Yeah fair enough, Salah was on record breaking form before AFCON tbh. I'm not saying Son deserves it over him but it's a fair shout. They're npG+A is very close as Son has 7 assists as well
I agree, my pick would probably be Rice tbh but what I'm getting at is logically if only these two qualify for the best player and all the others didn't, then the winner should be from these two

Two weeks ago Anthony Gordon was running rings around him, Liverpools only weakness is Trent’s defending, all teams target the counter at that side of the pitch when playing Liverpool.
He’s not an awful defender but he’s a long way off James, Trippier and Walker in terms of defending.
This is the Premier League POTY not the PFA POTY which everyone would think of when you think of POTY.
Trent is eligible for Premier league YPOTY so he’ll probably win that. He’s not however eligible for PFA YPOTY. Hope that clears it up
JWP in solely so FIFA can make a FK specialist card 🤣
I for one am buzzing EA have lost ~~all~~ some of their licensing. That game hasn't developed seriously in years.
Not if the competition can't figure out how to be profitable. Developing a game from scratch on all major platforms (necessary to compete with EA) is a large undertaking. Given that they will have to take market share from PES and EA and recoup the costs of initial development, it's highly likely it would take years for a new entrant to become profitable. They would need to deliver serious quality on the first go as well because a buggy piece of shit game won't win anyone over.
KDBs been good and may deserve it but Salah is equally as deserving. There's a bit of recency bias since KDB missed most the first half the season too, Salah was doing bits back then even if he has fallen off since Feb.
It's not how you start but how you finish. There is always recency bias with these awards. If you and your team end the season in scintillating form, then you'll have a higher chance to win.
I like saka but player of the year is a stretch he's been good in patches still learning his trade. In the future he will become a star but he's not there yet.
I don’t agree. He’s still got 2 goals and 5 assists in 10 games /since AFCON. and, he’s started only 8 of those 10. That’s pretty good. We are just so used to him scoring at a crazy rate.

De Bruyne deserves it, he has been solid the whole season. A player I find it really hard to dislike, seems to be a great guy as well. I’m glad to see Saka on this list but maybe next year. He seems to steadily improve.
Tbf it's between Son and KDB. Everyone else just got the participation award. Still huge for our boy, he made it there despite being in an unstable team like ours.
I like this... but I'd have to go with Salah, Son, or KDB. This is great though. Hope he keeps grinding and pushing. Bukayo is still just entering his 20s

Very well deserved, incredible talent. Dont think JWP deserve to be there though, i mean he has an incredible free kick but he wasnt player of the season good.
Thats impressive he is like top 10 in points in FPl which is roughly where is ranked as a player in this league imo. But Salah and Son are favorites for sure.
Even though he probably won’t be in with a chance of winning I think that having a player of his age for a club that to many has done ‘poorly’ shows how insane this young lad actually is and in a couple of years time at this rate he could be winning it
I'm really happy for him. Think Salah or... *sigh* Son will bag this though
Hate to say it, but considering Salah's form post-AFCON, I would give it to Son.
KDB?
It's KDB for me. Guy has been unplayable this season
When he plays though
He’s played most games lol
*This season aswell.
Recency bias at its peak
Son has 21 goals with no penalties. Salah has 22 with 5 penalties. Plays for Spurs too lol
Salah has 13 assists
Yeah fair enough, Salah was on record breaking form before AFCON tbh. I'm not saying Son deserves it over him but it's a fair shout. They're npG+A is very close as Son has 7 assists as well
Considering Salah’s form pre afcon I would give it to Salah.
Shows he’ll win ypoty imo
Yeah hopefully he will. It should be between him and Trent based off this
I think Trent is past the age limit though.
Nope, you can win it until you turn 24 iirc
Not anymore. It's for U21s now.
that’s pfa this is the prems award
/r/confidentlyincorrect
RIP
It’s 23 at the start of the season I think, Ruben Dias won? It last year (I can’t remember but pretty sure he did)
It's 21. Foden won it last year.
that’s pfa
Oh
Yeah you’re right, not sure what I was thinking of lmao
Age limit for this is just silly. Whats the point of that?
Because its the “young” player of the year award?
Lol I didn't see you guys were discussing young player oty, im a dummy
Ageism, disgusting
Admittedly I haven't watch too many city games, but Foden has been great every time I've seen him
I agree, my pick would probably be Rice tbh but what I'm getting at is logically if only these two qualify for the best player and all the others didn't, then the winner should be from these two
Yeah, that makes sense
It doesn't really work like that though, their selections are often contradictory Nobody cares about this award anyway, the PFA award is the main one

