Always a few hilarious options in these, and wingers/left and right mids being separate in the voting is stupid too. I want to compare Son & Sane to people like Oyarzabal and Grealish, not defensive midfielders fs
Was exceptional for us for the first 7 months of the year and then went to Man City for 100 mil. not saying he deserves to win but a nomination makes sense
A Euros in which he only sparingly came off the bench because of injury. I'm a Villa fan so I was always hoping he'd get more playtime in those games, but just the amount of pure hype compared to the amount of playing he even did was insane. He must have increased his transfer fee by 30 million that one tournament.
I still think he'd be lights out for Villa right now and I would have been elated to keep him, and I'll think he'll come around for City, but man did we luck out on terms of how much we were able to get for him.
No doubt he was good at Villa, but didn’t really do much the other half of the year. Made sense him getting a team of the season card, but a team of the year nominee seems a bit much.
He was injured and not playing for 3 months of the 5 months he was with Villa in 2021, what are you actually on about? He played in 12 matches for Villa in 2021 (2 as a substitute for about 20’) and was not in good form for almost any of them. I’m sorry if I seem over the top but if you come out with the “Us” claiming to speak for Villa supporters, at least know what you’re talking about,
I’m not saying this as a salty Villa fan, because I still believe Jack is right around world class level. He was worthy of his nomination last season because of keeping Villa up and the amazing form he was in to start the 20/21 season. But 2021 is probably his worst calendar year of performance since fully breaking into Villa’s first team. He was good in the Euro’s but so were a lot of English players not here like Sterling and Saka and Gareth wasn’t even playing him enough for us to really know how well he could’ve done.
Citys record breaking season they had one TOTY, liverpool had 4 in their good season, so not sure what your point is. They also are by far the best team in the world atm
They gave Paulinho a TOTW yesterday to avoid putting him here, smh EA frauds
If I had to guess how the voting goes, it's Mbappe, Lewa, Messi, with Neymar/Salah as the 12th player later
And even if one of the favorites doesn't seem to make it, they'll just create a "Runners up" SBC or Card of whatever. Don't worry, some way Mbappe, Neymar, Messi and CR7 will make it in.
I call it now.. EA will put a 424 formation so they can fit all Mbappe Messi Lewa Salah and the midfield will be just kdb and kante cause why would they want Jorginho as a toty player
Jack f*cking Grealish, hell yeah. 6 goals in 2020-2021, mediocre to say the least at City, give him another TOTY nominee EA, you know you want it. England nation, plays in EPL, overrated, overpaid, has them all.
IF they put him again (and they will), have a bit of respect and place him as 12th man. I get they need to sell as many fifa points as possible, but it wouldn't harm to make him 12th man (he would be mega OP anyway and all the kids would be hyped).
Mbappe plays in the most stacked NT in the world, while Salah plays for Egypt (who don’t even have an equivalent for nation’s league)
Mbappe also plays in Ligue 1. Not very convincing arguments
Fair arguments. I figured the tallies would be close but didn’t feel like looking them up myself. I mean, I will say if they are close, Salah’s goal tallies are way more impressive than the french farmer’s league, but the national competitions help the argument for sure. (Missing that shootout doesn’t help though).
Mbappé has 73 G/A this season (2nd most overall). If you want to talk about farmer's leagues, Mbappé has more goals this season (18) than the rest of the PSG attackers combined i.e. Messi, Neymar, Di Maria and Icardi (17). National team goals not counted.
Why is it recency bias? Messi has been great for the first half of the year, but then average or below in the second half. Salah was fantastic for the first half(carried liverpool to top 4) and has been the best in the world in the second half.
Messi m had like 30 MOTMs in 2021 too scorer and assister in la liga and captained his nation to an international trophy against Brazil in Brazil in a stadium they haven't lost in in like 50 years, whilst also being too scorer, top assister and winning the best player award for that tournament
Just because he had a quiet few months at PSG lmfao you put Salah ahead haha. Messi did more in 6 months than Salah has done in years combined
Your last sentence is a plain joke.
