A central defender in the 8th best defence in the league, yeah nah grabbing 7 goals from corners won't help him cut it

Winning the league doesn't mean s**t when giving out TOTY honours.So say Liverpool win the league. Just Suarez in the team of the year then?
Usually it does though, the winning team usually finds themselves with three or four players in the XI.Winning the league doesn't mean s**t when giving out TOTY honours.
Suarez, Gerrard and Sturridge will all make the team.
Meh, we'll see. To be honest I couldnt care less about the TOTY as long as we win the league.And you'll get three in the team, so what's your point? It's not like Liverpool have dominated the league this season like Man United last year.
Yeah cos Hazard hasn't been outstanding or anything.De gea should be in the YPOTY already one of the best gk's in the world.
Sorry was talking about being nominated, Hazard should deservedly win it.Yeah cos Hazard hasn't been outstanding or anything.
PFA player and young player is pretty much a worthless award IMO.
I don't know about that, the players generally rate this as the highest domestic individual honour and for all the talk these awards tend to end up with the right player with a handful of exceptions over the years.
99/00 - Keane* & Kewell*
00/01 - Sheringham & Gerrard*
01/02 - Van Nistelrooy* & Bellamy*
02/03 - Henry* & Jenas*
03/04 - Henry* & Parker
04/05 - Terry* & Rooney*
05/06 - Gerrard* & Rooney*
06/07 - Ronaldo* & Ronaldo*
07/08 - Ronaldo* & Fabregas*
08/09 - Giggs & Young*
09/10 - Rooney* & Milner
10/11 - Bale* & Wilshere
11/12 - RVP* & Walker
12/13 - Bale* & Bale*
I've put a * next to the players who in my opinion deserved the award that season.
00/01 POTY I would have gone with Henry, I remember Sheringham being an odd choice at the time. 04/05 could have quite easily gone to Lampard, ditto Suarez in 12/13, but I wouldn't call Terry or Bale undeserving winners. The results in 09/10 & 10/11 were bizarre, Rooney & Bale won POTY but didn't win YPOTY for which they were both nominated. Giggs over Gerrard in 08/09 for POTY & Walker over Aguero in 11/12 for YPOTY also come to mind as pretty glaring errors.
23/28 since the turn of the century, not a bad strike rate.
Notice the trend, the ones that are questionable are all British
In that case Suarez has no chance to win it this year despite being easily the best player in England.Exactamundo. It's a popularity contest, thats all.
