- Updated: January 8, 2017
FIFA 17 Ultimate Team fans are waiting with bated breath to see which players will take their spots in the latest Team of the Year, with a new set of super-charged cards ready to be released at the Best FIFA football awards on Monday.
Following FIFA’s split from the Ballon d’Or, the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann will discover if they’ve been elected to the 2016 FIFPro World XI in Zurich, and with that comes Team of the Year goodies.
FUT 17’s Team of the Year will be based on the FIFPro World XI, and although reports surfaced claiming the lineup had been leaked, per The Sun’s Dream Team FC, FIFPro has denied such suggestions:

Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid
If any player is a shoo-in for FUT’s Team of the Year, 2016 Ballon d’Or-winner Ronaldo is perhaps the easiest case as he eyes yet more individual and team accolades in Zurich on Monday.
The Real Madrid and Portugal talisman cleaned up in the competition stakes throughout 2016, winning the UEFA Euro 2016 and UEFA Champions League as Squawka highlighted his prolific year in action:
