Midfielders Morgan Brian and Carli Lloyd will remain allocated players for the 2016 NWSL season, U.S. Soccer announced today.
Allocated players are determined by their respective federation, and their salaries do not count against the salary cap. Lloyd has been allocated by U.S. Soccer since the league’s inception, and Brian was added to the allocation list after being drafted by the Dash in the 2015 NWSL College Draft. The NWSL will have further announcements regarding the official list of allocated players from the Canadian Soccer Association and Federation of Mexican Football in the coming days.
