Nashville SC and Inter Miami CF, the newest expansion clubs in Major League Soccer, are set to draft five players each on Tuesday evening. They follow previous expansion teams FC Cincinnati and LAFC in 2017 and 2018, respectively. With the benefit of hindsight, these previous expansion clubs illustrated just how important the expansion draft can be.
In 2017, Los Angeles FC selected goalkeeper Tyler Miller, forwards Latif Blessing and Marco Urena, and defenders Jukka Raitala and Raheem Edwards. In 2018, FC Cincinnati selected forwards Darron Mattocks and Kei Kamara, midfielders Roland Lamah and Eric Alexander, and defender Hassan Ndam.
