About the All-Star Fan XI
To create the fan ballot, media members nominated a total of 160 players. Ten players – one goalkeeper, three defenders, four midfielders and two forwards – with the highest combined votes were named to the All-Star Fan XI.
The 11th player – a forward – was determined by the AT&T/EA SPORTS™ “More Than a Vote” Challenge. Fans had the opportunity to vote one forward into the 2016 AT&T MLS All-Star Game by scoring goals in EA SPORTS FIFA 16 on Xbox One, PlayStation®4, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system, and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. The forward with the most votes – one goal equals one vote – will occupy the final forward spot on the All-Star Fan XI.
