Cahill also up there for me this season, especially as captain. Moses too, he's been very important. Don't think I can call it. Let's see what happens from now until the end of the season.

Eh? Hump? Other? It's clear the praise from your fellow Chelsea fan was with that much touted transfer in mind. Why else would someone say one of the best players in the league had been "overlooked".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You are referring to Broquin post ? Didn't see it until now . I partially agree with him though. I think Sanchez is not in the same level as Hazard . It's a matter of opinion though.

Ooook.
Think the unsung heroes - Azpilicueta has been immense, his only weakness the long diagonal ball in behind. Moses and Alonso, keys to the system and play their roles to perfection. Kante and Luis have been great but, from a team perspective, these three players have been key!

Overall I think Hazard is a superior all round player to Sanchez, but I still do feel Sanchez is the more deserving of the award for this season.
I wouldn't necessarily say Sanchez is underrated, but he is being overlooked when it comes to discussions on the player of the year. Most pundits and football writers have been naming either Kante or Hazard as their player of the year, or on occasions Ibrahimovic.
I recently saw an article by BBC Sport about their pundits pick for player of the year. None of the pundits nominated Sanchez, which is even more stranger when you see some of them nominate Lukaku and Ibrahimovic. Obviously BBC pundits are pretty dire, but I've seen virtually no other writers or pundits elsewhere pick Sanchez as the player of the year.
Alexis has had a better season than Hazard but neither of those guys should be player of the season. Should be Kante or Kane depending on who wins the title.
According to WhoScored? The best 3 players in the PL this season have been:
1. Hazard
2. Sanchez
3. Pogba

Don't fully understand how they come up with the ratings, but he's right up there for chances created. I saw something recently that detailed clear cut chances created that should've been scored and shots that had hit the woodwork, which put him into the mid teens for both stats this season.
Don't like to deal with "what ifs," but his season could've looked very different with a few slices of luck. He's been at the heart of most of our creativity
Perhaps, he has played well against little sides, which is probably where these stats come in, but he does tend to disappear/play poorly against big teams with good pressing systems. Don't give him time and he becomes a bit rash. Give him time and he can play.
It always amazes me when POTY awards are handed out before the end of the season. I realize this is just a discussion, but there are 8 league games still to play, and at least one more FA Cup match. That's 20% of the season still to play - I don't know how we can make decisions yet.
Until last week I would have said most fans were talking about Kante as the clear leader - but having had 2 average displays (by his standards), and Hazard had 2 great performances all of a sudden Hazard is the leading the race. Who knows how much will change over the next 9-10 games.
Players still in with a chance of winning the Chelsea POTY award include (in no particular order):
Courtois
Azpi
Luiz
Moses
Alonso
Kante
Pedro
Hazard
To me, Alonso is the real surprise of the season. After the first few games I would never have thought I would include him on a list like this. But he is absolutely the most improved player in the team (just ahead of Pedro). It really has been a great team effort to date though. Let's just see what happens over the next few weeks.
Costa should be on that list.
