Alisson (OVR 89 – TOTY 94)
Awarded the goalkeeper of the year award during France Football’s Ballon d’Or ceremony, it would be a surprise for Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson to not claim the spot in the FUT 20 Team of the Year. The Brazilian won both the Champions League and Copa America last season and picked up the most clean sheets in the Premier League.
Alisson’s 89 overall could rise to around 94, with his base card worth 44,000 coins on PS4 and 43,000 on Xbox One. His 89 Champions League item costs 45,000 on PS4 and 50,000 on Xbox One.
Under threat from: Marc-Andre ter Stegen (OVR 90)
Trent Alexander-Arnold (OVR 83 – TOTY 92)
Now the most valuable full back in the world, Trent Alexander-Arnold was catapulted into a world class right back last season. The Liverpool defender was instrumental in the Champions League, assisting two goals in the 4-0 semi-final second leg comeback against Barcelona, and notched 12 assists during the Premier League season.

Trent’s 83 overall is likely to improve to a 92 overall if he makes the TOTY, with his base card priced at 4,700 coins on PS4 and 5,500 on Xbox One. An 85 in-form from TOTW 2 will set you back 140,000 on PS4 and 163,000 on Xbox One.

Virgil van Dijk (OVR 90 – TOTY 98)
The first name on the teamsheet for many, Virgil van Dijk was named the PFA Player of the Year for his performances in the Premier League and Champions League. He also led the Dutch national team to the UEFA Nations League final, with his year seeing him finish second in the running for the Ballon d’Or.
VVD’s base card costs 550,000 coins on PS4 and 510,000, with a 91 in-form from TOTW 12 priced at 818,000 on PS4 and 750,000 on Xbox One.
Under threat from: Marquinhos (OVR 86)
Matthijs de Ligt (OVR 85 – TOTY 92)
Van Dijk’s partner at the back for the Netherlands, Matthijs de Ligt captained Ajax to the Champions League semi-finals last season, aged just 19. He then made the £77 million summer switch to Juventus, playing 16 games so far this season.
De Ligt’s 85 overall should rise to around 92, with his base card costing 11,000 coins on PS4 and 12,000 on Xbox One. An 86 in-form for the Piemonte man is worth 52,000 on PS4 and 53,000 on Xbox One, and his Ones to Watch item comes in at 60,000 on PS4 and 65,000 on Xbox One.
Under threat from: Sergio Ramos (OVR 89)
Andrew Robertson (OVR 85 – TOTY 92)
A fourth Liverpool player, Andrew Robertson has been putting the yards in down the left flank for the Reds. The Scotland captain picked up 13 assists last season, with a further five so far this year.
Robertson’s 85 overall could rise to 92, with his base card priced at 35,000 coins on both consoles. An 86 in-form costs 250,000 on PS4 and 250,000 on Xbox One.
Under threat from: Jordi Alba (OVR 87)
Fabinho (OVR 85 – TOTY 92)
As much as Virgil van Dijk has revolutionised Liverpool’s defence, a lot of the credit must go to Fabinho in front of the back four. The Brazilian provides security in midfield and composure on the ball, missing just two matches after he established himself in Jurgen Klopp’s side in October.
