FIFAPro XI shortlist has been announced for the 2018/19 season.
Premier League is the most represented league, with Liverpool leading with seven nominations.
David de Gea who had a really average season in the goal for Manchester United is a questionable nomination.
Kevin De Bruyne missed most of the last season through injuries, but still made the cut.
There are also some of the names which didn’t make the list but certainly deserved to be on it.
Marco Reus the German Footballer of the year doesn’t make the list also Aubameyang who scored 31 goal in all competitions last season is another notable omission.
Another thing would be the inclusion of so many Real Madrid players with players like Marcelo, Modric having endured their worst season in the white shirt.
The only player from Real Madrid who actually performed somewhat consistently was Karim Benzema.
Here is the full list of nominees.
