How does Ballon d’Or voting work?
A pool of 30 candidates is first assembled by editors from France Football together with L’Équipe. Once that shortlist is set, one reporter representing each of the 100 highest-ranked FIFA nations casts a ballot naming their top ten choices for the men’s award.
Points are allocated in descending order—15 for a first-place selection, then 12, 10, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 for the rest. All ballots are added together to form the overall standings. If two players finish with the same score, the number of first-place votes is used as a tiebreaker. If that is also equal, second-place votes are compared, then third, and so on until the tie is broken.

By what standards did Yamal manage 1059 points but Raphinha could manage only 620? Raphinha was Barcelona's best player last season and deserved that second spot. if only Raphinha had Barcelona's support and Yamal like PR , he might have given a neck to neck competition to Dembele.
