As of July 29, 2015Note: Flags indicate national team as defined underFIFA eligibility rules; some limited exceptions apply. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
Notes:
The league commissionerDon Garber used his two picks to select two players who had never played a single minute in MLS at the time of selection in the two former England internationalsSteven Gerrard andFrank Lampard who had only officially joined the league on July 8. This provoked outrage from fans, the media and other players, the league eventually agreed to select two extra players to be given all-star bonuses.[9][10][11][12]
The league's top scorer,Kei Kamara, was omitted from the Fan XI and responded by saying "It's simple as it goes: you're either aU.S. national team player or you're aDP to be on there. I'm neither one of those. If I get called up, I'll be lucky." The top 10 in the fan vote included 8 players who have represented the US national team alongsideKaká andDavid Villa withNigerian internationalObafemi Martins also being selected via virtual performances inFIFA 15.[13][14]
