Fifa 20 fans have been voting for their team of the year and the final selections have now been released. The votes have taken place at the mid-point of the 2020/21 season and it is likely that the previous season that ended at the start of the summer has influenced the votes. With that said, the players who have made the starting eleven of the team of the year shouldn't surprise players too much.
Fifa 20 has faced criticism and controversy since its release and this is partly due to a lack of evolution from its predecessor and an increasing focus on online gameplay. With that said, the game is still home to all soccer stars and the best place to create a team of all-star players. Many player favorites have been included in this list and the Team of the Year is a formidable selection of stars.
The list below showcases stars from the likes of Liverpool FC, Juventus, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain FC amongst others. All the players featured have managed to get their hands on some form of silverware in the last year, after all, great players win trophies. Interestingly, Eden Hazard, the cover star of Fifa 20 has struggled in the last season and has not been voted into the Team of the Year. The Team of the Year is:
- Alisson Becker
- Andrew Robertson
- Virgil van Dijk
- Matthijs de Ligt
- Trent Alexander-Arnold
- Frenkie de Jong
- Kevin De Bruyne
- N'Golo Kanté
- Kylian Mbappé
- Sadio Mané
- Lionel Messi
Many won't be surprised to see a team that is dominated by Liverpool players, they won the Champions League last year and already have a 13 point lead in the Premier League with a game in-hand. Youngsters from Ajax de Ligt and De Jong who have since moved to bigger clubs are also featured in this list as they have continued their incredible form. These players will undoubtedly be the highlight of any Ultimate Team, and unsurprisingly EA appears to be investing in online services in the future on the back of the success of the game mode.
Some of the best players in the world are on this list, although some fans will undoubtedly question where the likes of Ronaldo are. Yet these players and their cards will now become the hottest property in online gameplay. Features like Ultimate Team allow for community activities and it has undoubtedly led to the critical success of Fifa 20. Players who have managed to put these stars in their ultimate teams will undoubtedly be congratulating themselves on their excellent team-building and scouting skills.
FIFA 20 is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
