David Villa Named to 2017 All Star Team

Not going to comment on the Fan XI, because that's really not about how talented players are, but what fans stuff the ballots the most.

But in the coach's picks, I don't understand the Parkhurst and dos Santos selections, and honestly think Frei is a bit overrated (though still a decent keeper, but why not Melia?)

I haven't thought much through the rest of the picks and if they would all be there, because for the most part, they seem deserving. But I most definitely wouldn't include Parkhurst (not that he would be my choice, but Gonzalez-Pirez on the same team is a better CB) or dos Santos (I know these are different positions, so not a like for like, but where is Alessandrini?).

First. This probably didn't need it's own thread. And we know David Villa was selected because the Fax XI was announced earlier.

And to respond. Chanot was not of the 8 NYCFC players on the ballot so he could not be chosen.

We can discuss the MLS All Star roster in the MLS All Star thread.
