FIFA have published the player ranking in the FIFA FIFPro World 11 selection and the result is… a bit surprising.
The biggest surprise comes in the midfield where Bernardo Silva only ranks 6th behind Sergio Busquets.
Liverpool's Champions League-winning full-back duo Alexander-Arnold and Robertson only sit 6th and 7th in the defence.
Check the full ranking per position below:
Goalkeepers
Alisson, Ter Stegen, De Gea, Ederson, Oblak
Defenders
Van Dijk, Ramos, Marcelo, De Ligt, Marcelo, Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Alba, Pique, Thiago Silva, Walker, Varane, Koulibaly, Kimmich, Chiellini, Carvajal, Laporte, Godin, Cancelo, Sandro
Midfielders
De Jong, Modric, Hazard, Kante, Busquets, Bernardo Silva, Pogba, De Bruyne, Kroos, Rakitic, Arthur, Vidal, Casemiro, Eriksen, Tadic
Forwards

Marcelo wasnt even in Copa America with Brazil and dint win any single trophy plus his performance was not upto the level so how on earth is he there ahead of Trent Arnold??!! Modric ahead of Bernardo Silva who has won 5 Trophies??!! Nobody from Tottenham??! Ramos ahead of De Ligt??Except for Alisson,Van Dijk,Messi and Cristiano rest all look doubtful!!! Fifa has to give a proper explanation for this!!

Voting by Van Dijk: 1- Messi 2- Salah 3- Mane Even though Messi was his main competitor but still he voted for Lèo.What a classy act!👏 Got my respect ♥️

I still can't believe Marcelo and Ramos are the team when the had the a fucking bad season. Bernardo Silva has stats and trophies to back it up and yet gets left outside. sometimes life is unfair

Seriously, the inclusion of Modric, Marcelo and Ramos are ridiculous. Marcelo was so terrible that Regilion was preferred to him as left back under Solari. Ramos and his center pair conceded more goals than almost any team I can think of. Modric was simply not fit enough since he was marketed to win this award. What in God's name are they doing in Fifpro 11?

this fifa pro is rubbish, u just list popular players and pick an eleven from dem. where is Nicolas tagliafico, ziyech, rose. rubbish. modric, kroos, marcelo and ramos shouldn't be in dis list and hazard shouldn't have made d 11. in my opinion d fifpro is a disappointment to football. like when dey nominated David Luiz in d 11 couple of years back and some other questionable nominations

If Ronaldo had performed more than he did last season he would have won this Award, and Messi won it over Van Dijk because of popularity not because he performed better than VVD, that's why Busquet is also above Bernardo Silva in the rankings
