It’s that time of year, where the world’s best women’s soccer academy system drops 100+ prospects onto the world’s clubs. Fortunately, there is no longer a draft in NWSL forcing the best players to play somewhere they don’t want to play, so you as a fan can dream on anyone in this list! As always, this dashboard is put together by Paul Harvey and we thank him for his efforts.

Before we start, some notes.

The MLS Superdraft in many ways kicks off the offseason, as most teams have yet to make any real signings. Even though many of the draft picks will never play for their respective first teams, it still marks the beginning of a period of excitement and analysis, as hope springs eternal for every team in MLS.

We here at ASA are lucky enough to be given a ballot from MLS to vote on all the major awards. We take such an honour very seriously, as a chance to vote for the best players analytically. By the numbers. This is that ballot.

I’m not gonna lie, I wrote the Western Conference and I liked it. I liked it so damn much that I didn’t want to write about the Eastern Conference and you know why, because there is so much more going on. It’s twice as deep and a mile wide.

But what the hell, Kieran wants both halves and what Kieran wants, Kieran gets. Just like the Supernatural theme I went with in the first half of this, it has dragged on far longer than it should have and while most of it doesn’t work just be kind to me for old time sake.

This year has been … wild. I’m not even just talking about the MLS season. Just within ASA itself it’s been wild and once or twice it’s been exactly that meme between Liz lemon and Jack Donaghy on 30 Rock where Liz looks at Jack and sighs exasperated saying “what a week, huh” and Jack casually strolls away while saying “Lemon, it’s Wednesday”.
