No Premier League player, as Real Madrid, Barcelona stars dominate FIFA Team of the Year

There were no Premier League players included as FIFA named its stand-out FIFPro World XI at their awards ceremony in Zurich on Monday.

In fact, only one player outside Barcelona or Real Madrid was picked – Bayern Munich goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer.

Barca and Madrid had five players each in FIFA’s Team of the Year.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the Best Player prize, was named in attack alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in a 4-3-3 formation.

Lucas Modrid, Toni Kroos and Andres Iniesta take their places in midfield, while the four defenders are Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Sergio Ramos and Marcelo.
