The Ballon d'Or nominations are a joke.

News about the player in the attached image has surfaced.
I'm also attaching the player's stats as of October.
Where exactly does a player who only appeared in one official match by October, with a rating of 6.0 in that game, have the credentials to be nominated for the Ballon d'Or?
Please don't ruin the game with such a sloppy system.
