    Messi
    Xavi
    Iniesta
    C. Ronaldo
    Sneijder
    Ozil
    Tevez

    Ronaldo is definitely in the top two in my opinion, no doubt about it.

    Xavi would be my third choice.

    Ronaldo will deffos come 2nd he is having the season of his life and last time he won the Ballon d'Or his goal scoring wasn't as good as this season. He's had such a good season he's even pushing Messi all the way.

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic, for his sheer ability to win matches on his own. I cant see many other players on that list with the same talent

    1st Lionel Messi
    2nd Cristiano Ronaldo
    3rd Xavi

    Well if thats your theory that means Iniesta shouldn't have came 2nd last year:bbpd: As he wasn't in the top 3......

    No, that's terrible reasoning from you.

    Ronaldo shouldn't be considered automatically the second best player in the world, one of the reasons being that he wasn't officially even in the top three last year, so why should he now be up there without even consideration of those who were above him (Iniesta and Xavi). That isn't to say that Ronaldo won't come second or maybe even first in the Balon d'Or at the end of 2011, but I'm sure they will still have to vote on it, not just give him it because he is Cristiano Ronaldo.

    I am not giving it to Ronaldo just because he is Cristiano Ronaldo. 46 games played 41 goals 13 assists is why I gave him it. It's his best ever season the last time he came 1st(In Ballon d'Or) his stats weren't as good as this seasons.

    I don't think it's terrible reasoning. It's what you said only I changed the players about.

    I think Schweinsteiger should be considered althoo not 3rd best in the world he is one of the best.
