    No defenders in the main award ;hmm

    Would have had Cahill, Luiz or Azpilicueta in there personally
  • alderzalderz
    I'm surprised Sanchez is in there, tbh
  • LukerzLukerz
    I would've had Dele Alli as player of year and Keane as young player. But they're both in one category.

    There's always players that miss out

    Hazard and Kante are dead certs

    Think Ibrahimovic has been amazing, really hard to imagine where United would be if he wasn't there, he gets big goals

    Lukaku is top scorer.....Alexis has gone off the boil recently but he was amazing up untill a month ago...Kane has had another awesome season

    Unfortunately goals win matches and it's easy for them to be nominated

    For me:
    Kante
    Hazard
    Luiz
    Kane
    Alli
    Ibrahimovic

    Mane, silva, coutinho, alexis all have massive seasons

    Young player:
    Sterling
    Sane
    Pickford
    Keane
    Lukaku
    Davies

    Think those for pfa shouldn't be young player either

    I think the categories are bit rubbish, tbh.

    I'd go for Kante POTY and Keane YPOTY. Always ridiculous when the likes of Sterling, Lukaku are selected for the young category, despite players numerous seasons, lots of caps, big money transfers, etc, etc. Even Dele Alli has been a regular on the team sheet for club and country for 18 months. It definitely needs to be reformed to make it more relevant.

    Maybe newcomer of the season

    Don't see why a 21 year old should be penalised because they are consistent and have done it for more than one season

    Yes, 'newcomer' would be good. To differentiate on age seems to me arbitrary.

    If they are good enough, they can be nominated in the POTY category; and take their chances, whatever their age. But it's silly imo that someone can be nominated in both categories.

    N'Golo Kante - Chelsea

    Dele Alli - Tottenham Hotspur

    Very surprising No Tom Davies in YPOTY; Had a great breakthrough year, made a real impact and established himself in very competitive squad.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    The Young Player has to be 23 or under at the start of the season.

    Lukaku was just 18 when he joined Chelsea, on his 19th birthday he had his first Premier League start, he scored his first goal for Chelsea and was made MotM.

    twc

    I don't disagree about Davies impact, because he has been excellent. But, he has only really been in the team since Christmas. I don't think 3 months is enough to justify it, tbh

    Expat only 2 Women tell me what do.

  • tomkinsworldclasstomkinsworldclass
    Alderz, ;thumbsup Some people have mentioned that in reforming the awards there could be a "rookie of the year" category, which is used in the NFL; Davies probably more suited to that and it would be interesting to see who would make the list.
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt

    My vote goes to Victor Moses
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
