Recommended Posts

The Major League Soccer roster rules has just been changed from max 18 senior and 10 development contracts (max 28 players overall) to max 20 Senior and max 4 development contracts (max 24 overall). Will these changes be added to the 9.0.3 patch?

the reserve leagues have been eliminated too.

"With regard to on-field considerations, the league has received considerable criticism about roster sizes and overscheduling in the last year, and to that end, Garber outlined several changes. The number of slots for developmental players has been reduced from 10 to four, while teams can now carry between 18 and 20 senior roster players. The hope is that teams involved in international competition will be better able to manage the playing demands that come from participating in those tournaments.

The changes do come at a cost. With fewer developmental players on a given roster, the reserve league has been eliminated, with the savings in salary expected to be applied to other members of the roster, as well as each team's youth academy."
