to American Soccer Analysis (@AnalysisEvolved), New England boasts three of the top-10 players in the league in expected goals + expected assists this season. Gil is the MLS leader in expected assists this season at 10.89 while Buksa ranks second in MLS with 16.40 expected goals.

NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION vs CHICAGO FIRE FC: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2021 CARLES GIL NOTESCARLES GIL NOTES
Revolution captain Carles Gil, Major League Soccer’s Player of the Month for June, an MLS All-Star, and a leading MLS MVP candidate, returned to action on September 3 after being sidelined for the month of August with a muscle injury. Gil owns 16 assists on the season and earned the June honor after recording five assists in three games durign the month. Despite missing six games, Gil's league-leading 16 assists remain well ahead of any other player in MLS.
Gil, who signed a new multi-year contract with the Revs on May 24, either leads or is among the league leaders in virtually every attacking category, staking his claim as a frontrunner for Landon Donovan MVP consideration:

Carles Gil's assist rate has reached historic proportions, as his 0.51 assists per game and 0.56 assists per 90 minutes played both rank third all-time in MLS annals (minimum 20 assists):

As Gil thrives, so does New England. Dating back to the Spainiard's arrival ahead of the 2019 campaign, the Revolution have lost only twice when he gets onto the scoresheet across regular season and postseason play:

While Gil is adept at finding the back of the net himself, his chance creation for others is what sets him apart. Dating back to 2011 – when Opta began tracking key passes as a statistic – only two other Revolution players have registered at least eight in a single game, while Gil has hit the mark six times:

After missing the month of August with an injury, Carles Gil's recorded his 16th assist on Sept. 11 to keep him on pace to break the club's single-season record for assists (19). He is also working to become only the fourth MLS player to tally 20 assists in a season. Gil's 16 helpers are already the second most in Revs history behind Steve Ralston's 19 in 2002.

Gil recorded his eighth game-winning assists this season on Sept. 11, a single-season Revolution record. With five games remaining, he has matched the MLS record for game-winning assists and is one short of setting a new league mark:

Gil's chance creation this season has also been historic. New England's captain has already registered 108 key passes -- 32 more than Minne- sota's Emmanuel Reynoso, whose 76 chances created are second most.

Forward Gustavo Bou is in the midst of an electric run of form, having scored 13 goals on the year and earned a MLS All-Star selection. He was recognized for his blistering scoring pace with MLS Player of the Month honors for July. Bou scored five times across six games in July, adding one assist, as the Revs went 4-1-1 and ascended to the top of the Supporters' Shield table. It marks the first time in Revolution history the club has pro- duced back-to-back Player of the Month winners, following Carles Gil's win for June.
With 13 total goals on the season, Bou ranks tied for fourth in the MLS Golden Boot race. His teammate Adam Buksa (13) has also matched his tally for the team lead.

Bou continues to score at a rate that puts him in elite company. His 0.49 goals per game and 0.57 goals per 90 minute clips are second only to Taylor Twellman in Revolution club history.
The Argentine is tied for the most combined goals + assists in regular-season play, with 39 since he arrived in MLS in 2019. Bou's 27 goals in regular-season play since arriving in New England and his 26 goals from open play are tied for second-most league-wide, in MLS dating back to his MLS debut in July of 2019:

Since joining the club on a club-record transfer fee from Liga MX's Club Tijuana, The Revolution have lost only once when Bou scores a goal. New England owns an 20-1-7 record across all competitions when La Pantera finds the back of the net. Bou has also shown a flare for the dramatic in MLS, having scored seven times in the 85th minute or later wit the Revs posting a 5-0-2 record in those games, inclusive of both regular season and postseason play.

Forward Adam Buksa has doubled his 2020 scoring output with a career-high 13 goals on the season, tied with Gustavo Bou for the team lead. The Polish international has scored in three straight MLS games, with five goals and one assist in his last six games. In addition, Buksa has scored five goals in five caps for the Poland National Team during FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
In regular season play, Buksa's 19 career goals are tied for fifth most since the start of 2020. His five headed goals are tied for third most in MLS during that span.
The six-foot-three forward is among Major League Soccer's most dom- inant player in the air. He paces the league in headed shots and ranks second in aerials won. Buksa's aerial prowess is on display in the Revo- lution's defending third as well. His 20 headed clearances rank second most among MLS forwards this season.

Despite finishing second in Allstate Goalkeeper of the Year voting last year, Turner ranked atop the charts in several advanced and traditional statistical categories, including goals allowed minus expected goals allowed. According to American Soccer Analysis, Turner's -7.27 goals allowed minutes expected goals (GA-xGA) was the best mark among MLS goalkeepers in 2020 by a margin of 1.96.
For his career, Turner has totaled -24.41 goals saved above expected, the best total in MLS since the statistic began being tracked by American Soccer Analysis in 2013. Turner's impressive total comes despite him playing only four of the nine seasons during that span and seeing approx- imately 10,000 fewer minutes than the three next-closest players.
