We’re less than two months away from the start of the 2018 MLS season and there is plenty of roster construction still to be done. This month, MLS will host its 19th annual SuperDraft which will begin on Friday, Jan. 19 in Philadelphia, PA at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in conjunction with the United Soccer Coaches convention.
Overview
In contrast to the league’s other various player acquisition methods and drafts, the SuperDraft very closely resembles that of any other American professional sports draft. The player pool primarily consists of players who have just recently finished their NCAA career or players who have decided to forego their college eligibility to become professionals.
