Last week he was named the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year and yesterday journalists put him miles ahead of second place Liverpool striker Fernando Torres and third place Portsmouth goalkeeper David James.
It is the second season in succession Ronaldo has received the award.
(Chairman of the FWA) Paul Hetherington: "Ronaldo's award is no surprise after his brilliant form this season and incredible goal-scoring record - 38 at the moment - and he is, of course, essentially a winger.
"Cristiano was an overwhelming winner and, given his age, he has the potential and ability to dominate this award for years in an unprecedented way."
