It seems Twitter is inundated with footballer’s posting their picks.
So, Bluemoon, who would you pick in your...
1. PFA Team of the Year
2. PFA Player of the Year
3. PFA Young Player of the Year
PFA Team of the Year
Some controversial picks I’m sure but here’s mine:
GK: Brad Guzan (Despite Villa having a truly diabolical defence who all appear to have just left school, along with Benteke, he’s been their best player by far).
RB: Pablo Zabaleta (Machine this season. Opposite to Rafael in that he’s more defensively solid than offensively dangerous but gets the nod for me. Warrior).
LB: Leighton Baines (No brainer. For a full back, the number of chances he creates his ridiculous. His crossing is insane. If he had lightning pace, he’d be WC).
CB: Ashley Williams (Come on leaps & bounds this season. Tough tackling, puts his body on the line. Will let him off for attempted murder.....).
CB: Matija Nastasic (Great first season and has needed to be with VK out for large parts. Could well be WC in a few years).
CM: Michael Carrick (May not be a popular choice on here but with United’s midfield being decidedly average, behind RVP, he’s been instrumental).
CM: Santi Cazorla (12 goals and 7 assists in 30 games for Arsenal in his opening season. The main reason why Arsenal are still in the hunt for a CL place).
RW: Juan Mata (Chelsea’s best player by some distance. 10 goals and 10 assists in 27 games. Deservedly ahead of David Silva this year for me).
LW: Gareth Bale (No brainer. Not much to be said here).
CF: Luis Suarez (He might be a ****, but he’s a talented ****. Top scorer so far this season. Never seems to get injured. Just a shame he’s a dirty bastard).
CF: Michu (Didn’t expect much from this fella at the beginning of the season. What a bargain at less than £3m. Great season for him).
Special mentions for:
Simon Mignolet & Asmir Begovic – Both had very good seasons, Mignolet despite having a poor defence and Begovic for the first half of the season.
Rafael – United may have conceded a few goals in the first half of the season, but he’s been their best defender for me. Very good going forward too.
RVP – A big reason as to why United are 15pts clear. Form has stagnated a bit recently but his performance in the first 2/3 of the season have been enough
Benteke – Along with Guzan at Villa, he’s the reason why Villa are still in with a shout at survival.
PFA Player of the Year
1. Luis Suarez
2. Gareth Bale (I’m presuming you can vote a young player for both awards?)
3. Juan Mata
PFA Young Player of the Year
1. Gareth Bale – Need I say why?
2. Christian Benteke – Edged above Nastasic on the basis that he’s played the most telling role at his club where it’s harder to do so.
3. Matija Nastasic
Providing people don't go silly and choose City players for every position and vote possible, I will let this go for a week and then post the results on here and see how close we are to the actual awards at the end of the season.
