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.
