#2 Raheem Sterling (Manchester City/England)
When Raheem Sterling was ripping defences to shreds and banging in the goals like there's no tomorrow during City's 100-pointer season of 2017/18, we thought we were seeing his best - only for the 24-year old to elevate his game higher in the following season.

With a staggering return of 25 goals and 18 assists across 51 games, he cantered to the PFA Young Player of the Year honours too.
His blazing form even transcended the vagaries of international football, with him playing a starring role for the Three Lions in international games - Sterling was twice on target to down Spain in the epic Nations League encounter before netting four times in the first two games of the Euro qualifiers, including an amazing hat-trick against the Czech Republic.
How such a magnificent season doesn't earn you a berth even in the top 10 nominations is anyone's guess, especially when you consider Harry Kane made the cut despite missing a large chunk of last season through injury.