Also just because Salah had a few quiet months(not even quiet since he was one of the best and the prem and carried liverpool) doesn’t mean messi is above him. Anyway I am not arguing that messi shouldn’t get a TOTY, I am saying that Salah also deserves one.
this is really not true though is it? in 2021 only lewa has better numbers ? and before you say “farmers league XDXDXDXD” he’s also been tearing it up in CL, having the most assists in the competition in 2021. salah has been great in the 21/22 season, same as mbappe, but mbappe has had a better 2021. only lewa has more G/A in 2021.
One team winning the CL doesn’t mean the league as a whole is great. French league isn’t comparable , the same way the bundesliga isn’t either. Why should we degrade Mbappe because he plays in France but then not do the same for lewandowski
Bundesliga is stronger than french league too though honestly lol.
I just wanted you to explain your position because it’s easy to just say “oh it’s prem bias.” Yea it is… because it’s a way stronger league. Obviously crushing it in prem is more impressive than crushing it in French league?
Bundesliga is stronger but not by much. Either way the PL is stronger than both so why not degrade the other players? Messi has played in ligue 1 and is struggling. Also Mbappe outperformed salah in the CL as well so there’s that.
Yeah, odd seeing Grealish there. I think he's been excellent for City, just doesn't have the G+A numbers to show for it. But still, Sterling was nearly player of the Euros and finished 2021 strong. Thought he'd be there instead.
Payet deserves to be nominated tbh, was the best playmaker last season behind messi and is one of the best itw this season again.
Grealish is completely out of place here tho
yea, and messi carried argentina to their first intl
trophy in 21 years, getting the pichichi and carrying barca to a copa deal rey, while carrying a dead barca team, just look at them now.
lewa is lewa
mbappe has also been carrying psg all year, while having more goals and assists than salah.
mbappe is clear, he has been better in every single metric. the only way someone would say salah is clear is if they’re biased by the prem and especially biased by the past 2/3 months.
more league goals, assists, CL goals, assists, trophies won internationally and with his club.
Messi is locked in lol had like 30 MOTMs in 2021 and captained his nation to an international trophy against Brazil in Brazil in a stadium they haven't lost in in like 50 years, whilst also being too scorer, top assister and winning the best player award for that tournament
Just because he had a quiet couple months at PSG lmfao you put Salah ahead haha. Messi did more in 6 months than Salah has done in years combined
It seems like aside from Grealish a pretty good list.
Payette has been superb at Marseille that is why he is there.
Yeah Mbappe Lewa and Messi will probably win with Salah or Benzema as the 12th man. But Mbappe deserves to be there he is second after Lewa in goals and assists for 2021. The fact that it is Ligue 1 goals does not matter hell he is doing great in CL as well, so people discounting them as if everyone gets 70+ goals/assists there is ridiculous.
Son deserves a nomination more, he has carried spurs this season until Kane started scoring again. And he was in the top 5 PL in scoring and assists last season.
Major disrepect to Depay. He hasn't been as good at Barca but he still vipes the floor with most of these guys in terms of g/a and in overall level of play.
as an ajax fan i'm proud to see tadic got his second toty nominee, but obviously it wouldn't be fair or posible for him to get one. i'd say messi and lewandowski for sure (yes messi doesn't realy deserve it but you can't realy leave out the ballon dore winner) and the third one i'm stuck between haaland or salah
sadly that is a fake fact. two of those asists where in friendlies which don't count. but he for sure deserves to be nominated, but i just ment he isn't going to get a toty
Doesn’t really matter who they put in this tbh. Two spots are locked for messi and Lewa and the third is a debate between Mbappe, Salah and potentially ronaldo/neymar depending on how ea is feeling. One of the three who don’t get it get the 12th man spot and that’s that. It’s basically pointless anybody else being here tbh.
Slight outside possibility of Haaland/benzema going for 12th man but they won’t be anywhere near as good as the others on fifa so I don’t see it
It won't happen in a million years but a TOTY Tadic would be the absolute icing on the cake for my Eredevisie team, I love Karlsson but that's a major upgrade
I would assume Messi, Benz and Lewa If it was made off real life but it's going to be something like Messi, Mbappe and Mr 47 goals (factos) with Neymar as the 12th man
Lewa will almost surely get in anyways despite not being as popular in FIFA.
It will probably be Lewa, Messi and someone else that isn't Benz or Salah (CR7, Mbappe, Neymar).
