Up top, the league's top two goal-scorers, statistically, from the regular season, FC Dallas striker Jeff Cunningham and Colorado Rapids forward Conor Casey earned the honor.

Six members of the 2009 Best XI are prior recipients of the honor, while five have been named to the squad for the first time. The members received the most votes from the media, MLS players and MLS coaches and general managers.
