    Who's going to win it ?

    For me, It's Eden Hazard, I didn't like what he did against us but he's a world-class player who's turned up for Chelsea this season, I know people will mention N'golo Kante but I feel his influence is overrated in my opinion.

    That's because pretty much everyone is goal-centric when choosing a POTY, never really looking beyond goals or assists. It should be who has the most effect on a game and, for me, Kante is the most effective player in the EPL. If he had an emoji like that 89m poseur he put in his pocket, it would be a blue wall.

    Yeah, how dare you talk about Pogba when it comes to talking about Player of the Year... His name shouldn't be anywhere near such a topic!

    It'll be between Hazard and Kante. I imagine Hazard will get it as they tend to go for the more exciting player, but think Kante is a little more deserving, making the Chelsea defence look good!

    Alli for young player?

    Kante is the most effective player for Chelsea maybe..every team has got one of them.

    i think Ibrahimovic's goals would be harder to replace than Kante's driving influence.

    In terms of impact, he has to be up there in my opinion.

    Kante - no contest. He was my personal POTY for us last season despite Vardy and Mahrez getting the official awards ... he is far more key to a team winning a title than any individual goalscorer IMHO .. we lost Vardy towards the end of last season but it didn't stop our momentum ... because Kante stops the oppositio having the ball for long ...<ok>

    And not just that, his distribution is up there with the best, he has an eye for the devastating pass that'll take most of opposing team out of the equation, he's probably the best 'assist assister'. in the EPL.

    Kante will win it. It can be debated all day long but Kante wins hands down. He's had 2 great seasons and getting a lot of media attention as well.

    No I didn't mean diving. If you kick someone, is that not a foul? This isn't Leeds in the 70's Matth!

    Everyone saw that united targeted Hazard, that's the type of team you are now.
    But it was Kante who scored.

    Still spewing this bollocks about Hazard diving on the sending off.
    I am not saying Hazard hasn't dived before, in other matches.
    But on that particular occasion, he was fouled. It wasn't a sending off offence, no, but by the laws of the game it was a foul, he went for the tackle, missed the ball and hit the player. Thats a foul...........

    Kante no question. As Fosse says, many of us had him above Mahrez and Vardy as far as Leicester went last year but attacking players get all the recognition.
    I've seen lots calling him over rated but he is absolutely not

    Kante for me (again as I thought he should have won it last year) - Hazard second
