In recent months, Insider has compiled four lists of the 10 best players in world soccer in each area of the field.

The lists do not create a definitive ranking - the 11th best attacker in the world may be better than the eighth best goalkeeper, for example.

What they do do, however, is provide a snapshot of the most elite stars in the beautiful game in 2021, reflecting both career achievements and domestic and international form this year.

Several high profile stars, like FC Barcelona goalkeeper Marc Andre Ter-Stegen, Liverpool's injured defensive colossus Virgil Van Dijk, and even Cristiano Ronaldo, miss out.
