The 30 Ballon d'Or nominees have been revealed - but who should win the prestigious prize?

Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and The Best FIFA's Men's Player award winner Luka Modric all made the list, along with Premier League stars Eden Hazard, Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane.

The list is curated by the editorial office of France Football, and the winner is then picked by a panel of international journalists, with one representative per country.

But we want to know how you would rate the contenders.

Remember the criteria for the Ballon d'Or are: the players' performances during the calendar year, their talent and fair play, and their achievements throughout their career.
