Messi voted Vini , didn't vote Rodri at all, where's the hate? He voted Mbappe despite their rivals in the in world cup and mistreatment in PSG, where's the hate? Yet some people must criticize

Clearly there's a bias in voting for these awards. I think what should be done is that cards of players stats not bearing their names should be given to the voters to examine and vote based on who has the best stats, that way we can get votes based on merits rather than likeness or affiliations.
