Cristiano Ronaldo is once again the favourite to receive the BEST Fifa football award for the second-straight year. The awards ceremony reprised the former Fifa Ballon d'Or ceremony last year, when the Real Madrid ace came out strong.

Familiar faces Lionel Messi and Neymar are still up there, providing competition to Cristiano in his quest to glory.

Last time around, Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann was up there competing for the honours, but this time around, the Frenchman hasn't quite made the list. Neymar's performance for Barcelona has overshadowed the displays of Griezmann in the last season.
