#PFAPlayerOfTheYearNominees My PFA players of the year by @Acidbej


With just seven matches and maximum 21 points obtainable, the 2015/2016 BPL season crown is Leicester City’s for the taking, *stills sounds odd every time I typed it*. Would love to take a look at 5 equally deserving players that I think rightly deserves the laurel.  The Professional Footballers' Association Players' Player of the Year (often called the PFA Players' Player of the Year, the Players' Player of the Year, or simply the Player of the Year) is an annual award given to the player who is adjudged to have been the best of the year in English football.

Here is a list of players that I think rightly deserves 12 months on the EPL’s throne. (Player, Age, Nationality)

Dimitri Payet, 28, France: Arguably one of the transfers of the season that saw the skillful French man move to the hammers from Marseille. He caught the attention of fans in his opening fixture display in a 2-0 victory over Arsenal at the Emirate Stadium. This midfield maestro makes up for this lack of physical presence with is slick left foot, set pieces and lethal right foot. His 8 goals and 8 assists been helpful in the hammers pursuit of a shoot of Europe football next season.



Jamie Vardy, 29, England: For a striker that was plying his trade in the conference premier league three seasons ago, now in contention for one of the most prestigious awards in the best league in the world happens to be one of the few Leicester City stories. A striker that is always at the right place at the right time, can score goals that get us on our feet and at his prime. Vardy’s 19 goals and 6 assists has been one of the integral factors responsible for Leicester’s title charge. Mignolet knows this man better. ;)

Harry Kane, 22, England: Last year’s PFA young player of the year is really giving Gary Lineker a chance to see how the world saw him when he rocked the spurs jersey, and home grown striker that flourished when all transfer made by the club failed. The young and goal hungry English striker is a big pain in the ass of arsenal faithful as they wished they had kept the league highest goal scorer with 21goals and  45 league goals to his belt at this early stage of his career.

N’golo  Kante, 24, France: Mentioned as the most influencial player in Leicester City FC by the Sir Alex Ferguson. Leads the EPL tacklers with 144 tackles and 44 clearance but the most alarming stat about this deep lying midfielder is how he manages this incredible fate with just three yellow cards and has only missed a league match all year. Earned his first French National team call up along west ham’s Payet. It has been a year to remember for the former Caen midfielder .

Riyad Mahraz , 25, Algeria: 16 goals and 11 assists, the perfect attacking midfielder scouts of the big pocket clubs wished they have seen and bought. His electric pace on the wing has been major headache for most premier league defenders this season. His perfect bromance with Vardy on and off the pitch happens to be all Leicester needs up front. They are both firing on both cylinders and the duo been responsible for 94% of their team’s goals. The skillful Algerian is my favorite for this award.

Honorable Mentions: Mesut Ozil, mousa dembele, odion ighalo, Romelu Lukaku
