Major League Soccer announced updates to the league’s rules and regulations on Friday, bringing in five new changes to the way teams are allowed to construct their rosters.
Allocation Order Eliminated
Most long-suffering MLS roster nerds were probably already aware that the league eschewed the Allocation Ranking List and Order for this year, but Friday’s announcement formalized the change.
The Allocation Order was previously a mechanism designed to limit one club from signing a host of marquee American players, like U.S. Men’s National Team regulars or certain high-profile players that were sold outside the league.
