Short answer:

Messi and Ronaldo have not been in the EPL for many years!

...Or are we gonna pretend like we don't know that only 2 players have shared the top award between themselves from 2009 till 2021??!

EPL was just unfortunate not to have had them in the league in that time frame!

Balloon Dior no dey speak or hear English

They don't have the best players in the world. The best players want to play and live in Barcelona or Madrid.

They don't really play good football, they are just been overrated, media in England do the work for them.

Epl so overhyped ehn. Gardiola don turn am to farmers league sha.

English premiere league is so difficult.
even more difficult than Spanish La-Liga.
It's only in the English premier league that you can win the golden boot by scoring only 19 goals.
Cristiano Ronaldo & other great strikers in all their seasons in the premier league never managed to score more than 50 goals in a season.
It's only in the Spanish la-liga that players like Ronaldo & Messi managed to score 80 goals or more in a calender year because of how easy the league is.
And most times the number of goals you score, determines your position on the balon-dor list.
Even players like Negrado & Jesus Navas who flopped in the premier league, became stars when they switched to La-liga.

If English players were wanted in Spain they would flop there too.

They are not needed or wanted because there are better players from elsewhere who are also, coincidentally cheaper.

Spain has won the World Cup recently because they actually produce top quality players alongside great coaches. England produces terrible coaches and just above average players who get to ride the English media hype train. They have not won a major tournament in almost 70 years.

Most of them not overvalued

HedwigesMaduro:


Even Hazard (who's nothing at Madrid) was a star in the EPL. How about that? Trying to prove you guys don't have a monopoly of brandead takes.

get out.. harzard dropped form. What happened to him still remains a mystery till date. Harzard of chelsea can single handedly destroy any team on a very Good day.

Because they are rarely PLAYMAKERS.
NO DRIBBLING and being in control.
Only shoot at sight.
That's the reason GERMANS rarely win such too

It has been the spanish leagues because of those two guys
Except recent times that benzema and modric won it
Still spanish league
So Ronaldo and messi shared it for decade

Indeed. That's why halaand from farmers league has already scored 17 goals in 11 games. the same number of goals some players only dream of scoring in the entire season

Kick & follow football. Untill recently foreign players were regulated, now they play better football

Not trying to take sides with him bro, but for a second, imagine Haaland in Barcelona, Madrid, or PSG!

Just imagine it!

So which people come get playmakers and how many they don win?

Ronaldo won it... Both Ballondor and FIFA BEST...

No player from EPL has ever won it apart from him

I really wish Messi play in EPL

But fail to rape in ligue 1 with mbape and neymar . Fraud will always be a fraud

Simple answer:

The Club- Clubs with history of winning trophies usually attract the best players and understand how to recruit players with talents

The talent -a talented player in a big club with a huge trophy cabinet will be supported by his club to winning personal recognition like the balon...

Trophies-More trophies better attraction

If you look at football politics..it is dominated by Spanish and other parts of Europe... England dey form say na Dem good pass and stuffs like that...if you check EPL very well except if person blind, you will see that they're Alot of match fixing...which other part of European understand... infact this VAR wey den introduced na to perfect their fraud..check out, how many of their referees are invited for any competition?...EPL na scam jor...but still the most entertaining and most competitive

I sent you a PM sir

I disagree with your assertion that good football is not played in England. Those tasked with the responsibility of voting seem not to be watching the EPL. Thierry Henry was at his best but was denied. Alan Shearer was also denied. See Kevin De Bruyne, Mo Salah and what have you. They're good players that will win the award if they're playing in Spain or Italy or Germany. They're biased towards EPL

HedwigesMaduro:


So, it's difficult for strikers in the EPL to win golden boot in England because the EPL is so tough, right? So, why are EPL strikers not winning the golden boot in European competitions? Oh I know why! They play against "tough" EPL defenders in the UCL and UEL. Smh.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy
Henry
Suarez

All ring a little bell

Michael Owen

I understand you mean barely

Natbrowny:
EPL na hype na. Na only Ronaldo manage break am that year. Well deserved though.

Laliga n Serie A sure.

Michael Owen won it too

How about players like continho, hazard, Alexandra Hleb, Song, e.t.v. that are stars in England but performed woefully in Spain. The fact is that, Joint football is where you can rate player from every part of the world. World cup or champions league, where English league perform less than Spanish. That is all.

In other leagues, their best players play in one team or in the case of Spain and Italy (some years back), 2 teams in the whole league but in EPL, almost every team can retain their stars if they wish to.

So the talent pool spreads across the whole league, this includes the Manger too. That's why you see Kane and Son winning the EPL top scorer but could not win any trophy.

In Spain, every player and Manger wants to go to Madrid or Barca. In Germany, Dortmound cannot even retain their stars because they have to sell them to make money or these stars eventually go to Bayern. In Italy, it used to be AC Millan and Intern Milan in the early 2000s, until recently when Juventus came to the scene and now Italian league is becoming another EPL, their star players are across 4 to 5 teams now and all these teams have good managers.

Even when English teams won UCL, they could not win ballon d'or because bulk of other players goals (Ronaldo and Messi then) came from La Liga. And in la liga, they usually have good games to goal ratio.

In EPL, you see teams spending 300 to 400 million pounds on defender and goal keepers between 2 - 3 years, you hardly see such in other leagues. That's why it's hard for a player to score 30 plus goals consistently in EPL. I think Haaland would change that because he is a generational talent but time will tell.

Michael Owen won it too

Also, 1999 Beckham was cheated for Rivaldo, and 2003, Henry was cheated for Nedved....

Hopeba:
get out.. harzard dropped form. What happened to him still remains a mystery till date. Harzard of chelsea can single handedly destroy any team on a very Good day.

Hazard has had serious injury problems.

The problem in world best is that they award individual player the award. Even when an English team win uefa, they usually don't have any brilliant player like that but instead it is usually a team effort. But u see the Spanish teams like Madrid and barca, people like Ronaldo and Messi will score so many goals that this goals will end up winning many games for them.
