On Thursday, FC Dallas and the rest of Major League Soccer will reveal their (what feels like an annual thing) Expansion Draft protection lists for Friday’s Expansion Draft with newcomers St. Louis SC.
FC Dallas will have to protect 12 players for Friday’s draft. Thanks to how the roster has been built over the years, a good chunk of the roster will be exempt from this process.
Generation adidas players who have not graduated and Homegrown Players (players 25 years old and under in the year in which the Expansion Draft takes place) on a club’s Roster at the end of the 2022 MLS Season are automatically protected.
