We’ve all been waiting for the other MLS expansion shoe to drop, and here it is: the rules for the 2018 MLS Expansion Draft.
This draft is marginally unique in that there’s only one club selecting; this is not unlike last year, when just LAFC selected. As a result of that situation, MLS has opted to consider the two drafts as two parts of one whole.
As such, FC Cincinnati will be selecting from the teams that did not have a player selected in the 2017 Expansion Draft — plus LAFC, who will be eligible to have a player selected.
