Premier League 2025/26: Fans' Player of the Season picks reveal some eyebrow-raising verdicts

Now that the dust has settled on another Premier League campaign, supporters have weighed in on who deserves recognition for their personal contributions over the course of the season. The results throw up a fascinating mix of consensus and controversy.

Arsenal Still awaiting their official announcement. Declan Rice claimed more than half the vote last term—will he repeat the trick?

Aston Villa Morgan Rogers' Europa League Player of the Season gong makes him a logical favourite, though voting doesn't close until June 5.

Bournemouth Alex Scott claimed the fans' award, though the playing squad plumped for Spurs-bound Marcos Senesi instead.

Brentford Igor Thiago cleaned up, finishing runner-up only to Erling Haaland in the Golden Boot race before sweeping both the fans' and players' honours.

Brighton Ferdi Kadioglu took the supporters' vote, but Danny Welbeck won the affection of his teammates.

Burnley Zian Flemming's 11-goal haul during a grim season earned him the backing of the fanbase, though Jaidon Anthony took the players' award.

Chelsea Joao Pedro romped home with over 60 per cent of the vote—hardly surprising given the limited options on offer.

Crystal Palace Ismaila Sarr's 21 goals across all competitions delivered him both the fans' and players' accolade, plus the Conference League Player of the Season honour for good measure.

Everton James Garner claimed the double: "I feel like I've come into my own this season, so I'm really happy to be recognised by the players and fans."

Fulham Voting remains open until noon on June 3.

Leeds United Ethan Ampadu's captaincy and performances earned him both awards, making him a two-time winner alongside Gordon McQueen, Lee Bowyer and Jermaine Beckford.

Liverpool The vote is still ongoing. Surely only one man could possibly win it?

Manchester City Nico O'Reilly became City's youngest-ever Player of the Season winner, fending off stern competition from Abdukodir Khusanov and Jeremy Doku.

Manchester United Bruno Fernandes—as if there was ever any doubt. A record-breaking campaign for the captain, who's now claimed five awards in seven seasons. Worth noting: United were prepared to sell him this time twelve months ago.

Newcastle United Bruno Guimaraes takes the honour after outscoring his teammates in the league while also leading the assists standings.

Nottingham Forest Despite Morgan Gibbs-White earning Premier League Player of the Season recognition, Neco Williams scooped nearly half the Forest vote (48 per cent).

Sunderland Granit Xhaka emerged as the standout choice among several worthy contenders. The signing of the summer, no question.

Tottenham Hotspur Archie Gray's willingness and work ethic clearly resonated with supporters, who handed him all three fans' awards available at the club.

West Ham Dinos Mavropanos claimed the Hammer of the Year honour, seeing off Mateus Fernandes and Jarrod Bowen.

Wolves Santiago Bueno's 34 per cent share of the vote put the Uruguayan defender ahead of Joao Gomes, who won the players' choice.
