It's that time of year again - the 4th annual edition of the highly prestigious and highly coveted SNC POTY award.
It was business as usual for most of the major European leagues as Bayern Munich, Barcelona, PSG and Juventus defended their league titles successfully. It was the Premier League that threw up the biggest surprise, arguably of modern football, as pre-season relegation candidates Leicester City defied odds and won their maiden title.
Other notable events included the European Championships where Portugal defeated host nations France in the final. England put up another disappointing major international tournament showing, leaving it up to fellow home nation, Wales, to provide minnow interest as they, along with Iceland, made deep runs into the tournament.
The rules, as always, nominate, in order, 10 players who you would like to be considered for player of the year. These points will be awarded on a 25/18/15/12/10/8/6/4/2/1 basis.
Voting will be open until January 1st 2017.
