If the Ballon D'or ceremony had NBA-type awards...

[Effercon]

Who would win:

- DPoY (Criteria: Wingers/strikers are ineligible, only takes into account defensive contributions)
- MIP
- Rookie of the Year (Criteria: 22 years old and under, made Champions League debut in 2014)

DPoY - Diego Godin - him not being in TotY is a joke, imo

MIP - James Rodriguez

RoY - This one i havent paid enough attention to, I'll decide later

[Man of Steel]

RotY is kind of like the golden boy award, no? Granted the winners aren't always in their rookie year of first team football but similar concept

They ought to recognize defenders more often though.

With that criteria, Sterling seems like the obvious choice

Bruno Martins Indi?

My picks:

DPoY: Mats Hummels
MIP: James Rodriguez
RoY: Bruno Martins Indi

[EArl]

DPOY would be Neur
MIP James for sure
ROY: Sterling
