@IceBlood34 I've realised that as well as having Bergkamp in 4th and 5th for 1997 (I have just included the points for 4th but of course if a 5th choice is still named then I can add a point on for another player yet), he has Iniesta in 3rd and 4th for 2011 (so I am just including his points for 3rd, and one point for his 5th placed Radamel Falcao - I wonder whether it is meant to be Xavi in 4th or 3rd given he's named Iniesta in both places but of course I don't know and it could just be an error without another player in mind too - I can add another point for Falcao and another one for someone else, or more points for a player in 3rd or 4th, potentially knocking one off Iniesta, if clarification arrives on that via @anamnesis del fútbol perhaps) 2010 Ballon d'Or Revisited panel consensus 1 Lionel Messi (Argentina/Barcelona) -

One other adjustment I'll be making to the points to reflect Titanlux's updated listing (albeit not absolutely final in the sense he didn't make the full reviews on his new thread as yet...but the one we will use for your project in the end IceBlood, as I guess you are closing things down soon and making your summaries and templates, and as Titanlux said there are unlikely to be significant changes to his choices for these latest years at this point anyway): https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/b...-bigsoccer-users.2119696/page-4#post-40323447 https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/b...bigsoccer-users.2119696/page-93#post-42522789 2001 Ballon d'Or Revisited: Kahn +1, Beckham -1 No change to 2022 https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/b...bigsoccer-users.2119696/page-50#post-41216722
