The FIFA 20 Team of the Year builds excitement for some of the best cards in FIFA Ultimate Team.
With 55 players in the running to be on the superteam of 2019, it is no easy task for the FIFA community to pick their 11.
The TOTY players will be in a 4-3-3 formation, with players falling into the goalkeeper, defence, midfielder, attacking position categories.
RealSport predicts the final 11 for FIFA 20’s Team of the Year, arriving on Monday 6th January, 2020.
Alisson (OVR 89 – TOTY 94)
Awarded the goalkeeper of the year award during France Football’s Ballon d’Or ceremony, it would be a surprise for Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson to not claim the spot in the FUT 20 Team of the Year. The Brazilian won both the Champions League and Copa America last season and picked up the most clean sheets in the Premier League.

card worth 44,000 coins on PS4 and 43,000 on Xbox One. His 89 Champions League

The Liverpool defender was instrumental in the Champions League, assisting two goals in the 4-0 semi-final second leg comeback against Barcelona, and notched 12 assists during the Premier League season.

Fabinho (OVR 85 – TOTY 92)
As much as Virgil van Dijk has revolutionised Liverpool’s defence, a lot of the credit must go to Fabinho in front of the back four. The Brazilian provides security in midfield and composure on the ball, missing just two matches after he established himself in Jurgen Klopp’s side in October.
