Mohamed Salah Player of the Year Odds
Liverpool’s striker has been absolutely brilliant this season. After 20 games played, he has as many as 16 goals to his name in the Premier League. Unfortunately, his Champions League performance won’t play a major role here, but we need to note that he played six games and found the net seven times – more than once per game.
Mohamed Salah is no stranger to winning the Player of the Year award, and we believe that if he keeps up his stellar form, he is the main contender to take the award. That’s why it’s not surprising to see that Mohamed Salah Player of the Year odds are just 1.67 at present.
Can he retain his tremendous level of consistency for four more months and secure the trophy? We are highly optimistic.
Kevin De Bruyne Player of the Year Odds
Manchester City currently have four players in the top six contenders for the Player of the Year award. One of them is Kevin de Bruyne, of course, who has managed to snatch the award twice in a row, in 2020 and 2021.
Right now, the Kevin de Bruyne Player of the Year odds are at 11.00, so the bookmakers believe that he is the second-strongest candidate for the title, after unstoppable Salah. That’s understandable as the Belgian striker has multiple injury issues over the summer, and was out for four games in November, as well. However, his two goals in Man City’s thrashing of Leeds in December marked a stellar return to prime for this player.
Bernardo Silva Player of the Year Odds
Many consider Bernardo Silva to be one of the three best Guardiola’s signings. And rightfully so. The Portuguese midfielder has played as many as six positions during the last year alone. His ability to adapt is absolutely brilliant, so at times he can excel in the middle and when needed he can find the net with ease.
He has scored seven times this season and has had as many as 13 shots on the target. With 89% of completed passes (1134), he’s one of the most reliable players in the City midfield. So, no surprise to see that Bernardo Silva Player of the Year odds are 13.80.
Phil Foden Player of the Year Odds
Another Man City player in the run for the Player of the Year award is a 21-year-old central midfielder, Phil Foden. His teammate and yet another contender for the award, Joao Cancelo, believes that Foden will become one of the best players in the world, if not the best, in the years to come.
He seems to be in superior form this season and five goals in 15 EPL games so far testify to this fact. After all, his main job is to ensure seamless ball transitions from defence to offence. Phil Foden Player of the Year odds are 23.00 at the bookmakers.
Joao Cancelo Player of the Year Odds
The Portuguese defender is considered to be one of the best full-backs of his generation. So, given his form this season, it’s no surprise that he is currently one of the top five contenders for the Player of the Year award.
So far in his 22 Premier League matches, he has netted once and made five assists, which is more than a welcome contribution from a defender. His stats are even more impressive in the Champions League, where he managed to score twice and assist three times in only five games.
Defending players are rarely favourites in such competitions, so Joao Cancelo Player of the Year odds of 34.00 place him 5th in the race.
Cristiano Ronaldo Player of the Year Odds
Most people probably can’t remember the last time Cristiano Ronaldo was not among the top five contenders for any award. The amazing Portuguese, probably one of the finest players to ever play the game, sits in sixth place in our list. The Cristiano Ronaldo Player of the Year Odds stand at 34.00.
Cristiano is having what seems to be an underachieving season for him. So far, he’s scored only eight goals and made three assists in 18 games. But to put things in perspective, CR7 is days away from turning 37 and still has enough strength in his legs to outpace most of the EPL defenders. He’s the true leader of the Red Devils, but his entire team is, unfortunately, struggling with both offence and defence, having scored 36 and conceded 30 goals in 22 matches (as opposed to City’s 55-14 in 23).
The season is far from over, and if the overall team chemistry improves, so will Ronaldo’s Premier League Player of the Year odds. Sure, he probably won’t cross the finish line first, especially with the way Salah and De Bruyne have been playing this season, but he just might make a stir in the top three.
