Quiz, anyone?
The start of a new season often means a little reflection – and with the World Cup in the rearview mirror now, we're taking stock of those who have flourished in the last 12 months.
The Ballon d'Or is the biggest individual prize in the sport, and once again this year, there will be a plethora of Premier League stars nominated. Will any of them win? We'll find out in the coming months, but now, tell us who's reached the shortlist over the years: 15 minutes on the clock, 252 players to guess.

Let's see if your memory can transition smoothly from individual glory to club dynasties and rapid-fire stats: we've assembled a high-tempo tactical lineup designed to stretch your footballing IQ to its limits, courtesy of Kwizly.
We’re keeping the elite individual theme alive before widening the scope to global trophy hardware. First, we want you to look past the headline award winners and test your deep-cut knowledge by naming every Ballon d'Or top 10 of the 2000s, honoring the brilliant podium contenders and iconic performers who defined a legendary decade of European football. Once you’ve audited that elite ensemble, pivot to global silverware to test your macro-level perspective: can you order these 40 teams by how many trophies they have?
Next, name every single Champions League winner in order in four minutes, a frantic race against time that demands absolute precision under pressure. Following that clock-busting challenge, shift your focus to the creative architects of the English top flight and see if you can name every player to have registered 15+ assists in a Premier League season. From legendary pass-masters to single-season breakout visionaries, let's see if your statistical scouting network is completely world-class.
