[WPS] Four of the first five selections in the initial WPS International Draft were Brazilians. The Bay Area team selected former W-League star Formiga with the No. 1 pick. FIFA World Player of the Year Marta was taken by Los Angeles with the No. 3 pick. Daniela (St. Louis) and Cristiane (Chicago) were also taken in the first round.

Marta currently plays for Swedish champion Umea, while Daniela and Cristiane joined Linkopings FC in Sweden's Damallsvenskan this season.

Each WPS team drafted four international players, providing teams with the opportunity to begin a formal negotiation process with each selected player upon receiving permission from that player's current club.

For the 2009 season, teams will ultimately be allowed to sign up to five international players per roster.
