Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is the only player included within the team who did not ply his trade in Spain's top flight last season.
Current Juventus right-back Dani Alves is the other current non-La Liga player, though he played the whole of last season at Barcelona, having only joined the Italian champions in the summer.
The rest of the defence is made up by Real skipper Sergio Ramos, Barca and Spain centre-half Gerard Pique and Real's Brazilian left-back Marcelo.
The midfield includes Real Madrid and Croatia's Luka Modric, Spain and Barcelona's Andres Iniesta and Modric's Madrid team-mate and Germany international Toni Kroos.
The front three consists of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Cristiano Ronaldo, with Neymar and FIFA Men's Player Award nominee Antoine Griezmann the most high-profile omissions.
The award, which is decided by the players, is deliberated at the end of every season.
It involves votes from more than 25,000 professional footballers from over 75 different countries with each selecting one goalkeeper, four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards.
FIFPro World 11: Manuel Neuer, Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Cristiano Ronaldo.
