The NWSL announced the protected and unprotected lists of all eight clubs in advance of Friday's NWSL Expansion Draft. The Houston Dash joined the National Women's Soccer League this season and they can select up to ten players in the Expansion Draft. No team can lose more than two players.

Teams that qualified for the 2013 playoffs, including FC Kansas City can only protect nine players from their current roster, other team can protect ten. Any club with more than two U.S. allocated players had to leave at least one U.S. allocated player unprotected. The Dash will be allowed to select no more than two U.S. allocated players, one Canadian allocated player and one Mexican allocated player.

Any surprises?
