The award nominations feature a diverse range of standout performers. Cole Palmer’s remarkable tally of 21 goals earns him a well-deserved spot, though he faces stiff competition from other top contenders.
Last season’s winner, Erling Haaland, maintains his goal-scoring excellence with 25 strikes, accompanied by his Manchester City teammate Phil Foden, who has emerged as a pivotal figure for the club.
Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice are acknowledged for their influential roles in Arsenal’s title aspirations.
Virgil van Dijk represents Liverpool as the lone defender on the list, highlighting his defensive prowess. Completing the nominations are Alexander Isak of Newcastle and Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa, recognized for their impressive goal-scoring contributions.

Fans have come out to express dissatisfaction as they believe Virgil Van Dijk had no business being on the list, with many suggesting Manchester City midfielder Rodri deserved to be included for his outstanding performance this season.
”What is Van Dijk doing here?” a fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Another dissatisfied fan said, ”One clean sheet in 2024 and this fraud makes it to the list? EPL will not stop to amaze me.”
”Take VVD out and replace him with Rodri,” a third fan said.
Another fan commented, ”Rodri was robbed not to be on this list.”
