The nominees have been revealed by EA SPORTS and there are some difficult decisions to be made. Voting opened up on January 7 and with so many outstanding players this year, picking the best of the best is going to be no easy task. We\u2019ve already shown you our top 11 players for this year\u2019s Team of the Year. As a part of that, Bruno Fernandes was one of the high profile names that didn\u2019t make the cut, with Heung-Min Son being favored in our midfield. Now, let\u2019s run through five players we think nobody should vote for. Steve Mandanda Marseille\u2019s captain and goalkeeper has certainly had a solid year in the French league. As of January 2020, his team is sitting fifth in the table and he\u2019s only conceded 16 league goals so far this season. However, TOTY is about finding the top player in every position and unfortunately, Mandanda falls short compared to the other candidates. With the likes of Alisson Becker and Manuel Neuer being nominated, your vote is most-likely better spent elsewhere. Jordan Amavi The nominees for defenders in this year\u2019s TOTY is stacked with an incredible amount of talent. From Sergio Ramos to Alphonso Davies, this leaves little room for players like Jordan Amav unfortunately.

The options ahead of him are far too strong, and Amavi\u2019s base card \u2013 seen above \u2013 would need some serious work to be a part of the meta. Dani Parejo Villarreal CF\u2019s man in the center has picked up a single goal and assist this season in La Liga. Although the team is place in a solid fifth position in the table, his performances are not quite worthy of the TOTY award. There\u2019s no denying Dani Parejo\u2019s talent as a midfielder, but pit against the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Joshua Kimmich, it\u2019s hard to justify a vote for him this time. Francesco Caputo Competing for a TOTY place in the attacking position is always going to be extremely difficult. There are so many talented goalscorers spread across multiple leagues that you have to be at the top of your game to even stand a chance. Unfortunately, Sassuolo\u2019s Francesco Caputo doesn\u2019t match up. With six goals and four assists in the Serie A this season, he\u2019s not quite done enough to stand out from the crowd. The other forwards are world beaters and the same can\u2019t be said about the Italian. Joselu Deportivo Alaves\u2019s center-forward Joselu has made a shock appearance on the TOTY nominee\u2019s list. The former Newcastle player has only managed to score two goals and contribute a single assist for his club this season, making him a questionable pick. With the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Robert Lewandowski, and Erling Haaland all gunning for the award, Joselu shouldn\u2019t even be in the conversation. That rounds off our list of the five players nobody should vote for in this year\u2019s TOTY.
