Voting for the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star game is underway. Can’t decide on who to vote for? Here are five of the league's top midfielders for your consideration.
Michael Bradley | Toronto FC
Playing further up the field recently, Bradley has helped unlock the league's best player so far in 2015, Sebastian Giovinco. Bradley has also been making more tackles (2.7 per 90 minutes in 2015/2 in 2014) and interceptions (2/1.6) this season compared to 2014 and is also collecting more recoveries in 2015 (8.6/8.1).
Benny Feilhaber | Sporting Kansas City
After a strong 2014, Feilhaber has upped his game to yet another level this year. He has been the heartbeat of a Sporting Kansas City team that has made a seamless transition to the Western Conference. He is tied for the league lead in assists with seven and is also among the league leaders in chances created, recoveries and tackles.
Ethan Finlay | Columbus Crew SC
It has been an uneven year in Columbus, but Finlay is one player who has started off well. The right winger is tied with Feilhaber for the league lead in assists and has toughed it out over the past couple weeks, playing with a broken toe.
Perry Kitchen | D.C. United
The 23-year-old received his first call-up to the US national team back in January and has shown that he deserves more in the coming months. Always staunch defensively, Kitchen has improved his vision and passing skills, making him one of the top defensive midfielders in the league.
Dax McCarty | New York Red Bulls
The Ginger Ninja has had a career year in 2015. The diminutive defensive midfielder has fit into Jesse Marsch's system perfectly, as he is the fulcrum of the defensive unit and the player that starts the attack. He is currently second in the league in usage rate (passes per 90 minutes divided by team passes per 90 minutes).
