#4 - UEFA Best Player of the Year

Ronaldo has already been awarded the UEFA Best player of the year for 2016. And no one can actually argue why he can win that and not the Ballon d'Or!

The FIFA version of the Ballon d'Or had the coaches and captains of national teams voting for their favourite players but this one has the journalists with the voting power. Journalistic bias naturally will occur, but this season, it would be difficult for anyone to not vote for Ronaldo.

Journalists were the ones who voted for the UEFA Best Player of the Year and they are also the ones voting for the Ballon d'Or. Why would anyone change their vote when Ronaldo's Real Madrid are in top form and are on top of the league?
