Many fantasy football leagues have moved to an auction-style instead of a draft.

Wonder if the other pro leagues will be watching how this goes.

I think they've had some players spurn NWSL and go elsewhere because they don't

its a nice perk for rank-and-file players in a league that regular players don't

Does the MLS still do a draft?

Yes they still have a draft for college players, MLS also still has trades

They also have very restrictive home-grown talent rules -

This generally hurts the small market teams as the top and best players will

yes but for NWSL where the average player doesn't make that much, are the NWSL
