Revs Move Up in Allocation Rankings Following Swap w/ SJ
- Updated: July 3, 2017
It appears the Revolution front office is gearing up to make splash during the transfer window.
With the league’s summer transfer window opening on Jul. 10, the Revolution improved their positioning in the allocation rankings on Monday after acquiring the second overall spot from the San Jose Earthquakes for the fifth spot and $175,000 worth of General Allocation Money (GAM).
Additionally, New England will also receive either $175,000 in Targeted Allocation Money (TAM) or $100,000 in GAM and $75,000 in TAM from San Jose in January 2018.
The Allocation Process is the mechanism used to determine which MLS Club has first priority to acquire a player listed on the Allocation Ranking List. The list consists of (i) select U.S. Men’s National Team players, (ii) elite youth U.S. National Team players, or (iii) former MLS players returning to MLS after joining a non-MLS club for a transfer fee greater than $500,000.
Generally, the Allocation Ranking List is updated once a year on the day after the conclusion of the MLS regular season. The Allocation Ranking List is only edited during the year if a player is transferred out of the league or if a top youth national team player is added to the list.
The Allocation Ranking Order is set by taking the reverse order of the club’s standings at the end of each MLS Season, taking playoff performance into account, with the new expansion clubs at the top of the order.
Once the club uses its allocation ranking to acquire a player, it drops to the bottom of the list. A ranking can be traded, provided that part of the compensation received in return is the other club’s ranking. At all times, each club is assigned one ranking. The rankings reset at the end of each MLS League season.
The summer window will run from Jul. 10 through Aug. 9.
The last time the Revolution made a major summertime signing, they acquired U.S. international Jermaine Jones in Aug. 2014 for a club record $4.7 million over 18 months.
