Real Salt Lake’s list of players eligible to be selected in the 2022 MLS Expansion Draft has been released, with few surprises on that list.
Rather than release a list of players protected, as in years past, Major League Soccer released a list of players eligible for selection.
- Toni Datkoviu0107
- Everton Luiz
- Douglas Martinez
- Justin Meram
- Ashtone Morgan
- Justin Portillo
- Noah Powder
- Andrew Putna
- Jeizon Ramirez
- Donny Toia
That leaves RSL’s protected list looking somewhat as follows, with homegrown players italicized and players that would likely require intentional selection bolded:
- Goalkeepers (3): Jeff Dewsnup, Zac MacMath, David Ochoa
- Defenders (8): Andrew Brody, Toni Datkovic, Zack Farnsworth, Justen Glad, Bret Halsey, Aaron Herrera, Erik Holt, Marcelo Silva
- Midfielders (4): Nick Besler, Maikel Chang, Damir Kreilach, Pablo Ruiz
- Forwards (5): Bode Davis, Chris Garcia, Jonathan Menendez, Rubio Rubin, Bobby Wood
With eleven players bolded here, that seems the most likely list.
