FIFA 21 Experiment Predicts The Next 15 Winners Of France Football’s Ballon d'Or Award

A YouTuber has used career mode in the upcoming FIFA 21 to predict the next 15 winners of France Football's coveted Ballon d'Or prize.

France Football has already announced that the 2020 edition of the prestigious award has been cancelled due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski had been tipped as the favourite to win the now-cancelled 2020 Ballon d'Or after a scintillating season.

YouTuber BCHDGaming has now simulated FIFA 21 career mode to find out who will win the Ballon d'Or on the next 15 occasions.
