Fans can't quite believe how Dele Alli has been included in FIFA's FIFPRO Men's World XI shortlist.
The 55-man list was voted for by professional footballers all around the world, with players asked to vote for the best goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards in 2020.
And Spurs man Alli has made the cut for the first time despite arguably the worst year of his career thus far.
The MK Dons youth product has scored just two Premier League goals this year and hasn't featured in the league since October after falling out of favour under Jose Mourinho.

Alli has well and truly lost his place in Gareth Southgate's England squad and has made just three starts for Spurs this season - having had to make do with game-time in the Europa League and Carabao Cup.
And Alli's inclusion has caused quite a stir with football fans, who can't believe how he's managed to get a look-in.
Alli's Spurs teammates Heung Min-Son, Harry Kane, Hugo Lloris and Toby Alderweireld have all been shortlisted.
Advert
Eleven Bayern Munich players have deservedly been included after their historic treble win last term - though Philippe Coutinho and Thiago Alcantara are now playing their trade with Liverpool and Barcelona respectively.
Alphonso Davies, Serge Gnabry, Bruno Fernandes, Jordan Henderson and Erling Haaland are among the new faces on the list, with the likes of Paul Pogba, Eden Hazard Raheem Sterling and Luis Suarez notable omissions.
