Birmingham City's Jay Stansfield and Tomoki Iwata have both been shortlisted for the PFA League One Players' Player of the Year award.
Iwata impressed in his debut season with the Blues, with a highlight reel including scoring an impressive goal from outside the box during their FA Cup defeat by Newcastle.
Stansfield, whose signing broke League One's transfer record, was the division's second highest scorer, with 19 goals.
Top scorer Charlie Kelman, who was on loan at Leyton Orient from QPR, has also been nominated, along with fellow forwards Davis Keillor-Dunn of Barnsley and Wycombe Wanderers' Richard Kone and Peterborough midfielder Kwame Poku, completing the shortlist.
The winner will be announced on 19 August at Manchester Opera House.
