FIFPro World XI

[Fosterbloke]

What the ****ing ****?

Nominees:

• Xabi Alonso (Spain and Real Madrid)
• Sergio Busquets (Spain and FC Barcelona)
• Cesc Fabregas (Spain and FC Barcelona)
• Steven Gerrard (England and Liverpool)
• Eden Hazard (Belgium and Chelsea)
• Andres Iniesta (Spain and FC Barcelona)
• Frank Lampard (England and Chelsea)
• Luka Modric (Croatia and Real Madrid)
• Mesut Ozil (Germany and Real Madrid)
• Andrea Pirlo (Italy and Juventus)
• Franck Ribery (France and Bayern Munich)
• David Silva (Spain and Manchester City)
• Bastian Schweinsteiger (Germany and Bayern Munich)
• Yaya Toure (Ivory Coast and Manchester City)
• Xavi Hernandez (Spain and FC Barcelona)

I don't understand how these are voted for but is there any good reason why Messi, Ronaldo, van Persie, Kompany or Suarez wouldn't have made this list?

Is that not just the midfielders section?

Would be interesting to analyze this list of players to see how they were developed and how a club like ours at the this moment in our history can get some of these types of players in the future, if you know what I mean.

I find it hard to believe Gerrard or Lampard deserve to be part of that list
