Liverpool have four players named on the 55-man shortlist for the FIFPro World XI that is named later this month.
Virgil van Dijk, Dejan Lovren, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are the quartet of Reds stars who received the nod from some of the 25,000 professionals who voted across 65 countries.
The World XI - which theoretically plays a 4-3-3 formation - will be announced at a FIFA and FIFPro ceremony in London on Monday September 24.
Van Dijk joined the Reds in January and played a big part in helping Jurgen Klopp's Reds to the Champions League final and a top-four finish in the second half of the campaign.
The world's most expensive defender's £75million arrival from Southampton coincided with a huge upturn in defensive fortunes for the Reds and Liverpool eventually went on to record their most number of clean sheets since 2010 with 17.
