Five EPL stars in Fifa World XI

Five EPL players have been named in the FIFPro World XI for 2009. The team represents the best players on the planet for the year as voted by their fellow professionals from around the world. John Terry (Chelsea), Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres (both Liverpool), Patrice Evra and Nemanja Vidic (both Manchester United) all made the starting XI. They were joined by Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas, Barcelona quartet Dani Alves, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi, and former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Real Madrid in June 2009. Ronaldo also won the inaugural Fifa Puskas Award for the best goal of the year for his stunning 40-yard strike for Manchester United against FC Porto in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
