Overview

Preseason

February

The New England Revolution started training camp in Foxboro at Gillette Stadium on Monday January 31, 2011. After two weeks of training in New England, the Revolution move camp down to Florida to begin playing games and getting ready for the 2011 MLS Season.

March

The New England Revolution opened up the 2011 MLS Season on the road with a 1-1 tie against the Los Angeles Galaxy at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California on March 20. The game was played in a heavy rainstorm with difficult field conditions. Shalrie Joseph scored the first goal of the year for the club in the 3rd minute of the game to give them the early 1-0 lead, but the score was later leveled on a Juninho strike from long distance. The Revolution made their 2011 home opener at Gillette Stadium on March 26 against the D.C. United. Two early goals in that game by Zack Schilawski and Joseph gave the Revolution a 2-0 lead which they held on to until stoppage time in the second half where Charlie Davies scored on a penalty. The Revolution held on to win the game 2-1, improving their win streak in home openers to 5 games.[1]

Allocation ranking

New England is in the #16 position in the MLS Allocation Ranking. The allocation ranking is the mechanism used to determine which MLS club has first priority to acquire a U.S. National Team player who signs with MLS after playing abroad, or a former MLS player who returns to the league after having gone to a club abroad for a transfer fee. New England started 2011 ranked #6 on the allocation list and used its ranking to acquire Benny Feilhaber. A ranking can be traded, provided that part of the compensation received in return is another club's ranking.[29]

International roster spots

New England has 8 international roster spots. Each club in Major League Soccer is allocated 8 international roster spots, which can be traded. There have been no New England trades involving international spots for the 2011 season. There is no limit on the number of international slots on each club's roster. The remaining roster slots must belong to domestic players. For clubs based in the United States, a domestic player is either a U.S. citizen, a permanent resident (green card holder) or the holder of other special status (e.g., refugee or asylum status).[29]

Future draft pick trades

Future picks acquired: 2013 MLS SuperDraft Round 2 pick acquired from D.C. United.
Future picks traded: None.
