FC Dallas: Ballers on a Budget (Except for a Few)
Ever wondered how much your favorite FC Dallas players rake in? Enough to buy a whole lot of Fritos chili cheese pie, that's for sure. But do they pull in Cristiano Ronaldo kind of cash, or are they more like, high school teacher with a side hustle kind of salary? Let's dive into the not-so-seedy underbelly of FC Dallas finances.
The Big Kahunas: Designated Players (DPs)
We'll start with the rockstars, the headliners, the guys with enough swagger to walk on sunshine: FC Dallas' Designated Players (DPs). These are the big earners, the ones who can afford to both buy and fill a kiddie pool with nacho cheese (because, let's be honest, who only wants to dip?). Their salaries are bold and beautiful, just like their footwork.
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.
- Jes�s Ferreira: This homegrown hero is living the dream, raking in a cool $1.65 million a year. That's enough to buy a decent house in Frisco, assuming said house isn't made entirely of solid gold.
- Paul Arriola & Alan Velasco: These two attacking threats aren't far behind, each pocketing around $1.5 million annually. Colour us impressed!
The Middle Class Milieu: Non-DP Standouts
Now we get to the rest of the squad, the guys who hustle just as hard but maybe don't have quite the same Hollywood agent. Their salaries are a bit more like, "Hey, that's a nice new car you got there!" but definitely not "I'm buying this entire stadium and converting it into a giant ball pit" kind of money.
QuickTip: Slow scrolling helps comprehension.
- Sebastian Lletget: This midfield maestro brings in a respectable $700,000 a year. Enough to live comfortably, but maybe not enough to justify a private jet for every away game.
- The Rest of the Crew: Salaries for other players can vary greatly depending on experience, position, and whether they've mastered the art of the perfectly timed slide tackle.
So, How Much Does the Average FC Dallas Player Make?

This is where things get tricky. Unlike some other leagues, MLS salaries are a bit like a magician's hat – full of surprises! There's no single, definitive answer. However, some resources suggest that non-DP players on the senior roster can make anywhere from $65,000 to well over $600,000 a year.

The Moral of the Story?
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
Whether they're pulling in DP dough or hustling on a more modest salary, FC Dallas players dedicate themselves to bringing home the win (and hopefully some entertaining moments along the way). So next time you're cheering them on, remember: these guys put their all on the field, regardless of how many zeroes are in their paycheck. And hey, if they score a game-winning goal, maybe they'll spring for the post-game nachos!
