The reason they vote in March is because they don't want it to be at the same time as the football writers' player of the year.
Think baines should be on the shortlist ahead of hazard to be honest
It is player of the season, its just called player of the year (as in the football year, not the calendar year).

Voting is done around March/April time, not as early as January.
michu should have been the 6th man
Baines and Michu should have been ahead of Carrick and Hazard.
carrick fully deserves his place in the top 6
Mata has probably been the most consistent across the season but not had a real purple patch like bale, Suarez and RVP have
Bale deserves it. People say he has only played well since the new year, but he had 9 league goals before the new year. He tore United and Liverpool apart earlier in the season.
He's single handedly won us many points and has pretty much kept us in the top 4 race.
OFFICIAL: PFA Team of the Year: De Gea; Zabaleta, Ferdinand, Vertonghen, Baines; Mata, Carrick; Hazard, Bale; Suarez, Van Persie.
de gea carrick van persie
Ferdinand and Vertonghan wow. Can't argue with the others.
ferdinand was always going to be in the team
Rio has been immense this season.
rio's been our best DF this season
Ferdinand is in there because he has been the best CB this season
I'm surprised by Rio, he's looked good but we've changed the back 4 a lot this season.
Vertonghen is because of his goals, the Garth crooks method of picking a defender
difficult to argue with most of the team tbh, they all have good cases to be in the team. there's no-one that sticks out as a no way should he be in the team
Personally I would have had Jagielka ahead of Ferdinand. Ivanovic or Williams ahead of Vertonghen.
I would have had begovic, Williams and michu in instead of de gea, Ferdinand and hazard
Can a Utd fan tell me how many games Rio has played - I honestly thought he had only played about 15 games.
I'm surprised about Vertonghen to be honest
20 odd in the league I think
It helps Rio that there have been no penalties awarded against United, I wonder how many he should have given away. One today definitely.
Verts and Rio have been class but Jagielka deserves to be in there.
Where are all of the world class Arsenal players?
De Gea definitely should have been in, he's been outstanding for most of the season. Some of the saves he has pulled off, Begovic can only dream of.
