#9 Alisson Becker
Alisson Becker could have even made it to the podium this time around. However, he continues to remain sidelined after picking up an injury in Liverpool's season opener against Norwich City.
The Brazilian goalkeeper is one of the most important cogs of Jurgen Klopp's intricate system and has been the poster child of the 'Make Anfield a Fortress Again' again movement after the club struggled to keep the goals out owing to abject defenders and unreliable goalkeepers.
Alisson would have made a great case for the Ballon d'Or as he has won the UEFA Champions League and the Copa America this year. He has been stoic between the sticks and with Virgil Van Dijk guarding the gates in front of him, Becker's last line of defence often proves to be too much to work through for attackers.
