    Hi guys I didn't see a thread for this yet so said I'd jump in and get it started for this year.

    Mods please delete if a thread already exists.

    So for me this year there have been a few stand out players in the PL for 2014/2015 and I believe the winner will come from the following

    Player of the Year
    Hazard
    Sanchez
    De Gea

    All three have been standout players for their clubs and contributed so much.

    Young Player of the Year
    Kane
    Couthino
    Clyne

    Though group this year and hard to pick three. There has been a lot of others that deserve a mention, Berahino, Ings, Sterling to name a few.

    Somebody mentioned there most disappointing player this year as well so I'll pop that in to.

    Dissapointment of the Year
    Di Maria
    Falcao
    Lovern

    So post away and lets get a decent thread going.

    Kane walks young player of the year. No real standout for player of the year so far. All of the outfield candidates have dipped in form

    This yeah.

    Sanchez perhaps edges it for me so far. Matic a contender for me also but I wouldn't expect him to win. Silva has been great too.

    Think Hazard will probably win the player of year. Don't think there's an outstanding candidate this season to be honest. Chelsea winning the title might sway it his direction. Would probably have said Sanchez before Christmas but he seems to have tailed off a bit recently.

    Kane will win the young player I imagine.

    Hazard will probably win player of the year but dont think he deserves it. Would give it to De Gea myself.

    kane walks home with the young player though.

    Not sure on player of the year, there isn't 1 candidate who is clearly better than the rest but for young player of the year it has to be Kane.

    Even if you consider young player of the year should be given for the player with better breakthrough year then he deserves it.

    I could see Kane winning both to be honest. (Being the next great hope for English football and all that.)

    De Gea my player of the season by a mile. I think Utd would be a few places further down the table if it were not for some of his saves.

    Kane young player of the season. Di Maria the biggest disappointment of the season.

    He has a bit of competition for this "award" though, from Falcao, Shaw and Herrera.
    Blind and Rojo may also make a late push

    What about giving Kane both???
    I think he does stand out this season.

    With Chelsea set to win the league it has to be Hazard for Player of the Year.

    And Kane walks Young Player of the Year both on merit and because he's English.

    Would be surprised if it was anything other than the above two, although could a sentimental shout for Terry who's had a good year be an outside bet? We have seem some strange favourable choices going towards British players in the past

    If Hazard wins POTY and Kane gets YPOTY, then it's a joke - Hazard is eligible for both. Whether he should be or not is another thing, but he is.

    Just to play the devils advocate, could be the case that those who voted for Sanchez, De Gea etc in the main one, voted for Kane instead of Hazard as their choice for the POTY.

    But yeah, I'd say there is a definitely a mindset whereby players vote for this award as a rookie of the year kind of thing rather than a strict matter of who was the best player within that age group. Either way Kane is winning it for sure.

    Kane couldn't even get in the spurs team at the start of the season

    So? His form when he did is unbelivable, only Ronaldo/Messi has more goals than him in 2015. Your point is irrelevant

    EDIT: In Fact, that means he's scored more goals than most in less games, furthering the point he should get young player of the year

    Agree, it could just be specific voting patterns that wins him it, but the end result would be a bit silly, the best player in the league isn't the best young player in the league despite being in the running.

    Nobody said that as far as I can see. One person said that they would have went for Sanchez before Christmas but have changed their mind since. That was all.
