After last week’s announcement that FC Cincinnati would be selecting five players in another Expansion Draft on December 11, the thought quickly shifted to who might FC Dallas have to save this year.
In years past, teams have to protect 11 players (Generation adidas players and Homegrown on the supplemental roster are automatically protected). Only one player from each team can be selected in the five-round draft.
So who should FC Dallas protect this year?
- Pablo Aranguiz
- Dominque Badji
- Jesse Gonzalez
- Marquinhos Pedroso
- Maxi Urruti
Auto-protected:
- Jesus Ferriera (HGP)
Note: Chris Richards and Thomas Roberts are signed as HGPs but they weren’t on the 2018 roster, so they’re exempt and are not eligible.
