This morning, the 23-24 Premier League announced the season's major awards. Among them, Manchester City winger Phil Foden won the best player in the Premier League, while Chelsea's Palmer won the best young player in the Premier League.

This result is not surprising. Although Haaland still occupies the top scorer in the Premier League, before the award is announced, in the analysis of major media, it is believed that if Manchester City wins the title, Foden will win the Most Valuable Player, and there are two specific reasons.

First, in terms of commercial value, Foden's status as an English player is a natural bonus. Among the current English players, Bellingham is the most commercially valuable, but he will probably spend the rest of his life at Real Madrid when he leaves Spain.

England national team, captain is Kane. However, on the one hand, Kane is far away in Germany, and on the other hand, he is over 30 years old, and his personality is relatively wooden and lacks commercial value.

Neither of these men is as good as Foden, who is only 23 years old, has a gorgeous style of play and a relatively high-profile personality, and is worth investing in. In the current England national team, Foden can really be said to have age and age, ball skills, platform and platform, and skin color.

Second, the Premier League needs to start a new star-making project.

In the past few years, the top stars of the Premier League have been Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk. These three people basically represent the Premier League to compete for the Ballon d'Or.

But after this summer, Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah could both leave the Premier League and leave their home countries. Virgil van Dijk is also dying of age, making more mistakes, and it will be difficult for them to compete for the Ballon d'Or in the Premier League in the future.

As for Arsenal, which has risen in the past two years, whether it is Saka, Odegaard, Havertz, or Rice, either there is a lack of data in the image, or there is an unfortunate image and temperament, of course, the biggest flaw is that Arsenal has a bad record in Europe, and you can't expect a team that has never won the Champions League trophy to compete for the Ballon d'Or.

Therefore, those who can compete for global influence on behalf of the Premier League may still fall to Manchester City's Haaland, Rodri, and Foden. Foden is the only Englishman and is certainly the best candidate.

However, with Foden being elected as the best player in the Premier League, one has to infer that Foden was elected as the best player, which may mean that the FA will guarantee Manchester City to win the league crown.

In the last 5 seasons, the best players in the Premier League are 22-23 Haaland, 21-22 De Bruyne, 20-21 Ruben. Dias, 19-20 Van Dijk. All four of them were Premier League champions that year.

The only team that wasn't the champion was Liverpool's Mohamed Salah in 18-19, when it was Manchester City who won the tournament, but the best player went to Salah.

However, it is worth mentioning that Salah was able to win the best player that year, probably because Salah led Liverpool to win the Champions League that year, so the FA gave him the best player, and did not let him represent the Premier League and compete for the Ballon d'Or.

This year, Manchester City and Arsenal have both been eliminated from the Champions League last-eight contests. Although Manchester City are two points ahead of Arsenal in the league, their final round opponents, West Ham United, are also a mid-to-upper league powerhouse, and it stands to reason that the award should be postponed until the league title is in place.

After all, despite Foden's excellent performance, Odegaard and Rice, who represented Asen's Player of the Round selection, are not weak. The FA gave Foden the best player in advance, and it's hard not to suspect that they have already given the title to Manchester City.

Although this speculation is a bit of a conspiracy theory, the FA's approach may amplify the actions of Manchester City and Arsenal in the final round, and any ambiguity in these two games will set off a wave of public opinion after the game.
