Would love to see Saka or Vini Jr. make the podium, but I imagine it will be Mbappe in that 3rd spot, with Messi getting his final Ballon d'or before the age of Haaland begins.

Hard to look past Bonmati for the women's, though Kerr's Chelsea performances and the thunderbolt against England could potentially play spoiler. Can't rule out Daly, Earps and Bright, but I imagine the voters will feel the Lionesses' year was 2022, and we'll have Bonmati, Kerr, Popp.
