Going with a 3 - 4 - 3

Goalie - Tony Meola
Reserves - Kevin Hartman

Defenders - Eddie Pope, Jeff Agoos, Toney Sanneh
Reserves - Marco Balboa, Alexi Lalas, Mike Petke

Midfield - Carlos Valderrama, Jason Kreis, Preki, Mario Etcheverry(saw him in 94WC and was glad to see him playing on United)
Reserves - Steve Ralston, Cobi Jones, Chris Henderson, Clint Mathis

Forward - Jamie Moreno, Brian McBride, Ante Razov
Reserves - Jeff Cunningham, Taylor Twellman, Carols Ruiz

Sorry, don't have time for positions, formation, etc....but I love your question, and here's my best 11 MLS players of all time:


Hugo Sanchez
Tim Howard
Landon Donovan
Alexi Lalas
Cobi Jones
Brian McBride
Claudio Reyna
Carlos Valderama
Youri Djorkaeff
Eric Wynalda
Preki

This probably reflects my personal preference than objective evaluation - these are players whose game I have enjoyed the most since the beginning.

3-5-2
In goal: Zach Thornton
Defense:
Lubos Kubik - I loved those Chicago teams
Carlos Bocanegra
Jimmy Conrad - probably the guy I like the most today

Midfield:
Peter Nowak - the key to the great Fire teams
Terry Cooke - each time he touches the ball smth good happens
Preki - maestro
Clint Dempsey - always imaginative
Damarcus Beasley - speed demon, always fun while in MLS

Forwards:
Eddie Johnson - saw him this season live - man among boys at times.
Taylor Twellman - if Arena took him to Germany, US would've made it to 2nd round

Subs:
Eddie Pope
Carlos Llamosa
Marcelo Balboa
Chris Armas - in his prime a great defensive stopper, breaking up attacks in the middle
Christian Gomez - the creator
Dema Kovalenko - probably one of my bigger favorites
Roberto Donadoni
Landon Donovan - he's very good, I am not a big fan though. He should be playing in Europe
Emilio - every time I see this guy I am amazed.
J.P. Angel - tearing up the league right now
Tim Howard

MLS is still in its infancy to pick a good allstar team
