Joao Plata is a Wild Mary!

In the first round of the BSL draft, Cumberland AC took Joao Plata. Tim Sherwood said, "We love this guy, nicknamed during trials 'Pocket Forward' because he's so small you can just put him in your pocket. That plays to his advantage, because he's strong and quick. We expect to run up the numbers with Plata leading the attack."

Re-Entry Player

Previous Re-Entry post has been rescinded, talks broke down.

Designated Players Retention Players 2017

Cumberland Athletic Club's braintrust has analyzed the opportunities and costs for the 2017 season and determined to expend the funds for a 3rd DP spot and will also keep a Retention Player.
