Unbeliveable that these players did not make FIFPro XIs

Mohamed Salah, Kelvin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, and Antoine Griezmann were not among the players shortlisted for FIFPro XIs 

It is usually the best players that make up the annual FIFPro XI, but the likes of Liverpool and Manchester city stars are among the players we can't believe didn't make the list.



since 2005, FIFPro  XI is normally gotten by inviting  every professional footballer in the world  to choose the best team of the past base on their  individual performances. the team normally consist of a goalkeeper, four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards.

Unfortunately, they usually exist some controversy when the final team is released.

Mohamed Salah

The Liverpool star was selected in the three-man shortlist for the world's player of the year,

but the striker did not make the 2018 FIFPro XI, with Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona Striker Lionel Messi and PSG striker Kylian Mbappe selected instead.

Mohamed Salah scored 44 goals in 52 appearances for Liverpool in 2017-2018, but when compared to Mbappe who netted 21 goals in 46 game appearances for the same  season.

The Egyptian star also won the champions league in 2019 and also scored in the final, but Ronaldo, Messi, and Mbappe where chosen as the FIFPro strikers.

Kelvin De Bruyne

The Mancity play-maker won the Golden Boy award  and one of the key players in Pep Guardiola's premier league-winning in the 2017-2018 season but the star was not listed in the FIFPro XI.

unfortunately, he was not even listed in the 55-man shortlisted in 2017, although he was on 2018 shortlist.

De Bruyne provided 12 goals and 21 assists for his club manchester city when they won the league title and league cup.

He also broke several records along the way, but the Belgium international did not make the final team list.

but his countryman Hazard was selected ahead of him despite not making the PFA premier league team of the year.

Bernardo Silva

The Mancity star played a key role in manchester city' success last season when Kelvin De Bruyne suffers injuries, but just as his teammate, he was not on the FIFPro XI.

Bernardo Silva won the city's player of the year award with 13 goals and 14 assists last season as they won a domestic treble of the English Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup in 2019.

the Portuguese midfielder also won the inaugural UEFA National League and was named player of the Tournament.

but the Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric was chosen ahead of him.

Antoine Griezmann

According to the French striker Antoine Griezmann in early September, "I believe that I deserved to be on the final three-man shortlist for the 2018 Ballon d'Or, having won the world cup, Europa League and UEFA super cup".

he also added that he lost two finals that year but this year I have won three.
but not been shortlisted in FIFA's best man prize, he said: "it is bad and a pity".

"This trophy is been awarded by FIFA, right? we won the world cup and there is no French player who is on the list.

Although that was their choice, it was surprising".
