SAN JOSE, Calif. — When determining the San Jose Earthquakes Best XI from 2010-2019, the conversation begins with one very obvious choice: forward Chris Wondolowski.

No doubt, Wondolowski is the ’10s most valuable player.
The tough choices arise when filling out the remaining ten players on the all-decade squad. Who among the many dozens of players that shared the same orbit as Wondolowski deserve the honor?
