MLS SuperDraft







2014 MLS SuperDraft logo.png

The MLS SuperDraft is an annual event, taking place in January of each year, in which the teams of Major League Soccer select players who have graduated from college or otherwise been signed by the league. The SuperDraft was first instituted in 2000, as a combination of the MLS College Draft, in which players having graduated from college were selected, and the MLS Supplemental Draft, in which all other players were chosen. The draft is divided into four rounds in which each club has a selection, the order of which is determined by a combination of the teams' playoff and regular season positions, with the last placed team (or expansion teams) getting the first pick.

History


The MLS SuperDraft was created by merging the original Supplemental Draft with the now-defunct College Draft. Originally created to ensure strict parity in the league, the draft was designed to allow weaker clubs to develop their rosters. The first draft was held in 2000, and since then has become the flagship draft of the league. Recently, the draft has been considered to be secondary to youth academies.[1][2][3]



Eligible players


Only players from the American college sports system (e.g., the NCAA and the NAIA) are eligible to be drafted. Canadian U Sports men's soccer players are not included, despite numerous proposals and discussions in 2010[4] and 2012.[5]



Rules of Draft Selection


The draft process for the SuperDraft closely resembles the NFL Draft. Below is the process for the 2019 MLS SuperDraft:



  1. Any expansion club automatically gets the first pick; should there be two expansion teams, a coin toss determines who picks first in the SuperDraft and who picks first in the expansion draft.

  2. Teams that did not make the playoffs are ordered by their regular-season record.

  3. Teams that made the MLS Cup Playoffs are then ordered by which round of the playoffs they are eliminated.

  4. The winners of the MLS Cup are given the last selection, and the losers the penultimate selection.

  5. Remaining ties are broken by the goal differential, goals scored, goals conceded, and then the flip of a coin.
