He did have a slow start to the season indeed, but I think Kevin De Bruyne also deserves consideration. Let's see how it turns out in the end, but...
I think Sarosi lacks nothing of being considered for the pantheon. While Sindelar does not have the longevity for obvious reasons and I also...
Really amazing job, I rate these lists very highly, especially the effort this takes to be made. A minor concernis that I have the impression that...
Went through the lists again and noticed that Ibrahimovic wasn't mentioned at all. So, either I'm blind or he got lost between the categories....
Would anybody be so kind and guarantee that the shared link and file are trustworthy? Don't want to be too rude, but sometimes it's better to be...
Ariaga and me had a try actually, with some minor research but having the seasons fresh in mind in my case. You should find them if you look up...
Amazing thread once again Tom, can't wait for the rest. Keep it up!
In fact, having a scoring ratio higher than half of the league's goals per game ratio is a huge achievement. Statistically, this would mean that...
Since the 2020-21 campaign just ended with the termination of the two major continental tournaments, I concluded on my 23-player list in order to...
I fear that this thread will end up in an endless discussion over several 100 pages like some others did before. Problem is that a GOAT...
Fair point, mate. The team is indeed very offensive minded, even though Di Stefano and Cruyff proved their qualities as ball carriers and...
Closing my work for now, I'll share the all-time top 100 that the combined historical Ballon D'Or rankings bring up. First of all, all merits...
For the last time I will share my statistiacl deacde review for the 2010's now (inlcuding 2020). Although this is pretty much the most pointless...
Truely a great affort mate. Congratulations! I will go on with my statistical reviews in the next days. However I noticed that Peru only published...
Regarding this, I firstly want to stress that Ariaga, as well as Peru intentionally create a seasonal Ballon D'Or turnus instead of an annual. So...
So for now I'll skip my continuous all-time list and wait for the last two decades to be completed and then go on with a comprehensive revision....
Quite interesting. I'm wondering how you adjusted the ratings in the initial post. Is this based on some statistical methodology (which would...
I'll go on now with the 1990's. A quite interesting decade for which I used the selections that @Perú FC uploaded and revised, since Tom stopped...
Sorry for the inconvenience. 32.5 is the right score for the 1970's here. Cruyff got 7 points in the 1960's already, which is why I got confused...
Yeah, actually he was close in 1983 (3.5 points), but that's pretty much it. I always wondered how Liverpool could be that successful in the early...
Once again I revise my continous all-time ranking now with a top 70 of the best players up to this point: 1920's to 1980's combined: Top 70...
So we're going on with the 1980's now: 1980's assessment: 1980: 1. Maradona, Diego (Argentinos Juniors, Argentina): 5.5 points 2. Rummenigge,...
Ballon D'Ors and other kinds of annual rankings are immensely prone to be given to the World Cups (and to some extent ECs) best performers ever...
Wow, I'm surprised to be mentioned along the great posters on the forum. There are defintely other names with more deep knowledge indeed :D....
Wow, that combined to a very nice and diverse voting indeed :thumbsup:. It is clear that there will always be controversy on the comparability of...
