Major League Soccer today announced the list of players available for selection in the 2016 Expansion Draft. The Expansion Draft will provide an opportunity for expansion clubs Atlanta United and Minnesota United FC to select up to five players each from the list of 259 available players. Atlanta United will have the first selection in the Expansion Draft.
The 2016 Expansion Draft will be streamed live on MLSsoccer.com, tomorrow, December 13, beginning at 2 p.m. ET.
Each current MLS club had the opportunity to protect 11 players from their 2016 roster. Generation adidas players (who did not graduate at the end of the 2016 season) and Homegrown Players on a club’s off-budget roster are automatically protected and do not count against a team’s 11 protected roster spots.
