The shortlists for PFA Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year are out

Chelsea, Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs all have players in contention for the top prize.

PFA PFA

CHELSEA PLAYMAKER EDEN Hazard leads the shortlist for both the PFA Player of the Year Award and the Young Player of the Year Award.

It’s the third straight year that the Belgian has been nominated in both categories though he has only won once — last season’s Young Player prize.

Hazard is joined by Chelsea team-mate Diego Costa on the six-man list for the main award which also features Tottenham goal-machine Harry Kane, Manchester United keeper David de Gea, Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho and Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez.

Kane, de Gea and Coutinho are also nominated in both categories along with Hazard, with Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois and Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling completing the list.

    Surely the young player of the year criteria needs to be changed as it’s nearly all the same players…should be no older than 21 to qualify.

    Think it’s 23 and under at the start of the season? Hazard is 24 now.

    How does coutinho get nominated? 4 goals and 4 assists in 26 league games for the 5th placed club. Had one good patch of games and the rest have been average.. baffling!

    Because his ability isn’t just his goals and assists. His general play in linking defence and attack is exceptional and he’s fast becoming the best attacking mid in the league. David Silva looked inept compared to him in the City game; that’s a testament to the quality of the lad. He’s our best player by a mile, and his head isn’t miles up his own arse either, unlike Sterling.

    David Silva is still one of the best players in the league Fran. POTY awards are important, but not getting nominated one season doesn’t mean anything. I’m sure you think Rooney’s an average player now..

    Mata has had a great run in the last 3 games, why is he not nominated?

    Coutinho has had a decent last couple of months but player of the year nominee??…….Charlie Austin deserved a shout ahead of him IMO

    Hazard will probably get the nod,but personally think De Gea deserves it.He’s the main reason United kept the show on the road when they were playing poorly,super keeper.

    Even as a Chelsea fan, I wouldn’t mind it going to de Gea although Courtois has had an incredible first season. He’s only 22!

    Anyway, I hope they mix it up & give it to a keeper.

    De Gea honestly should win this with a landslide, Man U are the position to challenge now as he kept the goals out when the whole team was falling apart…

    In all honesty, without Hazard Chelsea would have seriously struggled since Christmas. He’s been the only reason we’ve won games for the most part.

    Probably will be hazard and kane but its a bit ridiculous to be player of the year but not young player of year if nominated for both.

    Reckon Hazard and Kane respectively. Too much narrative around Kane (and goals obviously) for him not to wind up with something.

    Fabregas, matić & Terry should all be in there ahead of coutinho. Defenders are so underrated these days, ‘defences win you titles’

    Terry’s probably the best defender in the league, but try getting anyone in the PFA to vote for him…

    No Ozil on the list, he’s been brilliant this year but the British and Irish media refuse to take notice and keep making the same lazy comments. And they wonder why so many top players never come to the premiership despite all the money there.

    It’s voted for by players themselves so they obviously don’t rate him as highly as anyone who made the list.
