Friday brings the announcement of the Football Writers' Association Player of the Year for 2024, a prestigious honor in English soccer and the oldest individual award given out in the sport, dating back to 1948. Last year's winner was Phil Foden of Manchester City, with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah winning it in 2022 and 2018.
This year has seen a number of stars rise to the occasion up and down the Premier League table, even as Liverpool raced to the title under new manager Arne Slot. So, ahead of the announcement, ESPN's writers make their own selections.
