The 2015 FIFA Ballon dOr Gala is in full
swing, with the first big awards of the
night being handed out. FIFA announced
the 2015 FIFPro World XI, the team with
the eleven best players in the world in
the past calendar year.
Unsurprisingly, plenty of Barcelona
players made the final cut. Four of them,
in fact. Here's the full team:

Dani Alves , Iniesta, Neymar and Messi
were obvious choices for their positions,
but the fact that Sergio Busquets has been
snubbed is absurd. Luka Modric, as good
as he is, didn't even play enough games
as his 2015 was plagued by injuries.
Busquets was healthy and played at an
absurdly high level and should definitely
be part of the team.
But these selections are always based on
marketing and relationships, so
congratulations to the eleven who made
it, and Busquets, who made it in my
heart.
