Can' say how many lol, but nothing new.
Modric is winning wouldn't be my choice, but it's understandable. He had a poor january and february. Just like the rest of the team, he woke up after the first leg against PSG, got hot in the CL. In the WC, he had a strong group stage but was hardly dominant the rest of the way. This season he's been poor. Overal, that's not a great year.
Ronaldo second puzzles me. Awful until march too, great CL run, poor WC, disappeared until september/october or so in Serie A. That's not a lot of great games. What has he done to be ranked above Messi for instance? Messi was better in Liga and WC and much better since the second half season began. Puzzling that the CL run would weigh so heavily.
In that case, why wouldn't a WC winner weigh heavily too?
Griezmann however is a poor choice IMO. He was hardly the best french player in the WC (Lloris, Varane, Kante, Pogba and Mbappe were better). Can't say he has dominated this year.
Mbape 4th. Should be higher. Just for the WC. And his records in pretty much every competition (L1, CL, WC).
Messi 5th. Again if you vote for the best player he should be first. If you vote for the best season he has nothing to do 3 spots behind Ronaldo.
Salah 6th, no complaining here.
Varane 7th LOL. Much better year then Cannavaro when he won the Bd'O.
Hazard 8th. Right. Hazard had a better WC than Modric and a better half season this year. He certainly should be 3 or 4 spots earlier.
KDB 9th, Kane 10th, Kante 11th. You have to wonder who had the best season between the 3. One is WC though and had a dominant tournament save for the final (where he played sick).
All in all, that's another poor ranking IMO.
