2017/18 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, £500k Player of the Season, Young Player of the Season and Golden Boot:
Harry Kane (Markian United) - 24 goals

After two seasons as Young Player of the Season and two as £500k Player of the Season Kane finally took the top honour. Well, all the honours! The England skipper scored 26 times, a figure that's only been beaten twice (by one each time) since I started doing this in 2007/8. At least he can't win Young Player next time round!

Golden Gloves:
Ederson (Real Muppets) - 14 cleans, one saved penalty

A great signing for Ryan, £19m Ederson was a big part of the Muppets' title challenge and helped deliver the PCMT to his team. Looks to be a contender for this prize for years to come.

Defender of the season:
Marcos Alonso (Nil Satis) - five goals, 17 cleans

Apart from a run to the Charity Shield Final it wasn't a great season for Nil Satis. Alonso was a shining light in keeping Paul a safe distance from bottom spot.

Midfielder of the season:
Raheem Sterling (Real Muppets) - 14 goals

A big improvement from Ryan's midfielder this season who just edged out Christian Eriksen on more league goals scored. He doesn't look like he's finished improving either.

Signing of the Season:
Mo Salah (Fred West LG XI) - 23 goals

So good I felt the need to create a new award*! OK signing of the season is a bit of a blunt instrument, and just looks at the number of counters without factoring value for money, but all the same - 23 goals for £11m (what were the rest of doing!) is a brilliant return.

* That's not to say I might not go back and look at who might have won if I did this in previous seasons at some point.
