-- Do NOT add new players before their signing is officially announced by the club |
|||
-- and do NOT assign unreferenced squad numbers as well. |
|||
-- Do NOT create articles for new draft picks until they make either their NASL or US Open Cup debut, and do not add red wikilinks to these players as it prevents the creation of articles by people who do not understand the WP:FOOTY notability guidelines |
|||
– Players with international caps should NOT be bolded – as per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/Clubs |
|||
– This is Wikipedia, not a football gazette. |
|||
– Any unconfirmed and unsourced signing/transfer will be reverted at sight. |
