Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville name their respective FIFA 23 Team of the Years, both pundits disagree on FOUR players

Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher picked the 11 players who would make their respective Team of the Years in EA Sports' FIFA 23.

Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have revealed their respective FIFA 23 Team of the Years, with the Sky Sports pundits only disagreeing on four players.

FIFA 23 publisher EA Sports has opened up the selection process for this iteration of Team of the Year, with fans able to cast their votes from the 100 nominees.

FIFA players can build their own Team of the Year via EA’s official website, with EA Sports to reveal who made the final cut later in January.

For their Team of the Years, Neville opted for a daring attacking-minded formation of 4-2-4 while Carragher chose a more robust formation of 4-2-3-1.

Carragher and Neville both included Paris Saint-Germain star Achraf Hakimi, who had a sensational 2022 World Cup with Morocco, for the right-back spot.

Both Sky Sports pundits placed PSG star Marquinhos in their respective backlines, but Carragher and Neville disagreed on the other centre-back and left-back.

Neville paired Brazil international Marquinhos alongside Manchester City defender Ruben Dias, with Carragher preferring Real Madrid centre-back Eder Militao.

For the left-back, Carragher revealed his pick was City star Joao Cancelo while Neville named AC Milan full-back Theo Hernandez as his first choice for the team.

Moving into midfield as Real Madrid star Luka Modric received the nod from both Neville and Carragher, but the pair disagreed on who to partner alongside him.

Carragher went for Modric’s former Madrid teammate Casemiro, who has made a sensational impact at Manchester United since his £70m transfer.

Neville, on the other hand, snubbed United star Casemiro and paired 2018 Ballon d’Or winner Modric alongside City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne.
