Someone care to explain why the Fifpro first 11 has zero city players, and 3 Madrid players
Ramos, Modric and Marcelo?
They're telling me Marcelo was better than Robertson last year?

And why shoehorn Ramos instead of just making Trent the RB?
How Sway

Players vote on FIFPro World XI. And its pick 4 defenders pick 3 midfielders and pick 3 forwards. It's not based on actual formation in a 4-3-3 formation.

A lot of the voting seems to reputation based. Dani Alves finished 5th among defenders in voting. That's not right at all.

Klopp article in players tribune is dope. I can understand why his players like him.

Ajax did give them the business.

The real story is Mane getting higher rating than Salah.

Mane isn't the sexy choice nor does he get the hype that his 2 teammates get. Considering that Salah profile is much higher than Manes, it was nice to see his hard work being appreciate by his peers. Even if the voting is tactical.

Thats more common when its players voting for each other. They dont really care about hype as much as journalists and the media

Tbh and I said it at the time. Salah got exposed when Liverpool beat Barca without him.
