This is going to be tough, in part because there are so many deserving candidates (as evidenced in the preceding discussion), and in part because it's hard for me to be totally objective. For example, I'll always be biased toward PTJ because she's from my side of the pond, and I'll always be biased toward Ella Toone because, well, because she's friggin' Ella Toone.
I'm going to wait until the last opportunity to vote, though at this point I can say that I'm leaning toward MLT. She has rapidly developed into such a great center back -- both as a defender and as an orchestrator of the offense -- and she's the team captain. I don't know a lot about what team captains actually do off the pitch, but whatever she's been doing has got be a big reason for the team's success. Plus, giving the award to the team captain would be the closest one could get to giving it to the entire team.
