I forgot Coutinho in mine but I think he deserves to be in there, he was absolute quality.
I don't think there's anyone in there that's outrageous. The one I'd have the biggest issue with is Marcelo, but I don't know that there was a leftback who was massively better.
I think Thiago Silva was very good, but I think it's cheating to put him at RB, especially with Trippier and Pavard both having excellent tournaments, as did Vrsaljko for that matter.
Apart from scoring that wonder goal agaisnt Argentina I can't remember him doing much particularly amazing so I'd go with Trippier in that position.
What an absolute farce letting it get voted for by the fans.
How on earth can Marcelo and Thiago Silva be in there? Where is Trippier? Ronaldo? Pathetic. Ronaldo's world cup ended 4 minutes into the second group match. He went missing in their next 2 games and they didn't even make the quarters. Hazard, Perisic, Mandzukic or even Griezmann had better tournaments. Where are Pogba or Kante or even Rakitic in midfield? Same number of Brazilians as France and Croatia combined?
The whole thing is about as laughable as the FIFA rankings.
At least it wasn't Neymar that got in... It's all just a popularity contest really though isn't it... Very harsh.on peresic, hazard and trippier though. How many goals and assists did Coutinho actually have in the tournament? Did he even get a man of the match in his 5 games? Do people around the world really think Kane was England's best player in the tournament? I thought ronaldo only had one good game and even in that game didn't effect play THAT much in between his early pen and late free kick - he didn't exactly control the game or anything did he? My only memory of Marcelo in this whole tournament was an early substitution due to a back spasm.
That's really interesting. A relatively uncontroversial half time team talk as France were ahead though, it would have been more fun had they been losing, with certain players having a complete mare!

Kante/Pogba should be ahead of Ronaldo imo
No arguing with Godin and Varane but Silva shouldn't be there, certainly not at RB (again formation forced)

Well, unless FIFA use weighted voting....
They would better if you weren't allowed to vote for players from your own country for a start.
The biggest fall from the top in chart history.
