Who will be the player of the year at "Manchester City"? Haaland, Gvardiol, or the departing De Bruyne?
One of England's leading clubs, Manchester City, has begun the process of determining the team's best player for the 2024–2025 season. Traditionally, the winner is decided by fan votes.
This year's selection features three nominees: Josko Gvardiol, Erling Haaland, and Kevin De Bruyne. Analyzing each player's statistics and their role during the season is crucial, as each played a distinct role in the team's success.
Josko Gvardiol — Stability and Confidence in Defense
Croatian defender Josko Gvardiol became a key pillar for City throughout the season. He participated in a total of 50 matches and spent 4243 minutes on the field. He scored 6 goals and provided 2 assists. His consistent and reliable performance in every minute of his play provided significant support to the team.
His versatility and contribution to attacking plays transformed him into not just a defender but a true "utility player."
Erling Haaland — The Goal Machine is at Work Again
Norwegian forward Erling Haaland participated in 41 matches during the season. In these matches, he scored a total of 30 goals and assisted 4 times. With his sharp movements in attack and constant threat to the opponent's goal, he once again established himself as City's leading scorer.
Haaland could have scored even more goals, but some injuries kept him off the field for a certain period. Nevertheless, he remains at the top of the scoring charts.
Kevin De Bruyne — Late "Awakening," Perhaps His Last Season
Belgian maestro Kevin De Bruyne played 2227 minutes in 37 competitions this season. His tally stands at 6 goals and 8 assists. However, his activity during the season mostly aligns with the second half, as KDB missed many games due to injury.
His performances in recent weeks have been at a high level. Some speculate that this could be his last "show" before leaving the team. Perhaps for this reason, Kevin continues to hold a special place in the hearts of fans.
Fans Will Have the Final Say
Currently, the City team is collecting votes from fans through its official website and social media. The best player of the season is expected to be announced soon.
