How The Best FIFA Men\u2019s 11 Was Decided
\nThe final team was determined through a combination of votes from fans and a panel of football experts. Both groups\u2019 votes carried equal weight, regardless of the number of voters in each category.<\/p>\n
Players received points based on their ranking in their respective positions within each voting group. The initial selection included the top nine players with the most points across the following positional breakdown:<\/p>\n
-One goalkeeper
\n-Three defenders
\n-Three midfielders
\n-Two forwards<\/p>\n
Following this, the two outfield players with the highest remaining points, who were not already selected, were added to complete the team. The final composition adhered to a positional limit of four defenders, four midfielders, and three forwards.<\/p>\n
The inclusion of five Real Madrid players highlights the club\u2019s dominance over the past year, while the overall split between La Liga and the Premier League underscores the competitive strength of Europe\u2019s top leagues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
