Jordan Henderson has won the Football Writers Association Player of the Year: https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12035104/jordan-henderson-liverpool-captain-named-fwa-footballer-of-the-year

I rate Hendo as a player, he has had a very good season, but was he better than De Bruyne or Van Dijk?

It will be interesting to see who gets PFA POTY...in my opinion De Bruyne deserves to get something this year after having a great season, but if they give it to a Liverpool player it should be Van Dijk again. Just because he won it last year he's been left out of the discussion while being equally as good as last year.

It should 100% be Kevin. He’s the best midfielder in the world, as this being an individual award, it should go to him.

Henderson is probably the most important player for Liverpool (their midfield just doesnt work as well without him) other than VVD but he probably isnt POTY level. I’d go with KDB too, he is absolutely phenomenal

I wouldn't have Henderson in the top 10, he's a solid role player, but doesn't have the ability to change matches. A decent amount of above average players can and have performed his duties equally well. The FWA is a joke anyway, no one takes pays it any attention, it's a narrative driven award.

PFA is the only thing that holds any weight, even then people don't give it much credence.

De Bruyne is still the bookies favourite to get PFA POTY which is the most respected individual award in the prem.

Just like in 2011 when Parker led West Ham to mighty highs of 20th.

KDB equalled Henry's assists record today and bagged a few goals. Should be nailed on for PFA POTY

KDB should have gotten it. That being said the FWA has always been debateable.
