Ronaldo boasting a coveted 99 card. Luka Modric, Andres Iniesta and Toni Kroos have the privilege of making up a three-man midfield, as the likes of Paul Pogba, Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard missed out. While Kroos' 60 pace makes him the slowest member of the midfield, his passing rating of 98 means he beats even Iniesta in that regard, and the German's 90 shooting makes him a menace in attack.

In defence, Sergio Ramos partners former Barcelona team-mates Gerard Pique and Dani Alves—now at Juventus. Iniesta's shooting also underwent a drastic makeover after being boosted by four points. Modric, meanwhile, has barely a yellow in sight in his new Team of the Year form, where it's his dribbling stats that make him a coveted asset, with the lowest of those in-game stats (dribbling) still a monstrous 93.
