Sounders FC midfielder Freddie Ljungberg was voted to Major League Soccer's Best XI.
The Best XI is a postseason award that recognizes the league's top 11 players at each position. Ljungberg, one of four MLS All-Stars representing Sounders FC in its inaugural season, was the club's lone honoree.
Ljungberg, a native of Sweden who became a star in the English Premier League with Arsenal, signed to become Sounders FC's designated player last fall.
Ljungberg led Seattle with nine assists and scored two goals. Ljungberg was named an MLS All-Star, was MLS player of the month for October and was a finalist for MLS newcomer of the year (which was awarded to teammate Fredy Montero).
