Official Expansion Draft Discussion

[doctorhoosier]

No they can't. It's like the Premier League. You can only use players who are registered as part of your squad.

Yes, and it's also problematic because each one of the City loanees will take an international spot. If the actual rules are anything like Football Manager, we only get 8.

You're going to want to use most of those for guys who are going to be here long-term, in my view, so if I'm building a team to win MLS, I'm very cautious with taking on too many City loanees.

Speaking of the draft Wednesday, I bet Colubus and maybe DC have no-pick agreements in place with NYCFC now.

Not a whole lot of attractive names that I see on there, but then again I don't know a lot of Rapids players and they are a pretty terrible club anyway...

 

[USAfan6]

Give me Fagundez....

 

[whill4]

AJ Soares unprotected. Our starting back line could probably be just about complete with him.

 

[einwindir]

I'd like to seeDiego Fagundez and Peguy Luyindula.

 

[franchise646]

I'll Take Degio Faguundez with our fist pick and not bat an eyelash.

 

[MagnusPax]

AJ Soares unprotected. Our starting back line could probably be just about complete with him.

Reportedly he wants to go overseas.

Kind of surprised to see Alan Gordon unprotected. Always loved his play with Quakes and he had a good year since transferring to LA this year. Just a good dude in general.

The Quakes protecting Francis over someone like Cato or Pierazzi is a head scratcher too.

 

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

Patrick Mullins available, that would be awesome. Some good players available

 

[franchise646]

Revs president just tweet Diego can't be taken by the NYC or Orlando due to them making a trade with the team.

 

[whill4]

So I'd say it's safe to assume we'll be going after someone from RSL. From that list who would you guys want? I think Grabavoy would be a very nice pick up.

Reportedly he wants to go overseas.

Makes sense. I was surprised to see him unprotected.

Damnit....

I thought that seemed too good to be true. I was actually under the impression that HG players couldn't be selected during the expansion draft...

 

[franchise646]

Well all my fellow Latinos know what I mean when I say this... Coño.

Grabavoy and Findley or maybe Velasquez.
