It's been another Premier League season full of skills, thrills, spills, drama, controversy, joy and despair. Through the ups and downs - or just ups or downs depending on who you support - which player stood out as the top performer for your side?
Our fan writers picked four candidates for their club below and we left you to make your choice.
The vote is now closed and the results are in...
Arsenal
Candidates chosen by Charlene Smith, AFTV
Nominees: Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard, Ben White
Winner: Martin Odegaard - 68%
Charlene Smith, AFTV, external: Our captain has lived up to the role fantastically. His movement and creativity is magical and he reads the game well. Odegaard has shown us this season that his feet do the talking. He won December's Premier League Player of the Month award and then was named Premier League Player of the Year at the London Football Awards.
Aston Villa
Candidates chosen by Richard Sutherland, The Villa Park Podcast
Nominees: Tyrone Mings, Douglas Luiz, Ashley Young, Ollie Watkins
Winner: Ollie Watkins - 58%
Richard Sutherland, The Villa Park Podcast:, external Another player who has really benefited from Emery taking over. Watkins has simplified his game - he now doesn't chase across the backline - and has reaped the rewards. A run of 11 goals in 12 games was just incredible.
Bournemouth
Candidates chosen by Tom Jordan, Back of the Net
Nominees: Philip Billing, Neto, Jefferson Lerma, Marcus Tavernier
Winner: Philip Billing - 45%
Tom Jordann, Back of the Net:, external Billing has been colossal for us this season. He's now one of Gary O'Neil's first names on the team sheet, our top goal-scorer from midfield and a consistent performer throughout. We'll do well to keep hold of him, as I'm sure there will be plenty of suitors for the Danish maestro.
Brentford
Candidates chosen by Ian Westbrook, Beesotted
Nominees: Ivan Toney, Ben Mee, David Raya, Mathias Jensen
Winner: Ivan Toney - 62%
Ian Westbrook, Beesotted:, external Ivan is the Premier League's third-top scorer with 20 goals - a hugely impressive total, especially given he played in League One three seasons ago. He contributes all over the pitch, particularly defending set-pieces, deservedly won his first England cap in March, and will be missed by Brentford during his ban.
Brighton & Hove Albion
Candidates chosen by Stuart Matthews, Proud Seagulls
Nominees: Jason Steele, Julio Enciso, Alexis Mac Allister, Moises Caicedo
Winner: Alexis Mac Allister - 54%
Stuart Matthews, Proud Seagulls:, external I had to add him to this list - our very own World Cup winner. I'm sure over the summer there will be interest for him in the transfer market. The club, no doubt, have put a huge price on his head. He is an amazing player and can be found all over midfield as well as further forward. He can dominate the top of the box and catch the defence off guard.
Chelsea
Candidates chosen by Ross Mooring, Chelsea Fancast
Nominees: Ben Chilwell, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Enzo Fernandez, Thiago Silva
Winner: Thiago Silva - 64%
Ross Mooring, Chelsea Fancast:, external Silva was one man who played with passion, toughness and an unmistakable swagger in Chelsea blue. The ageless Brazilian wonder put his body on the line to fight for the team time and time again.
Crystal Palace
Candidates chosen by Jay Crame, The Eagles Beak
Nominees: Marc Guehi, Cheick Doucoure, Joachim Andersen, Michael Olise
Winner: Michael Olise - 54%
Jay Crame, The Eagles Beak:, external This guy is the real deal. He may not smile much, but it says everything about his contribution to the team when he has 11 assists to his name - the most in the Premier League by a Palace player.
Everton
Candidates chosen by Briony Bragg, This Fan Girl
Nominees: Seamus Coleman, Jordan Pickford, Dwight McNeil, James Tarkowski
Winner: Jordan Pickford - 55%
Briony Bragg, This Fan Girl:, external Jordan has shown all the grit and determination he did last season to try to drag us out of the relegation fight, pulling off some stunning saves in the process. There are so many game-changing moments he has stopped happening. England's number one, without doubt.
Fulham
Candidates selected by Dan Crawford, Hammy End
Nominees: Bernd Leno, Kenny Tete, Tim Ream, Joao Palhinha
Winner: Joao Palhinha - 68%
Dan Crawford, Hammy End:, external The signing of the season bar none. We wonder at how Fulham prised Palhinha away from Sporting Lisbon for £18m after watching his tenacious tackling and reading of the game, while also loving his appreciation of the reworking of 'Tequila' in his honour. A Craven Cottage cult hero already.
Leeds United
Candidates chosen by Jess Furness, Her Game Too
Nominees: Luis Sinisterra, Jack Harrison, Tyler Adams, Rodrigo
Winner: Rodrigo - 53%
Jess Furness, Her Game Too:, external Rodrigo has scored 13 goals in the league this season despite missing plenty of games because of injury, and those goals have been important. He can hold his head up high and know that we are grateful for him fighting for the badge. Rodrigo will get snapped up in no time now we've been relegated.
