For Player of The Year.
There shouldn't even be a debate !! He has been the best player by a distance and here is why !!
Hazard has been consistent in his performance at a tremendous level throughout 2014/15.
He started each of the Chelsea league game this season, making him the only ever present attacker, he is never injured,suspended and rested. Last time he was withdrawn before the 90th minute was last October! This is extraordinary considering Hazard is the most fouled player in the league.
Here is another measure of Hazard's consistency: he's scored 12 league goals this season, and they've come in 12 different games. for example, Aguero scored 17 goals but this was in 11 separate games ,this is streaky, whereas Hazard is more regular with his goal scoring and keeps ticking along steadily.
The third and the final measure of Hazard's consistency.
In his four seasons in French league, twice he won the Young Player of the Year award, and twice Ligue 1 Player of the Year and In the final three seasons, he was in Ligue 1's team of the year.
Since moving to epl, last year he won the Young Player of the Year award and was nominated for the "Player of the Year" award in both seasons, as well as making it in the PFA Team of the Year.
Sanchez was excellent at the start but not very consistent towards the end of the season, as has Aguero since recovering from his latest injury.
Harry Kane's on the other hand should be content with the Young Player of the Year award, thus leaving Hazard for the top award !!
More importantly his best is yet to come

Alexis has done way better than Hazard, 20 goals and 10 assists in his first season so far.
================
Thats in all competations. In the league hes got 14 goals and 8 assists.

Zola in 97 and Lampard won the writers award and as been mentioned Terry won player of the year in 2005. Lets not forget Henry and Ronaldo were playing in the 2000's. As an aside Ginola won an award one year when Man Utd's votes were split amongst a few players.

Hazard will win Player of the Year
Kane will win Young Player of the Year
But does it really matter. Is this what football is all about these days, who wins awards. Very strange.

I couldn’t really give too much of a hoot but it is nice when players get recognised for their efforts to a degree, but you’re right their contribution is part of a team and trophies (along with silly money) are the real reward.
It actually grates on me to see how much it means to Ronaldo to win WPOTY, he needs it to stroke his ego but then this is a man who was upset that Bale scored for his team when he thought it was his divine right to be credited with the goal, it meant more to him he didn’t score than his team scoring.
Still I will be delighted when Hazard and Kane get their respective awards since I put money on a double months ago.

5 or 6 of Hazard goals have been penalties.Aguero should be player of the year and second best player after him is Sanchez.Hazard is the third best player this season in my opinion and the best player of Chelsea for sure.

That's funny, we've only been awarded 3 penalties this year. Where as Arsenal and City lead the table for most penalties awarded. Think what you meant to say was "Hazard SHOULD have scored 5-6 penalties this year".

I think Hazard deserves it. It's one thing to look good in a team full off average players, and another to look good in a team full of stars. Aguero is a close second. The fact that Chelsea will win the league may swing it, but then again if the votes were done in January then Sanchez, Aguero, Matic, Fabregas, Costa, De Gea all have a shout.

I think Hazard deserves it, hes been the difference and without him Chelsea wouldnt be a shoe in for the title and for that reason alone he deserves it

Luckily we really haven't had to experience it. I do think if Hazard or Matic were missing for a decent amount of games in a row this season, we wouldn't be so far ahead.

Hazard will deservedly win it and Alexis will deservedly finish 2nd. After that, who knows?
