It has been 364 days since Minnesota United chose its first five players in the 2016 MLS Expansion Draft. Almost a full year later, it is now time for the new, new guys, Los Angeles FC, to do the same on December 12.
As always, LAFC will get their choice of players from the existing 22 MLS teams, but there are safeguards in effect to protect players they wish to stay on the teams’ rosters.
Protected Players
- Each MLS team can protect 11 players from its senior, supplement, and reserve rosters.
