FC Dallas midfielder Brek Shea continues his epic season nabbing a spot on the MLS Best XI. Shea is the fourth FC Dallas player named to MLS Best XI since 2008. The Best XI annually recognizes the League’s top 11 players at each position on the field.

Shea scored 11 goals and four assists this season while appearing in 31 games, starting 30. Shea made his U.S. Men’s National Team debut on October 12, 2010 and has one assist in six appearances this year.
