In certain years, there’s almost any disagreement  over who should win Premier League Player of the Season.

Consider the incredible season Erling Haaland had with Man City the previous year or the contribution of Virgil van Dijk to Liverpool’s 2018–19 campaign.

Though in recent years it has typically swung that way, this honor is more than just selecting the best player on the championship-winning team. In the past, Kevin Phillips of Sunderland and Gareth Bale of the Spurs shared the championship, while Juninho Paulista of Middlesbrough was proclaimed the 1996–97 winner despite his team’s relegation.

Regardless of your feelings about Vini Souza, Josh Brownhill, Ross Barkley, Morgan Gibbs-White, or whoever the MVP of a Premier League demoted club is, it won’t happen this year. Even though the top offensive performers have large statistics associated with them, voters have an additional factor to consider due to the extended absences of Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah, and Heung-min Son. So let’s see who could win the Premier League after an exciting season with roughly one-third of the game remaining.
