The league on Friday put out their schedule of events during the offseason, the big event being the 2018 MLS Expansion Draft on Dec 11. Cincinatti who lost their last game facing NYRBII will be in the same division this coming season. In the expansion draft they will select a maximum of 5 current MLS players in order to build the core of their team, they have already signed a few players for the coming season. These selections are to be made live at 2 p.m. ET on MLSsoccer.com in a special expansion draft show. To lessen the blow of LAFC in the draft last year, any teams that lost players to them will lose no players in this draft, but LAFC will have their players exposed. With teams not exposed to the draft, Cincy will get more allocation money. On Dec 10, all players eligible will be put out the day before the draft.
