Here at MLS Multiplex, we have gone back through the statistics, the awards won, the games played, the goals scored and the shutouts made to work out who we think the best five players in the seven major positions are in Major League Soccer history.
We have gone through the goalkeepers, full-backs and centre-backs already, and we will move on to the attacking midfielders, wingers and strikers in the days to come, but this piece focuses on the central midfielders.
Like several positional groups in this series, there will be some controversy and some talk about which position certain players may be placed into.
