Our next Expert Jury member earned his place by winning last year’s Total Player Award – the one and only Gergo Zalanki!
The talented left-hander from Hungary, who currently plays for Olympiacos, is widely regarded as one of the most skillful and versatile players in the game today. With his incredible shooting ability and proven track record on the biggest stages, Zalanki’s insight will bring immense value to this year’s jury.
We’re excited to have last year’s champion help us crown the best in water polo for the 2023/24 season!
Here is his Total 7:
Goalkeeper: Soma Vogel (Hungary)

Centre forward: Ben Hallock (USA)
Right side 1: Dusan Mandic (Serbia) – MVP
