The FIFA didn't select the players that have the highest Goalimpact, but that isn't also to be expected. The FIFA World XI is a honor that is based on 2015 performance only, while Goalimpact is based on all games of the player's career. But even given that, there are some surprising omissions in the FIFA list: no Özil?!? Anyway, the list isn't too far of Goalimpact either and most players on the list are passing 150, my arbitrary level of world-class.
Other than Özil, notable omission from Goalimpact perspetive are Theo Walcott, Mario Götze and Cesc Fàbregas.
