Since the dawn of the Designated Player rule in Major League Soccer and the evolution of that rule to include younger players, FC Dallas has always looked for that next young player that can make an impact on their roster. Whether it was Fabian Castillo, Carlos Gruezo, Mauro Diaz, Santiago Mosquera or ones that never truly worked out like Anibal Chala or Pablo Aranguiz, the club has tried various ways to go younger with their bigger signings.
Now MLS is set to introduce a new rule that will likely radically change how the team can spend on younger players with the new U-22 initiative that is set to debut.
