2013 Ronaldo and 2016 Messi Messi was frequently injured in 2013 and has stepped down with his performances towards the end of 2012/13 season and in the first half of 2013/14 season, while Ronaldo literally put the best numbers of his career in 2013. And Ronaldo's first half of the 2016/17 is weak for his standards, his Euro 2016 performance is probably his worst Euro to date, while he had a one stand out performance in UCL KO phase against Wolfsburg, which is the most overrated performance in recent times. On the other hand, Messi had one of the most briiiant individual performances on international level in recent times at Copa 16, was fairly strong in ucl and crucial for la liga and cdr titles, as well as spanish super cup. Also had very strong start to 2016/17 season. I would even comfortably put Modrić and Suarez ahead of Ronaldo in 2016. It's such a shame that there seems to be no nuance even within big forum consensus.

Ronaldo's Euro 16: Winner with 3 goals and 3 assists (Portugal scored 9 goals) Ronaldo's UCL 15/16: 16 goals, 4 assists (Real Madrid scored 26 goals with Ronaldo involved in 77%) - Top Scorer - UEFA Best Player Ronaldo's LaLiga 15/16: Runner-Up - 35 goals, 11 assists Ronaldo's Club World Cup 2016: 4 goals - Golden Boot/Golden Ball I don't understand your hate about Ronaldo.
I think the best way for your opinions to be factored in is for you to add a vote really mate. I know you're not so interested in historical football and bygone players, but from the time when you were following the sport you could do it and IceBlood would be pleased to have your vote included I think. I think the aim is the thread is more about voting than heated arguments anyway, but I'm not saying it wasn't ok to add your views in this post. For what it's worth in my 2016 vote I did place Messi ahead of C.Ronaldo (as did wm442433, with Messi in 1st, plus Tom Stevens and ehsan a, just looking at voters from the original panel whose votes I put on a spreadsheet), so there is some nuance/deviation there I suppose. Taking the 2015/16 season though Messi did miss a portion of the season (when Neymar came to the fore) I suppose didn't he, although still having a fairly full season's worth of football overall. I don't think I'd rate C.Ronaldo's play in Euro 2008 above his play in Euro 2016 to be honest (going from memory here rather than trying to refresh it right now, but I'd say the most legitimate reason to vote anyone else 1st for the 2008 vote could even be his Euros performances, but then again Fernando Torres didn't really set the tournament alight with great form either, even though he got the winning goal in the Final and was hindered by fitness issues). Possibly the heel flick goal vs Hungary would be a better quality single moment than any in 2008 too from him (but I'm thinking more of general form and overall output of course).
Thanks @aidin mate, and welcome to the thread/board - I will use this post (the one where you edited your quoted section - post #904 - it's invisible in this reply of mine even though I'm quoting it though haha!), even though I repped your first one. When I get round to showing the new updates for the 00s and 2010s (and up to and including 2021) I will factor in your votes as well as the effect of Gregoire's, and of course when it comes time to tally up the 2022 votes yours can be included too (the one you already posted, or even an amended version if you wanted to fully consider the rest of the calendar year for that one too, including the World Cup of course, albeit like I said before with the real Ballon d'Or the World Cup this time is belonging to 22/23 i.e the 2023 Ballon d'Or is relevant, not 2022, so it depends whether we go with that or stick with the older method....for those of us like you and me that weren't already going by seasons only, which is maybe half of the voters or a bit less than that now).
No problem, my friend, consider it until 2021 and leave 2022 for the end of the year In this season, until now, in my opinion, Haaland has been the best, followed by Neymar and Messi Thanks to you

I think it is somewhere between 20 and 30 voters now who have voted altogether (maybe mid-way between those numbers approximately), but it less than 20 for every individual year/season vote I think, but close to 20 for most or all of them too. Maybe that is not 100% accurate, but I thought I'd let you know vaguely anyway (I'd need to go back and count things up to be more precise although perhaps it can be done from looking at the results too in most cases in theory). I have a spreadsheet for votes by the original panel and then I add other votes in afterwards as I go along.

Sorry, this is about right for Big Soccer voters I think, and for all voters before the year 2000, but for this century there are quite close to 20 voters from Reddit alone in quite a few of the latter years, so overall more than 30 voters for some years possibly, or close to it anyway (and more than 20 from the 2000s onwards). Overall, between Big Soccer and Reddit there have been overall between 30 and 40 voters, not between 20 and 30.

Anyone have an opinion, but was Ronaldo really not among the top 3 in 2016? He was the best player in CL He was among the top 3 in La Liga Although he had negative points in Euro, he was still among the top 3 players In CL 2016 for the 16-17 season, in the group stage in the 6 games he played, he created 5 big chance more than anyone what I now say this is fact Ronaldo in 2016<Best Suarez in Barclona and Griezman in Ateltico