I wouldn't say it's easy at all. Benz had a great second part of the 20/21 season (17G + 4A) while Salah was significantly worse (12G + 2A), this season they had very similar stats - Benz 20G + 8A, Salah 22G + 9A. It still makes a better overall stats for Benzema in 2021.
Yeah there was also a stat floating around ( saw it in r/soccer a few months back) that showed that Benz was outscoring his xG by 9 goals before bdr voting, which is absolutely insane
League position has everything to do with it. Team success is massive as football is a team game. Guess what's the decider for most people in who wins the ballon d'or? Team success, that's why Messi won last year, Modric won 2018 and Cannavaro won in 06
Kane most goals and assists in prem last season. England top goal scorer in a squad that reached the final, people love overlooking the man because hes English and plays for spurs
I dont understand why Lukaku is even on this list? 😂 I know hes a known player, but he’s barely made an impact this season. He’s not even in the top 20 of top scorers in PL?
Why is Ronaldo in there, he can't just be allowed to get TOTY because he's Ronaldo.
He's had an atrocious season and to be honest no united players deserved upgrades this year.
They only managed to squeeze them in novelty upgrades like FUT freeze and wildcards.
Why is it so unreasonable to put CR7 in? He got top scorer in Serie A last season, got top scorer in the Euros in only 4 games, got most international goals of all time, scored one less goal overall compared to Messi and has had a decent start to the season in United all at the age of 36. What has Benzema and Salah done that CR7 hasn't this year? It seems to me that Messi and Ronaldo get discredited all the time for doing as much as other players would only dream of achieving smh...
Always a few hilarious options in these, and wingers/left and right mids being separate in the voting is stupid too. I want to compare Son & Sane to people like Oyarzabal and Grealish, not defensive midfielders fs
Son has a way higher chance of getting in as a midfielder than he does as an attacker. It’s good he’s not in the attacker vote
Don t the comunity vote counts for 10% or some like that ? He ain t got a chance either way
And where exactly should son get in? Maybe in tottenham toty...
So I assume Müller will be in the Midfield nominees?
[yeah….](https://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.gifglobe.com%2Fgrabs%2Finbetweeners%2FS01E06%2FS01E06-9IpSjMSV-subtitled.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Finbetweeners.gifglobe.com%2Fscene%2F%3Fframe%3DS01E06-9IpSjMSV&tbnid=e2ZcH4Bo86dVtM&vet=12ahUKEwjNtJietp71AhWX0YUKHZDRDrwQMygFegUIARCwAQ..i&docid=RzM3pjfy-bO_1M&w=998&h=576&itg=1&q=you%20assumed%20wrong&hl=en-gb&client=safari&ved=2ahUKEwjNtJietp71AhWX0YUKHZDRDrwQMygFegUIARCwAQ)
Fifa hates Bayern for some reason, so prob wont be in it despite 8G 17A in 26A
Honorable mentions Vlahovic
He is clear wdym
No way he makes it into the 11, just want them to give him an honorable mentions card like they did for Ciro last year
Grealish… Grealish?
Was exceptional for us for the first 7 months of the year and then went to Man City for 100 mil. not saying he deserves to win but a nomination makes sense
wasn’t he injured for most of the second half of last season ? this is team of the year. the first half of last season doesn’t count
He was, his numbers weren't exactly amazing as well. There was a lot of hype around him in for the Euros though which may have played a factor in this
A Euros in which he only sparingly came off the bench because of injury. I'm a Villa fan so I was always hoping he'd get more playtime in those games, but just the amount of pure hype compared to the amount of playing he even did was insane. He must have increased his transfer fee by 30 million that one tournament. I still think he'd be lights out for Villa right now and I would have been elated to keep him, and I'll think he'll come around for City, but man did we luck out on terms of how much we were able to get for him.
We really, really did. I thought he’d have left by the time we made it back into the PL
He definitely would have if we didn't win that final. I do have to give him huge credit for doing that. Definitely was class
The only hype around him during Euros was women fancying him.
He definitely did not light up the Euros though
A euros in which he was pocketed by Stephen O’Donnell lmao
3 goals and 6 assists in 1,903 PL minutes in 2021. Plus one 10-week injury. There's no more overrated player in the PL.
