So FIFA have announced the shorlist for the team of 2016. Apparently it's voted for by the players but in reality it's probably by the players' agents, club PR teams or whatever. Seems the usual FIFA method of just putting in big names and not really caring about their actual form, but yeah;
Goalkeepers: Claudio Bravo, Gianluigi Buffon, David de Gea, Keylor Navas and Manuel Neuer.
Defenders: David Alaba, Jordi Alba, Serge Aurier, Héctor Bellerìn, Jérôme Boateng, Leonardo Bonucci, Daniel Carvajal, Giorgio Chiellini, Dani Alves, David Luiz, Diego Godín, Mats Hummels, Philipp Lahm, Marcelo, Javier Mascherano, Pepe, Gerard Piqué, Sergio Ramos, Thiago Silva and Raphaël Varane.
Midfielders: Xabi Alonso, Sergio Busquets, Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Andrés Iniesta, N’Golo Kanté, Toni Kroos, Luka Modrić, Mesut Özil, Dimitri Payet, Paul Pogba, Ivan Rakitić, David Silva, Marco Verratti and Arturo Vidal.
Strikers: Sergio Agüero, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala, Antoine Griezmann, Gonzalo Higuaín, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Robert Lewandowski, Lionel Messi, Thomas Müller, Neymar, Alexis Sánchez, Luis Suárez and Jamie Vardy.
Who would be in your XI? Doesn't necessarily have to be from the above list
