Besler was selected to the 26-player MLS All-Star gameday roster Sunday, a presumptive decision after he was part of the fan vote unveiled earlier this month.
Bayern Munich, Roma, Chelsea and Manchester United have also played in the All-Star game over the past few years.
Farrell holds a special place in New England history as he is the first-ever number one pick in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft. Bingham holds a 23-20-15 career record with 16 shutouts.
Vincent, a Valencia, Calif., native, earned his first senior worldwide cap for the United States as a second half substitution in a 1-0 win over Canada on February 5, 2016.
Dempsey, who has scored three goals and added an assist in 12 league games this season, was chosen by All-Star Game coach Dominic Kinnear – while taking into consideration the fan and player voting.
As expected, USA national team players were well represented, led by Seattle forward Clint Dempsey, Portland Timbers midfielder Darlington Nagbe, Sporting Kansas City defender Matt Besler and Colorado’s Jermaine Jones, who said he might not play because of a leg injury.
