4 Players who should have been nominated for the ‘Best XI’

#1 Ciro Immobile (Italy & Lazio)

SS Lazio's lethal striker seems to have been undeservedly overlooked.

Joint Top scorer of Seria A with 29 goals, 37 goals and 9 assists in all competitions, and missing from the shortlist for the Best XI. A true mixed year for the Italian. His recent resurgence at Lazio after a few not so successful spells a Borussia and Sevilla could’ve been rubber stamped if he had been a part of the shortlist.

This omission could be huge in his overall recognition in world football as by the strikers own admission the addition of Cristiano Ronaldo to the race for top scorer makes it tougher than ever before for the marksmen in Italy. His next big moment just might not come again, making it a strange year for him personally despite all his heroics.
