The '''2011 Chivas USA season''' was the club's seventh year of existence, as well as their seventh season in [Major League Soccer](/source/Major_League_Soccer), and their seventh consecutive season in the top-flight of American soccer.

== Overview ==

===February===
Chivas USA signed New Zealand internationals [Andrew Boyens](/source/Andrew_Boyens) and [Simon Elliott](/source/Simon_Elliott) on February 9. Six days later the club acquired U.S. defender [Heath Pearce](/source/Heath_Pearce) from [FC Dallas](/source/FC_Dallas) in exchange for allocation money.

=== Allocation ranking ===
Chivas USA is in the #1 position in the [MLS Allocation Ranking](/source/2011_Major_League_Soccer_season). The allocation ranking is the mechanism used to determine which MLS club has first priority to acquire a [U.S. National Team](/source/United_States_men's_national_soccer_team) player who signs with MLS after playing abroad, or a former MLS player who returns to the league after having gone to a club abroad for a transfer fee. A ranking can be traded, provided that part of the compensation received in return is another club's ranking.<ref name="mlssoccer1">{{cite web|url=http://www.mlssoccer.com/2011-mls-roster-rules |title = 2011 MLS Roster Rules {{!}} Major League Soccer  |access-date=March 27, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110430101816/http://www.mlssoccer.com/2011-mls-roster-rules |archive-date=April 30, 2011 }}</ref>

=== International roster spots ===
It is believed that Chivas USA possesses 8 international roster spots. Each club in Major League Soccer is allocated 8 international roster spots, which can be traded. Chivas USA dealt one slot to [Vancouver Whitecaps](/source/Vancouver_Whitecaps_FC_(MLS)) on November 24, 2010, for use in the 2011 season.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.cdchivasusa.com/news/2010/11/chivas-usa-trades-alan-gordon-and-alejandro-moreno-vancouver |title = Chivas USA trades for Alan Gordon and Alejandro Moreno from Vancouver {{!}} Chivas USA  |access-date=December 27, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111008024127/http://www.cdchivasusa.com/news/2010/11/chivas-usa-trades-alan-gordon-and-alejandro-moreno-vancouver |archive-date=October 8, 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The club also permanently acquired one spot in a trade with [Real Salt Lake](/source/Real_Salt_Lake) on November 24, 2004.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=3104167 |title = Club Deportivo Chivas USA acquires sixth youth international slot|date = November 24, 2004}}</ref> There is no limit on the number of international slots on each club's roster. The remaining roster slots must belong to domestic players. For clubs based in the United States, a domestic player is either a U.S. citizen, a permanent resident (green card holder) or the holder of other special status (e.g., refugee or asylum status).<ref name="mlssoccer1"/>