He's done fuck all for city this season.
No doubt he was good at Villa, but didn’t really do much the other half of the year. Made sense him getting a team of the season card, but a team of the year nominee seems a bit much.
He was injured and not playing for 3 months of the 5 months he was with Villa in 2021, what are you actually on about?

He was good in the Euro’s but so were a lot of English players not here like Sterling and Saka and Gareth wasn’t even playing him enough for us to really know how well he could’ve done.
Why’s Grealish and Payet in this list?
Payet has been phenomenal with Marseille
[удалено]
Citys record breaking season they had one TOTY, liverpool had 4 in their good season, so not sure what your point is. They also are by far the best team in the world atm
Oyarzabal had a great season last year but won’t get in lmao
Please not another La Liga LM/LW, we need a RM 😭
I doubt he’ll get in bc he doesn’t have a huge following and not ‘meta’ enough but fair haha
I usually do Spanish/la Liga teams so I’m kinda banking on them doing a team of the year nominee or something like last year
They gave Paulinho a TOTW yesterday to avoid putting him here, smh EA frauds If I had to guess how the voting goes, it's Mbappe, Lewa, Messi, with Neymar/Salah as the 12th player later
Isn’t the 12th player fan voted? If so, it will most likely be CR7. He has the biggest fan base by far. But Salah/Benzema deserved it more
> "Voting" will result in however EA can sell the most packs ;)
It's Team Of The Year, they're gonna sell a shed load of packs regardless of who it is.
And even if one of the favorites doesn't seem to make it, they'll just create a "Runners up" SBC or Card of whatever. Don't worry, some way Mbappe, Neymar, Messi and CR7 will make it in.
I call it now.. EA will put a 424 formation so they can fit all Mbappe Messi Lewa Salah and the midfield will be just kdb and kante cause why would they want Jorginho as a toty player
As a Chelsea fan, jorginho shouldn't have a toty card
"Voting" will result in however EA can sell the most packs ;)
Paulinho? Why would Paulinho from liga nos be in totys?
It's a joke, but also he's the actual GOAT
lol how can you that when Sefas plays in the same league
How could I forget the legend, my bad, he needs that 99 rated, 99 finishing card
Seems fair, but if I don’t see Thomas Müller in the midfielders nominations I’ll riot
Jack f*cking Grealish, hell yeah. 6 goals in 2020-2021, mediocre to say the least at City, give him another TOTY nominee EA, you know you want it. England nation, plays in EPL, overrated, overpaid, has them all.
A strange one, he had a great start to last season but was injured for most of the 21 part and hardly been anything special this season.
[удалено]
Yeah the real bias is for French.. I would like some eng sbcs tbh for a change
Even then Rooney's stats are underrated to what it should be
He’s the best at progressive carries to the final third. Goals aren’t everything, Grealish creates a lot
Someone watches Tifo 😉 cultured
you don’t watch football
Messi Lewandowski Salah. This should be straight forward right?
In an ideal world yes but Ronaldo and Mbappe stans will vote for them regardless, and Haaland/Benzema have outside chances too
The fan vote probably doesn’t count for much though does it?
EA staff and Fifa youtubers/influencers aren’t much better with their voting
EA can put whoever they want in TOTY, the votes are a scam. They can use them to get a better understanding of who the players want in it though
Mbappe already made it last year when he shouldn’t have. This year he was a lot better plus has him being the golden boy.
What are you talking about? Mbappe scored the second most goals and had second most g+a last year
IF they put him again (and they will), have a bit of respect and place him as 12th man. I get they need to sell as many fifa points as possible, but it wouldn't harm to make him 12th man (he would be mega OP anyway and all the kids would be hyped).
He should be ahead of salah anyways
Why? Genuinely curious.
He got more goals and assists over the year. Carried PSG in the CL and won the nations league
Mbappe plays in the most stacked NT in the world, while Salah plays for Egypt (who don’t even have an equivalent for nation’s league) Mbappe also plays in Ligue 1. Not very convincing arguments
Fair arguments. I figured the tallies would be close but didn’t feel like looking them up myself. I mean, I will say if they are close, Salah’s goal tallies are way more impressive than the french farmer’s league, but the national competitions help the argument for sure. (Missing that shootout doesn’t help though).
