Gianluigi Buffon, Neymar and Leonardo Bonucci are the new names in the 2017 FIFPro World 11, joining the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Juventus and Italy goalkeeper Buffon was named to the team for the first time since 2007, ending a four-year reign by Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer.
Earlier on Monday, Buffon was also named FIFA's Goalkeeper of the Year.
Brazilian star Neymar returns to the World 11 after a year's absence, replacing his former Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez.
AC Milan's Bonucci is the only new defender since last year's awards, receiving the honour for the first time at age 30. He edged out Barcelona's Gerard Pique, who FIFA said was the closest player left out.
Messi and Ronaldo were both named to the team for the eleventh straight time, sharing the record for the most appearances since the world players union's award began in 2005.
Barcelona's Messi received the most votes with 22,229 -- only 14 more than Sergio Ramos, who made the team for a sixth straight edition and seventh overall.
Real Madrid had the most players on the list with five as Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Marcelo retained their spots along with Ramos and Ronaldo.
