2016/17 Awards - Players of the Season

(Awards are made on basis of contributions in all WSFFL competitions. Where there is a tie, contributions in league matches take precedence.)

Player of the season, Attacker of the season, Young Player of the season and Golden Boot:
Romelu Lukaku (San Dimas) - 24 goals

Lukaku topped the charts this year ahead of the likes of Harry Kane, Alexis Sanchez and Sergio Aguero, rarefied company indeed. Can he sustain this sort of form? (The co-ordinator hopes so.) Will he fancy moving on and challenging for bigger prizes (The co-ordinator hopes not.)

Golden Gloves:
Thibaut Courtois (Fred West LG XI) - 13 cleans

Fred's title was built on a solid defence and he had the luxury of choosing from two great goalkeepers. Hugo Lloris won this award in 2013/14 but had to play second fiddle to his team mate this time.

Defender of the season:
Gary Cahill (Trusted By Millions) - four goals, 16 cleans

Trusted's title challenge faded over the last couple of months but that was mainly down to a lack of goals. Cahill's 20 counter return is the best by a defender for five seasons. He's a former winner of 500k player of the season too.

Midfielder of the season:
2016/17 - Eden Hazard (Fred West LG XI) - 18 goals

If Fred's win was built on the defence it was mostly decorated by the midfield. Hazard won this for the second time in three years and with six more goals than last time. Hazard just edged out team mate Dele Alli by virtue of more goals scored in the league.

£500k Player of the season:
2016/17 - Harry Kane (FCK2) - 22 goals

A second successive win for Kane in this category. And when you think he was injured for more than two months it's probably the least he could have won. Clean sweep next year?