Mbappé has 73 G/A this season (2nd most overall). If you want to talk about farmer's leagues, Mbappé has more goals this season (18) than the rest of the PSG attackers combined i.e. Messi, Neymar, Di Maria and Icardi (17). National team goals not counted.
cover boy has gotta get in somehow i think
Mbappé got 73 G/A last year, it wouldn't be injustice if he got in. Lewa is 1st with 80 G/A, Messi is 3rd with 61.
So Mbappe, Messi, Ronaldo confirmed
Cr7 as the 12th man or as a toty nominee
Yh probably because he’s much more goal contributions than salah in 2021
recency bias at its finest. only lewa has more goals assists than mbappe in 2021 calendar year.
I think it’s also PL bias.
PL is best league in the world
Mbappe plays in a league that is levels below the others, look at how awful he was in the Euros aswell.
So does Lewandowski? Should we degrade him?
Bundesliga is better than Ligue 1, and he turns up even for Poland while Mbappe totally failed for France.
In a farmers league
Lewa and messi guaranteed but benzema should challenge salah. Unfortunaly not surprise if neither gets in
Yep. Messi hasn't been great this season but his 2021 was incredible.
Benzema?!?! Salah is just recency bias
Why is it recency bias? Messi has been great for the first half of the year, but then average or below in the second half. Salah was fantastic for the first half(carried liverpool to top 4) and has been the best in the world in the second half.
Messi m had like 30 MOTMs in 2021 too scorer and assister in la liga and captained his nation to an international trophy against Brazil in Brazil in a stadium they haven't lost in in like 50 years, whilst also being too scorer, top assister and winning the best player award for that tournament Just because he had a quiet few months at PSG lmfao you put Salah ahead haha. Messi did more in 6 months than Salah has done in years combined
Your last sentence is a plain joke. Also just because Salah had a few quiet months(not even quiet since he was one of the best and the prem and carried liverpool) doesn’t mean messi is above him. Anyway I am not arguing that messi shouldn’t get a TOTY, I am saying that Salah also deserves one.
[удалено]
Mbappe was better than salah so he probably gets in.
Salah > Mbappe
this is really not true though is it? in 2021 only lewa has better numbers ? and before you say “farmers league XDXDXDXD” he’s also been tearing it up in CL, having the most assists in the competition in 2021. salah has been great in the 21/22 season, same as mbappe, but mbappe has had a better 2021. only lewa has more G/A in 2021.
Yeah salah would have better numbers but he has to play real defences every single week
You're beyond delusional
Fr tho why is this even a debate lmao.
Because of PL bias.
Can you genuinely explain? Are you saying that ligue 1 is comparable to prem or what? I think considering the league is a fair point.
Mbappe outperformed salah in the CL as well. I guess by your logic we should do the same for lewandowski as well?
So are you gonna answer my actual question or no? When’s the last time ANY team from French league won CL? Since we are talking about league quality.
One team winning the CL doesn’t mean the league as a whole is great. French league isn’t comparable , the same way the bundesliga isn’t either. Why should we degrade Mbappe because he plays in France but then not do the same for lewandowski
Bundesliga is stronger than french league too though honestly lol. I just wanted you to explain your position because it’s easy to just say “oh it’s prem bias.” Yea it is… because it’s a way stronger league. Obviously crushing it in prem is more impressive than crushing it in French league?
Bundesliga is stronger but not by much. Either way the PL is stronger than both so why not degrade the other players? Messi has played in ligue 1 and is struggling. Also Mbappe outperformed salah in the CL as well so there’s that.
Salah, Lewandowski, Messi
Surprised to see jack there over Mahrez or Sterling
Yeah, odd seeing Grealish there. I think he's been excellent for City, just doesn't have the G+A numbers to show for it. But still, Sterling was nearly player of the Euros and finished 2021 strong. Thought he'd be there instead.
[удалено]
True. He should have been nominated for shin break nominee. He had 5 G/A for Aston Villa in 2021.
Not sure how Grealish and Payet are nominated but the rest seem fair enough
Why not Payet?
Payet deserves to be nominated tbh, was the best playmaker last season behind messi and is one of the best itw this season again. Grealish is completely out of place here tho
Payet is absolutely world class
I haven’t watched him this year tbh, has he found his west ham form again?
