Coutinho
A season-fit and consistent Coutinho is capable of steering and stirring Liverpool to glory this season, and if that happens, he can’t be overlooked for the prize.
Famous for scoring goal-of-the-season contenders, the Liverpool best player of the year for the past 2 seasons can take it a notch higher by challenging for the top prize on a national level.
His stunner of a free kick against Arsenal in the league opener reeked of quality, and if that goes on for a full season, both Liverpool and the Brazilian are destined for the top.
