Virgil van Dijk has created history by becoming the first defender to have a 99 rated card on FIFA game, after being named in the FUT Team of the Year.

The Liverpool defender made history last year when he became the first defender to be named as UEFA's Men's Player of the Year and it was a surprise when he didn't add the FIFA and Ballon d'Or to his award cabinet.

However he has been voted by fans and gamers in the FIFA 20 Ultimate Team 'Team of the Year' and that's earned him an upgraded card, the first 99 rated card for a defender.

Here are Virgil Van Dijk's face card stats for his 99 rated TOTY card:

88 Pace

90 Dribbling

80 Shooting

99 Defending

92 Passing

98 Physical

The FUT 'TOTY' was voted for by fans for the first time this year and, including Van Dijk, European champions Liverpool players dominated the team.