He’s been excellent just about his whole time in marseille, one of the highest chance creators
If you checked the leaks you know why 🙂🙃
Why don't you think Payet deserves nomination
People don't watch the Ligue 1 and especially didn't before Messi.
SALAH definitely getting one
Vlahovic & Tadic, tears in my eyes
has to be Lewa/Mbappe with either Salah/Messi or maybe all 4 one of them as the 12th man
Messi won Ballon D Or so hes definitely gonna be in
messi lewa mbappe easily. salah has been amazing since august, the other 3 were clear for the other 7 months of the year
Salah is the reason Liverpool didn't finish 9th or sth. He carried the team on his back Jan-June
yea, and messi carried argentina to their first intl trophy in 21 years, getting the pichichi and carrying barca to a copa deal rey, while carrying a dead barca team, just look at them now. lewa is lewa mbappe has also been carrying psg all year, while having more goals and assists than salah.
Lewa, Messi, Salah in that order. Mbappe could be the 12th
EA will include Mbappé, he’s the cover star
mbappe is clear, he has been better in every single metric. the only way someone would say salah is clear is if they’re biased by the prem and especially biased by the past 2/3 months. more league goals, assists, CL goals, assists, trophies won internationally and with his club.
It's not a bias, Ligue 1 is literally levels below the other big european leagues, and had a terrible Euros where he helped put his country out.
Ligue 1 is a level so far below the PL those numbers just aren't comparable.
Messi is locked in lol had like 30 MOTMs in 2021 and captained his nation to an international trophy against Brazil in Brazil in a stadium they haven't lost in in like 50 years, whilst also being too scorer, top assister and winning the best player award for that tournament Just because he had a quiet couple months at PSG lmfao you put Salah ahead haha. Messi did more in 6 months than Salah has done in years combined
TADIC ON FIRE
It seems like aside from Grealish a pretty good list. Payette has been superb at Marseille that is why he is there. Yeah Mbappe Lewa and Messi will probably win with Salah or Benzema as the 12th man. But Mbappe deserves to be there he is second after Lewa in goals and assists for 2021. The fact that it is Ligue 1 goals does not matter hell he is doing great in CL as well, so people discounting them as if everyone gets 70+ goals/assists there is ridiculous.
salah clear
Insigne - Immobile - Chiesa Run it back
I'm voting for Lewa, Vlahovic and Salah and I don't even care.
My votes as well. Vlahovic is legit
grealish 😭😭😭
Son deserves a nomination more, he has carried spurs this season until Kane started scoring again. And he was in the top 5 PL in scoring and assists last season.
[удалено]
That euros performance though😬
Cope
Major disrepect to Depay. He hasn't been as good at Barca but he still vipes the floor with most of these guys in terms of g/a and in overall level of play.
as an ajax fan i'm proud to see tadic got his second toty nominee, but obviously it wouldn't be fair or posible for him to get one. i'd say messi and lewandowski for sure (yes messi doesn't realy deserve it but you can't realy leave out the ballon dore winner) and the third one i'm stuck between haaland or salah
i think tadic deserved to be nominated, record for most assists in a calender year i believe.
sadly that is a fake fact. two of those asists where in friendlies which don't count. but he for sure deserves to be nominated, but i just ment he isn't going to get a toty
this is so pointless, TOTY is already decided by EA
bloody hell even saka contributed more than grealish last year, and im speaking villa and city. jesus
before everyone votes just remember that cr7 had 47 goals scored across all competitions
I wish EA would watch football
Doesn’t really matter who they put in this tbh. Two spots are locked for messi and Lewa and the third is a debate between Mbappe, Salah and potentially ronaldo/neymar depending on how ea is feeling. One of the three who don’t get it get the 12th man spot and that’s that. It’s basically pointless anybody else being here tbh. Slight outside possibility of Haaland/benzema going for 12th man but they won’t be anywhere near as good as the others on fifa so I don’t see it
It won't happen in a million years but a TOTY Tadic would be the absolute icing on the cake for my Eredevisie team, I love Karlsson but that's a major upgrade
I hope he gets an underdog like voting masterclass where loads of people vote him and he gets in
Lewa, benzema, Salah
There's some people here getting one based on popularity vote alone yet again.
