I wasn’t going to make this thread with us still in playoffs, but I just realized it’s under one month away (November 19th).

Miami and Nashville joining this year. They get to pick 5 players each from any MLS team. Each MLS team can protect 12 players (DP’s must be protected). If either Nashville or Miami take someone from us, both can no longer take another player from TFC.

DC United, NY Red Bulls, Houston, Vancouver, and Dallas all are exempt from this draft because they had players selected by Cincinnati last year. So we are most likely losing someone.

Altidore
Pozuelo
Auro
Delgado
Endoh
Gallardo
Gonzalez
Laryea
Mavinga
Osorio
Westberg
Morrow

If TFC don’t win the MLS Cup, Bradley’s option can be declined (Just thought of this. This is probably why TFC haven’t signed Bradley yet. So they don’t have to protect him).

Benezet is on loan. Don’t have to protect him.

Apparently Bono is still Generation Adidas. Even if he isn’t, we’re hoping someone takes him on that money.

Dorsey is Generation Adidas

Shaffelburg is auto protected

The only one I’m not sure is/isn’t is Liam Fraser.

So that leaves unprotected:
Zavaleta
Telfer
Patterson-Sewell
Mullins
Morgan
Moor
Deleon
Ciman
Fraser (potentially)

From that list, the only two that are enticing are Deleon and Fraser (id consider protecting him if we have too).

Who’s your protected 12?
