He is that good.

Tbh if you judged it over the season than the winner is Matty Smith or Josh. But Bateman is World Class and deserved it for my money.

Bateman is the right choice for player of the year.
He was carrying the team before he had his stupid moment

Not surprised Powell got Players Player of the Year.
A real stand out season from Sam P.
Well done to him!

How does players' player differ? Who chooses the main prize? Your team mates endorsement would be worth a lot.
Bateman was a great choice but plenty others stepped up.

The Players Player is voted by teammates so that is the biggest accolade IMO as you are voted to be the best player by your peers

The Player of the Year is decided by the coaching staff

Hope this helps

Genuine question - what did i vote for the other week then? I chose Bateman as my player of the season (or so i thought)
