Michel Platini, Sheikh Al-Sabah and Sheikh Al Khalifa
1. Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah
Chances: Quite good
The sports powerbroker from Kuwait already rules the roost in Olympic circles and Asian football. He has just been elected to FIFA's executive committee and if he stands could pick up old Blatter loyalists.
2. Michel Platini