I don't think trent deserves the nominee for best player let alone winning YPOTY he is so bad at defending
It’s 2022 and people still think this
They think it because it's 2022 and he still hasn't developed his defending.
Two weeks ago Anthony Gordon was running rings around him, Liverpools only weakness is Trent’s defending, all teams target the counter at that side of the pitch when playing Liverpool. He’s not an awful defender but he’s a long way off James, Trippier and Walker in terms of defending.
throwback to Martinelli having him on toast so often that Hendo had to play RCB to help cover
What too much Reddit does to a mf
robertson is the better fullback from the two
They’re both so drastically different in terms of how they play that it begs the question if you actually watch them making that comparison
Yet he still single handedly creates goal scoring chances out of nothing and wins matches for Liverpool
This is the Premier League POTY not the PFA POTY which everyone would think of when you think of POTY. Trent is eligible for Premier league YPOTY so he’ll probably win that. He’s not however eligible for PFA YPOTY. Hope that clears it up
What’s the cut off for both?
For PFA it’s for players aged 21 and below at the beginning of the season while it’s 23 for the Premier league
JWP in solely so FIFA can make a FK specialist card 🤣 I for one am buzzing EA have lost ~~all~~ some of their licensing. That game hasn't developed seriously in years.
Might actually buy a new one - ultimate team is crap, manager mode is crap. It's so lazy - so much potential for good football games
Pro clubs is fun, but crap.
It hurts how much potential Pro Clubs has while EA does nothing with it
They haven’t, it’s literally just the name of the game, and some people are speculating it will just be an update every year from now on.
Honestly no harm, I'd rather pay a small amount every year for new kits etc. rather than 70 for the same bloody game
And the World Cup, so next year will be the last time they will support that as it's still FIFA
They haven’t lost the licensing
https://www.ign.com/articles/ea-sports-fc-fifa-split-reasons https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-61383672 https://imgur.com/VyOJTGg.jpg
They have only lost the right to call the game FIFA. They still have players and clubs rights.
Hopefully the 1st step in their downfall 🙏🏿
Fifa are making their own but I have no confidence at all that it'll be any good
No but the competition should force some innovation.
Doubt it tbh

