Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)
It has been a quite remarkable year for Virgil van Dijk. He lead Liverpool to their sixth Champions League title with victory over Tottenham in Madrid, was part of the side who won the World Club Championship, and was named UEFA Player of the Year earlier this year. He finished the year in the same form he started it, putting in a fine display against Wolves, it what could have been a potentially tricky fixture. It looks likely that they’ll romp to the Premier League title this season, and van Dijk has played a huge part in that.
Dan Burn (Brighton)
Everyone has been taken by surprise a little bit by the strong first half to the season Brighton have had. Graham Potter has done a fine job in charge of the club, and they look like they could stay well clear of the Premier League relegation battle this season. One man who has been in fine form recently is Dan Burn, who has cemented his spot in the backline. He was once again excellent in the victory over Bournemouth, and was unfortunate to be denied a goal by VAR.
