EA Sports have revealed the 40 nominees for the FIFA 23 Bundesliga Team of the Season (TOTS).
The shortlist includes Borussia Dortmund’s highly sought-after midfielder Jude Bellingham and Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani.
Bellingham has been in sensational form for Der BVB this season, spurring Edin Terzic’s side to a title charge as they sit one point above perennial champions Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga standings with five games to go.
Kolo Muani is the joint second top scorer in the German top flight this season with 13 goals, and his performances have seen him linked with a €100 million move to Manchester United.
Bayern forward Jamal Musiala, who has dazzled in the league this season, reaching double figures in goals and assists for Die Roten, also made the shortlist.
Chelsea-bound RB Leipzig striker Christopher Nkunku was also nominated, despite missing the better part of the last four months with a muscle injury.
The team of 11 players will consist of one goalkeeper, four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards in a 4-3-3 setup, with the voting lines open until 5.00 pm GMT deadline on April 25.
