As mentioned earlier, Manchester City hogged the limelight in the nominations for the PFA Player of the Year award. Last year's winner Kevin De Bruyne has again been nominated after a season which saw the Belgian score 6 and assist 12 goals.
Ruben Dias has arguably been the signing of the season in the Premier League. The Portuguese international has transformed Man City's defense completely, which has seen the Premier League winners keep 17 clean sheets.
Ilkay Gundogan is the third representative from Manchester City for the PFA POTY award. Pep Guardiola started playing the 30-year-old further up the field, which resulted in Gundogan scoring key goals for the club. The German international notched up 13 goals and 3 assists this season.
However, Phil Foden has been the surprise nominee for this year's PFA Player of the Year award. The 21-year-old had a breakout season which has seen him become a regular for Pep Guardiola's side. The Englishman scored 9 goals and assisted a further 5. Phil Foden has also been nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
