Ballon d'Or 2024-2025 race

Yamal runs the show and yet Raphinha has more assists and over 20 to boot, but hey, the offense does not run through him at all.
You obviously watch more than me, but every time I’ve seen Barca, Pedri runs the show in the midfield and Yamal runs the show up front. Raphinha puts up numbers because he is in the right spots but is also vastly outperforming his xG and if the most interchangeable of the three. None of this means he is bad, it’s just not BDO for me.
 
Dumfries Ballon d'Or 🙃

in a weak defensive league or do we only attribute that to German players?
Rather than weak defensive league, I'd say all out offensive league. There are some quality defensive players in Buli, but the tactics are entertainment above all. Which is quite nice.
But yeah that works for Olise too. Maybe we need to get his CL numbers to compare?
4 frenchmen in the top 5 is nice. All 3 L1 players produced just as much in Europe.
 


A lot of context missing there, primarily that Dembele played up top a majority of the time and the vast majority of the players I can make out on that graph did not. That’s not to say Dembele didn’t have an excellent season, but he really shouldn’t be on that graph.

The players on the graph weren't selected on position. They were selected on results.
 


So Vitinha is now ranked 3rd in BdO race per bookmakers.
Seems some here need to reexamine how they watch (or don't) football.

Might be an issue with translation, but I don't understand the percentages of that post. Just by adding the percentages of the top two, it exceeds 100%.
 
Is it your way of acknowledging you wrote crap about him? And Gusto? And so many others?
When I "was writing crap" about him he was closer to the player that was let go by the Wolves for free than he player he is now. He has progressed a lot, filled into his body and could probably step into every midfield in the world.

Gusto is still ass though, but he's young so only way to go is up.

I don't hate every French player you know, check out my old messages where I was hyping Barcola and Olise (back when he was at Reading!) before you were.