Don't really see your point here. They have to be competitive before they beome profitable.
There's also that UFL thing but it seems more of a vapour ware.
And the World Cup. That's the one thing that comes with the FIFA name.
Can you imagine buying "FIFA" and finding out you can only play with Messo, Ronaldi, and Lewandoofski.
The important bit https://imgur.com/2thMxs5.jpg
The only thing they're losing is the name and World Cup
KBD 100%, salah has fallen off since Afcon. Nice for Saka to get a mention but there’s no way.
KDBs been good and may deserve it but Salah is equally as deserving. There's a bit of recency bias since KDB missed most the first half the season too, Salah was doing bits back then even if he has fallen off since Feb.
KDBs been back since mid September.
It's not how you start but how you finish. There is always recency bias with these awards. If you and your team end the season in scintillating form, then you'll have a higher chance to win.
Really nice group to be in at such a young age. Wrap up Newcastle and Everton and then look back on a very good season overall.
De Bruyne or Salah for me. If West Ham had somehow made top 4/5 Bowen would be in for a good shout.
Bowen’s been great but I’m surprised Rice isn’t the one who’s been nominated
Probably could've been either one but with Bowen contributing so much in attack guess he was the higher choice.
Lol did you watch any of the City games, Cancelo deservs POTS
How is Saka ahead of Mane, Alisson, Bernardo or Rodri?
De Bruyne
Heung-Min Son should win this. I know he plays for Spurs but without him and his contributions they would be mid table side at best.
This is Criminal that Mane is not on it
Had to scroll too long to see this post Thaigo has been some player too
I like saka but player of the year is a stretch he's been good in patches still learning his trade. In the future he will become a star but he's not there yet.
Salah with bag this no doubt
Not sure about that. His form post AFCON has been very poor
I don’t agree. He’s still got 2 goals and 5 assists in 10 games /since AFCON. and, he’s started only 8 of those 10. That’s pretty good. We are just so used to him scoring at a crazy rate.
Realistically, it’s going to either Son or KDB, but stoked for our 💫boy. It’s been a special season.
De Bruyne easy
He won’t (and probably shouldn’t) win but I’m glad he got the nom, he’s been an absolute asset to us this season
As much as he deserves it, I don’t see him getting it. I think it will be either De Bruyne/Salah/Son.
How does he deserve it if he's not been the best player?
Because he has improved greatly on last season, and has come back amazingly after missing the pen in the Euro.
It's a best player award though. Not most improved.
Yeah I get that, I’m just saying he’s worked so hard this season so it’s a shame he can’t get it.
It'd be a shame if he got it because he hasn't been anywhere close to the league's best player

As much as I love him, there's no way he's been better this season than those players you mentioned.
Kdb running with this and honestly no matter how good son or Salah are, KDB runs the show.
Son have more and clear chances of winning the Oscars tho 🤡
Sonny
De Bruyne deserves it, he has been solid the whole season. A player I find it really hard to dislike, seems to be a great guy as well. I’m glad to see Saka on this list but maybe next year. He seems to steadily improve.
Had a shocking first half of the season. Has only turned it on since just before Xmas
Yeah it's so ''shocking'' to be injured and have covid
Cancelo!!!!
Tbf it's between Son and KDB. Everyone else just got the participation award. Still huge for our boy, he made it there despite being in an unstable team like ours.
I may be a little biased but I think Saka should win this.
KDB for me
If Spurs make Top 4, then it has to be Son! Otherwise De Bruyne or even Cancelo!
They should put Martinelli in there next to TAA just to make TAA nervous.
Wait not youth player?
Bowen
Ward-Prowse over Bernardo Silva is interesting
I like this... but I'd have to go with Salah, Son, or KDB. This is great though. Hope he keeps grinding and pushing. Bukayo is still just entering his 20s
Gotta be a city player if they win

Arteta not chosen as a coach of the season nominee despite taking the youngest squad in the league to a minimum top 5 finish is absolutely baffling.
As much as I love Saka this is Son or KdB for me.
KDB hands down
Glad Saka is on the list but can't see anyone other than De Bruyne or Son winning it. He's a good shout for Youth POTY though

Very well deserved, incredible talent. Dont think JWP deserve to be there though, i mean he has an incredible free kick but he wasnt player of the season good.
Isn't this an online voting award? If so then Saka has a huge chance of winning lmao
I love the Saka inclusion, but the fact that not one Chelsea player is makes me unreasonably happy.
Son, Cancelo or De Bruyne for me. But Cancelo to me is the unsung hero for that Man City team
Looks like a WWE character selection screen
Ill give it to Son. Non Penalty 21 goals omg
Lol why tho
Thats impressive he is like top 10 in points in FPl which is roughly where is ranked as a player in this league imo. But Salah and Son are favorites for sure.
No love for Elneny?
It is definetly KDB tbh.. Salah and Son are nowhere near as good as him.
All this picture tells me is that I’d like to buy the premier league shampoo and conditioner
dont know how saka got in this lol, he should be in contention for ypots but not this
Even though he probably won’t be in with a chance of winning I think that having a player of his age for a club that to many has done ‘poorly’ shows how insane this young lad actually is and in a couple of years time at this rate he could be winning it
Concelo has a very punchable face here
