I think for the 1st half of this season the vast majority of us would have had Scales as favourite for our player of the year. But i think as the season has went on its got to be Nygren now. I don't think anyone has come close to contributing what he has this season.
I think it has taken most of us (me included) a while to take to him but there is definetly a good player in there.
For the 1st half of the season he was being played either out wide or deeper beside mcgregor.
But its been clear to see he is by far at his most effective just behind a CF. Play him to his strengths and he will be a top player.
Reminds me of Tom Rogic only perhaps more consistent.
I would be trying to build a team around Nygren and Engels. Put better players beside these two and they will only get better too.
Nygren ahead of Scales and Araujo for POTY for me.

It was telling that MON singled out Nygren in his farewell speech in December, telling him he's got what it takes to be a top player.

Nygren doesn’t have any challengers which says loads about this season.

Scales?

That shows how bad a season we have had when Scales is mentioned for POTY. in my opinion our team started to go downhill when we started playing and signing players like Scales. He should be a squad player at thr most.
{Ed007's Note - And yet we wasted millions on players that manager after manager didn't deem good enough and Scales is still a first choice - and I'd have Scales all day every day against any team in the world rather than CCV.}