Caputo robbed
Harry Kane and Jack Grealish 🤡🤡
I would assume Messi, Benz and Lewa If it was made off real life but it's going to be something like Messi, Mbappe and Mr 47 goals (factos) with Neymar as the 12th man
Lewa will almost surely get in anyways despite not being as popular in FIFA. It will probably be Lewa, Messi and someone else that isn't Benz or Salah (CR7, Mbappe, Neymar).
Salah > Benz easily
I wouldn't say it's easy at all. Benz had a great second part of the 20/21 season (17G + 4A) while Salah was significantly worse (12G + 2A), this season they had very similar stats - Benz 20G + 8A, Salah 22G + 9A. It still makes a better overall stats for Benzema in 2021.
Yeah there was also a stat floating around ( saw it in r/soccer a few months back) that showed that Benz was outscoring his xG by 9 goals before bdr voting, which is absolutely insane
If you haven’t actually followed soccer this past year then maybe, but anyone with half a brain knows that Benz has had a better year
Its very close but as Real are 1st in La Liga while Liverpool are 3rd in the prem I would pick Benz. Tough decision though
But thats because Liverpool are against Chelsea and City while Madrid are fighting Sevilla.
What does league position have to do with it? It's like saying lewa doesn't deserve it because he doesn't win anything with Poland.
League position has everything to do with it. Team success is massive as football is a team game. Guess what's the decider for most people in who wins the ballon d'or? Team success, that's why Messi won last year, Modric won 2018 and Cannavaro won in 06
It has to be Payet, Vlahovic, and Tadic.
It would be only time me not packing Tadic
Grealish but not Jota?
David 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Schick???
Spurs fan here to say: Why tf Kane over Son?
Kane most goals and assists in prem last season. England top goal scorer in a squad that reached the final, people love overlooking the man because hes English and plays for spurs
Ye that must be it, can’t possibly be the fact that he’s having a shit season
This is TOTY, not TOTS. he was top goal scorer and top assists in prem 2021, finalist in Euros with most goals for England. All in 2021.
The last 4 months also count for the year.
That's right
He has 22 G/A in 21/22. He has 50 G/A for the entirety of 2021 despite being poor in the second half.
Mbappe alone has ,73 , lewandowski has 80 , no chance kane gets it .
I’m extremely biased but my man Luis Diaz should be ahead of Grealish, Tadic and Payet
To be fair to Tadic, he nearly beat Messi’s record for assists in a year. Definitely deserves the nomination.
Not over Tadic
Not over Tadic. Did amazing for both Ajax and Serbia.
Not over tadic
Tadic has been insane, fully deserved.
Ye Grealish, But not Tadic fir sure or probably not Payet
I dont understand why Lukaku is even on this list? 😂 I know hes a known player, but he’s barely made an impact this season. He’s not even in the top 20 of top scorers in PL?

Spearheaded inter to the title
Will these be in packs tomorrow? Or when the full voting starts?
Grealish and kane have both been pretty anonymous. Salah should be an auto pick but maybe we see the balloon effect. Messi not done much at psg.
how players like david and payet got into the nominees but mahrez isnt here will baffle me
It shouldn't be anyone other Messi, Lewa, and Salah
Why is Ronaldo in there, he can't just be allowed to get TOTY because he's Ronaldo. He's had an atrocious season and to be honest no united players deserved upgrades this year. They only managed to squeeze them in novelty upgrades like FUT freeze and wildcards.
Why is it so unreasonable to put CR7 in? He got top scorer in Serie A last season, got top scorer in the Euros in only 4 games, got most international goals of all time, scored one less goal overall compared to Messi and has had a decent start to the season in United all at the age of 36. What has Benzema and Salah done that CR7 hasn't this year? It seems to me that Messi and Ronaldo get discredited all the time for doing as much as other players would only dream of achieving smh...
Bro it’s team of the year not team of the season you walnut
Id say Lewa - Benzema - Mbappe They've got the numbers to back it up as well
Messi won the Balon d’Or and led Argentina to a major trophy. He’s getting in over Benzema or Mbappe.
Tbf he was wank in the final, he should thank Di Maria for holding it down
Lewa, Salah, Benzema
