#4 – Alisson Becker

Brazil v Paraguay: Quarterfinal - Copa America Brazil 2019
Brazil v Paraguay: Quarterfinal - Copa America Brazil 2019

One player who was lingering around the top 10 but never quite managed to make it in was Alisson Becker. The Brazilian goalkeeper has had a stellar year but was unable to squeeze into the rankings because of the weightage given to the outfield players.

However, with a clean sheet in the Champions League final and an impressive display in Copa America so far, Alisson has jumped up in the rankings and has made it to the 4th spot out of nowhere.

Alisson played 6 matches in June and managed to keep a clean sheet in every single game. The goalkeeper last conceded a goal at Newcastle United on May 5th, and that was the only match in which someone managed to score past him in that month.

A Copa America win and a good start to the season will be enough to make people think twice before voting for Messi or Virgil Van Dijk – the two who are the favourites to win this year.
