Seems about right from a RM point of view, would probably have Casemiro there over some nominations

While I agree, I think it's important to remember this year it will be chosen only by journalists who seem to be more fair. So it will be less of a popularity contest than in the past.

by Mr Nick09 Mon Oct 24, 2016 6:25 pm

I thought It was starting next year that only journalists are voting

So

Congratulations Cristiano for his 4th Ballon d'or

1. Messi
2. Suarez
3. Neymar
4. Griezman
5. Zlatan

I think that's the correct top 5 currently.

by Valkyrja Mon Oct 24, 2016 6:36 pm

Cristiano
Bale
Modric/Kroos

by Harmonica Mon Oct 24, 2016 6:37 pm

If bum Fakenaldo makes it even close to Top 5 Ballon d'Or loses prestige before it even starts. Fifa award has chance to break away this season from bs if they make fair selections.

by RealGunner Mon Oct 24, 2016 6:39 pm

Unbelievable how Sanchez was omitted.

you know he is making it and winning it already, just spare us the stupid thread afterwards thanks.

by sportsczy Mon Oct 24, 2016 7:18 pm

Griezmann is going 3rd imo... No way Neymar makes it. He was the 3rd best player on his line at club lol. It's impossible for him as it is for Suarez to make the podium unless Messi retires.

My guess? Ronaldo, Messi and Griezmann are the top 3.

Care to elaborate? What you don't agree about these stats? Iniesta so low, Fakenaldo so high, what?

by Nishankly Mon Oct 24, 2016 7:36 pm

I like how these lists are so irrelevant, Top 5 only pls

by Bankz Mon Oct 24, 2016 7:40 pm

What's even funnier is that people actually believe that these so called "unbiased journalists" are different from those douchbag coaches we always like to condemn.

They're just as bad, or maybe even worse than those coaches/captains tbh.. I don't know what's so hyped up bout the ballon d'or as against the WPOTY tbh when you still see thesame retarded votings everywhere..

Nothing to see here as the final votings will be
1. Ronaldo (which discredits the ballon d'or)
2. Messi (which will also discredit it)
3. Griezeman (which will also be a shame)

This is supposed to be the final standings
1. Griezeman
2. Suarez
3. Ronaldo

Think top 3 will be

1) Ronaldo

3) Messi

Or Messi 2nd.

by Harmonica Mon Oct 24, 2016 7:49 pm

Why are everyone thinking what it will be? Give your own opinion who it should be lmao.

Vardy nominated for Balon

Messi 2nd. Griezmann doesn't have the marketing to beat our Ronaldo or Messi (nobody does) unless they have very poor seasons... and even then Laughing

Pepe ffs...lol the only defender too it seems, wow. The likes of Vardy in there, and a few names missed out instead... lol... anyway, the most important is the top three. I just hope Ronaldo dont win it. That would mean 4 to Ronaldo and 5 to Messi, that would be quite unbelievable, what an achievement by Ronaldo tbf if he really gets 4 of them from the hands of Messi if you know what I mean....

Zlatan?

Messi will win it. He's the best individual in the game.

Also, wasn't the name of this award changed to something else other than Balon d'Or??
