N'Golo Kante and Harry Kane were the Premier League's only two players to rank inside the 2017 top 10.
Chelsea's tireless midfielder added to his 2017 PFA Player of the Year award with a slot at number eight in the rankings, the highest of any Premier League player, with Luka Modric (5) the only centre midfielder above him.
Kane was the tenth-highest ranked nominee, but tellingly, the only forwards he trailed were Robert Lewandowski (9), Kylian Mbappe (7), Neymar (3), Lionel Messi (2) and Cristiano Ronaldo (1), suggesting the Tottenham striker truly ranks among the world's elite forwards.
Kevin De Bruyne (14), Eden Hazard (19) and David De Gea (20), completed the Premier League's top 20 entries, with Sadio Mane (23) and Philippe Coutinho (joint 29) rounding-off the Premier League's remaining highest-ranked players.
Six of the 30 names on this year's Ballon d'Or top 30 come from the Premier League, two less than the eight names that graced 2016's list, but of those names, De Bruyne is the only player from England's top flight to rank inside the top 30 in 2016 and 2017.
Cristiano Ronaldo took home the main prize to mark yet another stellar year. The Real Madrid star was instrumental in ending Los Blancos five-year La Liga drought, while Zinedine Zidane's men became the only side in history to successfully defend their Champions League title.
Ronaldo joins Lionel Messi as one of the only two players in history to be crowned the world's best player on five separate occasions, with Real Madrid boasting six players inside the top 30 for the second consecutive season.
