FIFPRO men's outfield World XI 2024

The men's 2024 World XI has been announced with Manchester City's Ederson in goal, but who makes the rest of the team?

Find out below.

DEF - Dani Carvajal

La Liga winner, Euros winners, and opening goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League final, Real Madrid's Dani Carvajal was a shoo-in for the World XI.

DEF - Antonio Rudiger

Still a world class defender at the age of 31, Antonio Rudiger has gone from strength to strength since his move to Real Madrid, winning La Liga and the UEFA Champions League in 2024.

DEF - Virgil van Dijk

After his serious knee injury in 2020, many wondered whether we'd ever see the Virgil van Dijk of old, and while his return to form wasn't immediate, the Dutchman was imperious in Liverpool's defence once more in 2024.

MID - Kevin De Bruyne

Despite missing the first half of the campaign, Kevin De Bruyne still managed a remarkable 10 assists in 18 appearances over the Premier League campaign. Following his return from injury, Manchester City didn't lose another game, going on to win the title.

MID - Rodri

Premier League winner, Euros winner, Ballon d'Or winner. Instrumental in Spain and Manchester City's midfield, Rodri's stock only continues to grow with his absence as his club side's struggles increase.

MID - Toni Kroos

Not that his abilities were ever in doubt, but it's even more evident how important Toni Kroos was to Real Madrid's midfield following his retirement.

Helping guide Los Blancos to the UEFA Champions League, Kroos was denied a fairy tale ending following Germany's quarter-final defeat in the Euros to Spain.

MID - Jude Bellingham

Although he was already commanding transfer fees of around £100m, it felt that the 2023/24 season was a breakout campaign for Bellingham, often carrying England and Real Madrid on his shoulders, denied a UEFA Champions League/Euros double having lost to Spain in the final.

FWD - Kylian Mbappe

Although France made the semi-finals of Euro 2024, it was far from a vintage tournament from Les Bleus. Nevertheless, Kylian Mbappe averaged a goal a game at club level for PSG to win a fifth Ligue 1 Player of the Year award.

FWD - Erling Haaland

Although the 23/24 season felt like a down year for Erling Haaland, such are the standards he's set himself, he still won the Premier League, the Golden Boot, and managed 27 goals in just 31 appearances.

FWD - Vinicius Jr

Picking up the slack towards the back end of the season for Real Madrid, Vinicius Jr scored in the UEFA Champions League final to put the game to bed, and was expected by many to go on to win the Ballon d'Or. While he came second there, his place in the World XI was never in doubt.
