Each player cast their vote, choosing the standout performer for every position over the past 12 months.
So, the 2025 Team of the Year looks like this:
- Donnarumma (Manchester City).
- Hakimi (PSG).
- Van Dijk (Liverpool).
- Mendes (PSG).
- Palmer (Chelsea).
- Bellingham (Real Madrid).
- Pedri (Barcelona).
- Vitinha (PSG).

Plenty of fans on social media pointed out that Haaland, Salah, Courtois, and Valverde missed out on the list, even though many believe they deserved a spot among the elite.
