Man of the Match Season Update 25/46
The leaders in the three categories:
Overall Votes:
- Mawson - 191
- Mehmeti - 168
- Stryjek - 152
- Scowen - 138
- Wing - 135
- Wheeler - 131
Votes per start (minimum 10 starts):
- Mawson - 9.55
- Wheeler - 9.35
- Scowen - 9.20
- Freeman - 8.18
- Stryjek - 7.32
- Mehmeti - 7.00
MOTM Awards:
- Mawson - 5
- Wing - 4
- Stryjek - 3
- Forino - 3
- Mehmeti - 2
- Wheeler - 2
Mawson remains the leader in all three categories even with the time out, and is my favourite currently for Player of the Season. There are some fantastic candidates though, with Wheeler making serious strides recently to make the top 6 in overall votes and be 2nd in votes per start. Wing has had several MOTM performances, second only to Alfie, while Scowen, Stryjek and Mehmeti are consistent in their excellence.
Final thought: Scowen won last season's categories with 417 votes, 11.58 votes per start and 8 MOTM awards. It is going to take some going for anyone to top that! The nearest challenger for votes was Vokes with 249.

If I were to have an outside bet, it would be on Thompson to make inroads into the first XI and rack up a load of MoM awards and potentially see Wing move higher up the pitch IF we were to lose Mehmeti.
Does Scowen only have one MOTM so far?
Yes, just the one. His M.O. (when healthy) this season has been to consistently rack up votes but come 2nd-4th in final tally. Last season he just dominated across the board.
