Carvalho moved to Anfield this summer after a breakout season in the Championship with 10 goals and 8 assists in 36 games, and Elliott made a strong start to the season — playing in the first six games — but a serious injury against Leeds interrupted his campaign.

Elanga represented a positive for Manchester United in an otherwise a disappointing season, playing 21 games and contributing to four goals, and Diallo spent the second half of the season on loan at Rangers. The other notable Premier League nominees include Leeds striker Joe Gelhardt (20) and Wolves pair Fabio Silva (19) and Ki-Jana Hoever (20).
