GARETH BALE (Tottenham)
Strengths: A burgeoning, mercurial talent whose performance against Inter Milan, at San Siro where he scored a hat-trick, and at home when he the world’s best right-back, Maicon, a quivering wreck.
Weaknesses: A back complaint is threatening to upset his season while he has been found out occasionally when forced inside.
ODDS (William Hill): 3-1

CARLOS TEVEZ (Manchester City)
Strengths: Tenacity, speed and ability to score goals, shown more than season than at any stage of his career. Celebrated his 27th birthday with a hat-trick – as you do.
Weaknesses: Can be perceived as petulant as shown in December when he put in a written transfer request.
ODDS: 5-1

SAMIR NASRI (Arsenal)
Another year in the Premier League has helped mature this mercurial Frenchman whose displays have won games for Arsenal.
Strengths: Ability to operate in several positions. Has honed his rawness with goals.
Weaknesses: Sometimes lacks the killer pass to unlock defences.
ODDS: 5-1

RAFAEL VAN DER VAART (Tottenham)
Strengths: The Dutchman has everything; the ability to score goals and make them and has been a revelation since his arrival in the Premier League.
Weaknesses: Has a tendency to get injured. His hamstring is a worry for Spurs.
ODDS: 6-1

DIMITAR BERBATOV (Manchester United)
Overlooked last season as Rooney earned rave reviews. But this season the Bulgarian, who has won his country’s award a record six times, has flourished with 20 goals in 28 appearances including a remarkable five against Blackburn.
Strengths: Goals. His perceptibility and eye for goal have kept United in poll position to win the Premier League.
Weaknesses: Has the ability to appear lazy, which has let him down in the past.
ODDS: 6-1

CESC FABREGAS (Arsenal)
Strengths: Maturing with each season; regarded as the perfect midfielder but still with an ability to score goals.
Weaknesses: Occasional petulance and injuries still dog the Spaniard.
ODDS: 12-1
NANI (Manchester United)
Strengths: The Portuguese has added great goals to his game and appears more mobile.
Weaknesses: Has a tendency to drift in and out of games and sometimes fails to have the influence he needs.
ODDS: 14-1

PAUL SCHOLES (Manchester United)
Strengths: Gets better with age. Has never won the awards and a career that is coming to the end deserves to be rewarded.
Weaknesses: Probably doesn’t play enough games and does attract a lot of yellow cards.
ODDS: 16-1

NEMANJA VIDIC (Manchester United)
Strengths: One of the most solid central defenders in the Premier League, very often the man who rescues United. And he can score goals as well.
Weaknesses: Not many this season, but tends to play better with Rio Ferdinand than the likes of Chris Smalling or John O’Shea.
ODDS: 16-1

CHARLIE ADAM (Blackpool)
Strengths: Has developed into the all-round midfielder. Smart, quick and intelligent; attributes that attracted Liverpool and Spurs in the January window.
Weaknesses: Needs more consistency and to improve his pace.
ODDS: 20-1

DIDIER DROGBA (Chelsea)
Strengths: Power and ability to score great goals. At times has rediscovered his form of last season.
Weaknesses: Can be inconsistent and give the impression he’s not that bothered. The arrival of Fernando Torres could make – or break – the striker.
ODDS: 20-1

ANDY CARROLL (Liverpool)
Strengths: Possible the best English-born header of the ball. After an impressive season in returning Newcastle to the Premier League, he has continued to score and earned a £35m move to Liverpool.
Weaknesses: Off the field, Carroll has attracted unwanted coverage and has an unwanted disciplinary past.
ODDS: 20-1