Leicester City
Candidates chosen by Sam Holloway, LeicesterFanTV
Nominees: James Maddison, Harvey Barnes, Kelechi Iheanacho, Nampalys Mendy
Winner: James Maddison - 62%
Sam Holloway, LeicesterFanTV:, external While his time looks to be complete at Leicester as he moves onto bigger prospects, he has still been our standout player of the season. In 32 matches, he has 10 goals and nine assists, which is very good record considering he is a central attacking midfield player in an overall poor Foxes side
Liverpool
Candidates chosen by Harriet Prior, The Anfield Wrap
Nominees: Alisson, Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Stefan Bajcetic
Winner: Alisson - 50%
Harriet Prior, The Anfield Wrap:, external It's unsettling for Liverpool fans to think where they'd be this season without this man in goal. Recently marking a century of clean sheets, Alisson's standards have rarely faltered. Left more exposed than ever before, the keeper proved he is up for the job - and that's without mentioning his passing capabilities and leadership qualities.
Manchester City
Candidates chosen by Ger Deegan, formerly of Maine Road Ramble
Nominees: Erling Haaland, Nathan Ake, John Stones, Rodri
Winner: Erling Haaland - 76%
Ger Deegan, formerly of Maine Road Ramble:, external How could you even consider a list without mentioning Haaland? What a signing he has been. The talk and attention heading into the season was all about how Manchester City would adapt to playing with a genuine striker again. I think it's safe to say all questions have been emphatically answered.
Manchester United
Candidates chosen by Dale O'Donnell, Stretty News
Nominees: Marcus Rashford, Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw
Winner: Casemiro - 53%
Dale O'Donnell, Stretty News:, external Manchester United have been crying out for a top quality defensive midfielder for years. The Brazilian hasn't just provided the team with security in that area, but he possesses the ability to unlock teams from deep positions and has scored a number of important goals. A midfield general.
Newcastle United
Candidates chosen by Pete Davey, LoadedMagNUFC
Nominees: Joelinton, Kieran Trippier, Callum Wilson, Sven Botman
Winner: Kieran Trippier - 55%
Pete Davey, LoadedMag NUFC:, external The skipper led by example. His calmness under pressure has helped guide this inexperienced team through difficult periods this season, and he is also crucial to everything good we do on the pitch. Corners, free-kicks, chances created - stats better than most midfielders and attackers. My captain!
Nottingham Forest
Candidates chosen by Ben Dore, Dore on Tour
Nominees: Serge Aurier, Felipe, Morgan Gibbs-White, Brennan Johnson
Winner: Morgan Gibbs-White - 66%
Ben Dore, Dore on Tour:, external Forest paid a club record fee for Gibbs-White. At the time it was scoffed at, but his performances in recent weeks have reaffirmed what a great signing he was. His pace, drive and boundless energy, along with his creativity, put him right up there with our standout performers.
Southampton
Candidates chosen by Ray Hunt, In That Number
Nominees: James Ward-Prowse, Romeo Lavia, Carlos Alcaraz, Romain Perraud
Winner: James Ward-Prowse - 71%
Ray Hunt, In That Number:, external Ever ready, ever present and always leading by example in what appears to be his final season at Southampton - a club he's represented since he was eight years old. This campaign, he leads the team in goals and assists and has moved to within just one of the Premier League free-kick record.
Tottenham Hotspur
Candidates chosen by John Wenham, Lilywhite Rose
Nominees: Harry Kane, Rodrigo Bentancur, Fraser Forster, Emerson Royal
Winner: Harry Kane - 86%
John Wenham, Lilywhite Rose:, external Kane is the one man who has continued to deliver despite the form of those around him. Where would Spurs be without their talisman? The world-class forward has hit 30 goals in the league and without the arrival of Erling Haaland would comfortably be the Golden Boot winner (again). Kane also became Spurs' all-time leading goalscorer this season, overtaking Jimmy Greaves.
West Ham United
Candidates chosen by James Jones, We Are West Ham
Nominees: Declan Rice, Said Benrahma, Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen
Winner: Declan Rice - 74%
James Jones, We Are West Ham:, external We've come to expect consistently world-class performances from Rice over the years, which is why he probably hasn't been hailed as often as he would normally be. However, without his ever-presence and ongoing development as one of the world's best midfielders, we wouldn't be in a European final.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Candidates chosen by Dazzling Dave, Always Wolves Fan TV
Nominees: Craig Dawson, Ruben Neves, Mario Lemina, Toti
Winner: Ruben Neves - 71%
Dazzling Dave, Always Wolves Fan TV:, external Captain Fantastic! Mr Consistent! Legend! When times were tough, Ruben got stuck in and helped dig this team out of the mire. He gives his heart and soul every time he pulls on the old gold shirt. The six years of Ruben at Molineux have been amazing!
