FIFA 19 Team of the Year
The Best Players of 2018
There were 55 nominees but only eleven could win. Let’s find out who were considered the best players of 2018.
Each one of the eleven FIFA 19 Team of the Year players were released in a very special blue card with improved attributes on a very limited edition.
Here are the eleven players chosen to the FIFA 19 Team of the Year:
GOALKEEPERS
97 ?? GK: David De Gea, Manchester United
DEFENDERS
95 ?? CB: Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool
96 ?? CB: Raphaël Varane, Real Madrid
97 ?? CB: Sergio Ramos, Real Madrid
94 ?? LB: Marcelo, Real Madrid
MIDFIELDERS
99 ?? CM: Luka Modrić, Real Madrid
96 ?? CDM: N’Golo Kanté, Chelsea FC
97 ?? CAM: Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City
STRIKERS
99 ?? ST: Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus
99 ?? CF: Lionel Messi, FC Barcelona
97 ?? RW: Kylian Mbappé, Paris Saint-Germain
97 DAVID DE GEA
?? Spain | Manchester United | Premier League | GK
The Spanish international has become a vital member of the United squad in recent seasons, and he played an important role in their league.
95 VIRGIL VAN DIJK
?? Netherlands | Liverpool | Premier League | CB
Van Dijk uses his Physical rating to boss opponents around, collapsing any sense of personal space they had when they entered his domain. Combined with an excellent Defending rating, Van Dijk is the archetypal modern center back—and he’s in the prime of his career.
96 RAPHAEL VARANE
?? France | Real Madrid | LaLiga | CB
As if it weren’t impressive enough that Varane has been a regular starter in Real Madrid’s backline since he was 20, the big center back has also been a staple for the French national team since he was first capped in 2013. With plenty of challengers for his position, Varane must continue earning clean sheets for Madrid if he hopes to earn them for his country, too.
97 SÉRGIO RAMOS
?? Spain | Real Madrid | LaLiga | CB
One of the most decorated defenders in history, Ramos’ versatility and uncanny football intelligence have made him key to Real Madrid’s successes for more than a decade.
94 MARCELO
?? Brazil | Real Madrid | LaLiga | LB
Another decade-long mainstay for Real Madrid’s defense, Marcelo is a balanced fullback; on top of his incredible tackling and 1-on-1 defending, speed and technical ability make him a nightmare for opposing defenders.
99 LUKA MODRIC
?? Croatia | Real Madrid | LaLiga | CM
Perhaps the best Croatian footballer in history, Modrić has made a name for himself in Madrid as a hard-working, multi-talented midfielder that can adapt to any tactic or opponent. Whether attacking behind the forwards or controlling the play from a deeper position, Modrić is a midfield marvel.
96 N’GOLO KANTÉ
?? France | Chelsea FC | Premier League | CDM
A paragon of the old school central midfielder archetype, Kanté can do just about anything. Whether intercepting a dangerous attack, making a last-ditch tackle at the edge of the box, or squeezing an inch-perfect pass through the defense, Kanté is the type of player everyone wants on their team.
97 KEVIN DE BRUYNE
?? Belgium | Manchester City | Premier League | CAM
A prominent member of the greatest talent pool in Belgium national team history, De Bruyne is also one of the sport’s most complete midfielders. From creating chances to defending to scoring crucial goals, De Bruyne can seemingly do anything.
99 CRISTIANO RONALDO
?? Portugal | Juventus | Serie A | ST
It’s nearly impossible to say anything about Cristiano Ronaldo without dipping into hyperbole. Undoubtedly one of the greatest players of all time, Ronaldo is still breaking records—many of them his own. The Real Madrid attacker has won countless individual, club, and international trophies, a tally to which he’s surely going to add to in the future.
99 LIONEL MESSI
?? Argentina | FC Barcelona | LaLiga | CF
The only current player who gets and deserves as much effusive hype and praise as Ronaldo, the Argentine wizard‘s talent and skill on the ball have few equals in footballing history. Like Ronaldo, Messi often gets a similar free attacking role—he’s too good to pin down to one position. He continues to lead his club’s front line fearlessly, racking up plenty of goals and assists along the way.
97 KYLIAN MBAPPÉ
?? France | Paris Saint-Germain | Ligue 1 | RW
As if commanding a massive transfer fee as a teenager wasn’t enough, Mbappé showed off what Paris Saint-Germain saw in him last season and during the 2018 World Cup. Mbappé never hesitates to show off his Pace and Dribbling ratings, bombarding the right wing every chance he gets.
