I really don't understand how Griezmann ended ahead of him. He was a big choker, Suarez was effective, and had more goals and assists.

He has a pretty face, good boy looks and is from the same country that gives the award... On top of that he hasn't bitten anyone

Suarez had Messi in his team. Griezmann got reasonably close to two titles "on his own", and is a new face.

Earlier french media wore saying Griezmann should have won the year but based on stats and team results he shouldn't be anywhere near it.

I agree but this years Balon D'or has nothing to do with FIFA anymore. My guess is Suarez won't even be in top 5 in Best FIFA Men's player voting.
Been poor this season and had no impact on the Copa America.
I'd be tempted to put him above Griezmann for bottling the two finals and Ronaldo because he hasn't played well most of the year and their goal record is similar even without Suarez scoring all the Penaldo's.
I think Messi and Griezmann should probably have been 1 and 2. Ronaldo or Suarez third

Suárez didn't even play in Copa America due to injury, pretty hard to make an impact then.
As I said he had no impact. Messi got Argentina to the Copa final and played well in the tournament. Ronaldo won the Euros and Griezmann top scored and got France to the final. Suarez can only be judged on his club form.
I suppose you believe Atletico's defensive record is down to Griezmann.
Let's face it, Atletico have had better attacking players/play in previous years (Costa, Falcao, Aguero, Forlan). The reason they won/challenged for trophies is because their defence was better than in the past.
How many trophies would Barca be on if their defence was as good?

You suppose wrong. What I said is pretty clear, Griezmann is by far the most mediatic and talented player in the team. Where are the other Atletico players in individual rankings ? Griezmann, for better or for worse, gets all the glory. Hence the "on his own", between brackets. Most football fans would be hard pressed to name another atletico player. And he truly was the best player for France in the euro.
Meanwhile MSN all get a piece of the action at barça. Everyone knows Neymar and Suarez (and busquets and piqué and iniesta). This creates the perception that their individual achievements aren't as important, it's only logical. So it's not surprising to me that Griez was ranked over Suarez, and it certainly has nothing to do with his nationality or "nice face". It's about being a new face, and sole superstar in his team.

He'll sign his renewal tomorrow, until 2021 + one optional year.
