Its all about the timing of when the voting is (im sure its around this time of year)
Good example of it being a strange time to vote is Coutinho last year, he had a great feb & march but nothing else but got on the shortlist thanks to that.
I think Kante will get on the shortlist if the votes are happening now, wheras 2 months ago he wouldnt of. Likewise Alli. (I think both have been really good all season btw im just pointing out that it usually revolves around hype from media). Also if voting is happening now Stones will not be on the shortlist for young player, wheras a month or so ago he would of been a shoe in.
Eriksson is geared up to have a strong finish to the season and people will be throwing his name around at the end of the season, these will be the sae people who have said he has been quiet this season (he hasent by the way, spurs turned those draws into wins the second he came back from injury)
Anyway my shortlist would be
Player
Vardy, Mahrez, Kante, Payet, Alderweirald, Ozil
Young Player
Alli, Barkley, Dier, Kane, Lukaku, Kone
