Heavy responsibility rests on the shoulders of a midfielder, and the below have proven themselves time and again this season.

You’ll get the chance to vote for the wide men that impressed you the most this season. Always on call with a bag of tricks, these guys have the flair and showmanship to create chances out of nothing and do it in style. If they’re not bringing their teammates into the game, they they’re cutting in and scoring themselves and are the type of player that can single handedly draws crowds to a game. So it’s time to reward them for the reward they’ve provided on the pitch.

This time round, we have the bustling hard-nuts that often put their team and the result ahead of their own physical well being. Of course, we’re talking about the centre-half, the lads who take to the field shouldered with the job of helping keep the ball out of the net.
