This year, choosing in seems to be more difficult than usual. Let’s take a look at nominated defenders.
Defensive champions among the nominees
The Italian duo Chiellini – Bonucci seem to be the favorites to be hosted in the center of TOTA’s defense. Both seasoned defenders still manage to embarrass more than one young football star. They are not the only Italian players in this group. In addition to them, we will find Leonardo Spinazzola, who has an excellent Euro 2020 behind him.
There are more interesting candidates. Real Madrid defender David Alaba, especially in the fall, almost immediately became the leader of the club’s defense formation from Spain. Jordi Alba, a Barcelona player, has not forgotten how to play football. We can also associate Kieran Trippier with Spanish football, who recently replaced Atletico for Newcastle.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Cesar Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Joao Cancelo, Kyle Walker and Luke Shaw also seem to be interesting proposals – all of them represent the British Premier League. However, it is impossible to mention one of the heroes of the previous Euro – Simon Kjear. Not only is he a great player, but he also showed an admirable attitude, saving his teammate Christian Erikssen on the pitch.

They are almost unbeatable
The rivalry among the goalkeepers is also interesting. Only one of them will go to FIFA 22’s eleven of the year. There seem to be two favorites – Giangluigi Donnaruma, who won the European Championship with the Italian national team, and Edouard Mendy, the Chelsea goalkeeper, with whom he won the Champions League cup.
Thibout Courtios has also had great months. The Real Madrid goalkeeper has saved his team from oppression more than once. Among the nominees, we can also find Jan Oblak, an Atletico player, who has already accustomed football fans to great interventions in hopeless situations.
