Who should the Loons protect in the Expansion Draft?

In December, an MLS Expansion Draft will take place. Each club will get to protect 11 players on their roster to save them from being selected. LAFC will get to draft 5 of the players who were left unprotected by their club. So who should the Loons protect? Note: Abu Danladi is automatically protected as a Generation Adidas player.

Francisco Calvo- Arguably the Loons’ best player, and certainly the best defender. This is really a no-brainer.

Christian Ramirez- Another no-brainer, Ramirez scored 14 goals in his first season in MLS and would be chosen if left unprotected.
