Are you looking for an empty value? So, it will be popluated as the first thing in the drop down. Then you can like this,

$builder->add('name', null, array(
    'required'   => false,
    'empty_data' => 'John Doe',
));

https://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/forms/types/entity.html#empty-data

If you meant the Label (a text next to the drop down), use this

$builder->add('users', EntityType::class, array(
    'class' => User::class,
    'query_builder' => function (EntityRepository $er) {
        return $er->createQueryBuilder('u')
            ->orderBy('u.username', 'ASC');
    },
    'choice_label' => 'username',
));
