Rice, Fernandes and Haaland Headline PFA Player’s Player of the Year Finalists

Rice, Fernandes and Haaland Headline PFA Player’s Player of the Year Finalists

The shortlist for the men’s PFA Player’s Player of the Year award is out. Arsenal’s Declan Rice, Gabriel Magalhaes and David Raya make up a strong trio from the title-winning side. Their main rivals include Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, who shattered the Premier League assist record with 21 setups en route to the club’s Champions League return. Joining him are Manchester City’s prolific Erling Haaland and rising star Rayan Cherki. Each nominee has enjoyed a standout campaign. Fernandes’ playmaking drew widespread praise, while Rice excelled in an advanced role with 11 goal contributions. Haaland’s goal tally and Cherki’s breakthrough season round out a compelling contest.

It's curious to see Gabriel Magalhaes in the running, given most attention usually goes to goal scorers and midfield creators.

I'm not convinced Gabriel should outrank top forwards here; defenders rarely drive matches as much as attackers do.

For future votes, panels might develop separate metrics for each position to make these award comparisons more balanced.
