The goalkeeper position was no debate, with a former Real Madrid shot-stopper beating Manuel Neuer (selected three times) and Gianluigi Buffon (chosen twice).

In defence, players like Alessandro Nesta and Paolo Maldini (both two selections) didn't make the cut, while FC Barcelona duo Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique (three selections each) also missed out.

In midfield, Kaka (three selections) and Zinedine Zidane (two selections) couldn't make our line-up, while up front Samuel Eto'o and Fernando Torres (each twice selected) didn't come close to our star forwards.

Click through our gallery to find the 11 stars who have most often been selected for FIFA's World XI since the award's inception in 2005.
