How will MLS expansion impact NYCFC?

This Tuesday, December 13, the MLS Expansion Draft will be in effect three days after the MLS Cup Champion is crowned. The way it works this time around is all twenty MLS Clubs will be allowed to protect eleven players. Each club will have five unprotected players for the two expansion teams, first Atlanta United FC followed by Minnesota United FC will rotate picks until they have selected the maximum one player from each of the twenty teams. A smaller pool to work with as opposed to 2014 when ten unprotected players were available per team.
