Phil Foden got the big award at the end of the last season when he was crowned Premier League Player of the Year. It was his right: he's been tipped for greatness ever since Pep Guardiola teased him to the masses with sub appearances at Manchester City.
But really, Cole Palmer's England Player of the Year award should have been his by right, too. Gareth Southgate built his England team around Foden all summer – often to its detriment – only for Foden to hugely underwhelm in comparison to his blockbuster season at City.
