Quang Duong Picked 7th as MLP Announces Premier Level Free Agency Draft

The MLP Premier Level Free Agency Draft took place on 2 March 2025, with the16 Premier Level teams will filling out their 2025 season rosters via a dynamic-bidding selection process. It was the same process used for the 2024 Premier Level Draft, with Teams bidding for draft slots and then selecting from the pool of available players. There is no spending cap for the Drafts.

Premier Level teams will have rosters of six (three males, three females). On Feb. 16, all teams had to declare their player keepers, who were carried over from 2024 (there were some eligibility requirements) – and drop at least one player. A total of 40 Premier players were kept and all kept players must slot into a team’s top four roster spots. All teams will have to fill out their first four (4) roster slots during the Draft before bench players are able to be selected.

That means a total of 56 selections will be made in the Premier Free Agency Draft (24 spots to fill out starting fours for all 16 teams, then 32 more picks to build out bench players).

Here are the Premier Free Agency Draft pick results as of 3 March 2025:
