#2 – Luis Suarez
Luis Suarez is one of the best strikers in the world without a doubt. But did he do anything significant in 2017 to be on the Ballon d'Or shortlist? Nope.
If this list was based on things that were done over the past couple of years and more, there wouldn't be any objection from anyone but 2017 has not been the Uruguayan's year.
He was overshadowed by Neymar and Messi at Barcelona with the departure of the Brazilian, Suarez has not managed to be the same player he was in 2016.
In 2017, Suarez has scored 25 goals for Barcelona but only one of them was scored when Barcelona were in a losing position! Apart from that, just 2 more goals were crucial for Barcelona and the rest were notched in when they were already winning comfortably!
