Player Awards
Division 1 and Overall Top 100 Player of the Season
Lionel Messi is the Top 100 Player of the Season and D1 Award winner.
By his own phenomenal standards, magical Messi had a relatively poor season stats-wise, but was the driving force for Barca as they powered to a record breaking fifth title.
Robert Lewandowski was unlucky to finish second in the poll after scoring a colossal 26 goals in 37 league games.
Messi has been by far the greatest player in Top 100 history and long may his form continue. We will be going all out for the league again this year to try and make it a record breaking 6 titles and Messi will be a major part of that ambition.
Scott Mckenzie, Barcelona boss
Division 2 Player of the Season
Yet another incredible season for 34 year old Cristiano Ronaldo, leading Milan's surge to the top of D2.
He was head and shoulders above everyone else in the division.
Ronaldo was the game changer and we should of won the league by more. It showed when he was out - I struggled.
Milan manager Paddy D
Division 3 Player of the Season
Hamburger dominated the individual award for D3 this season, and it was veteran left wingback Marcel Schmelzer who, perhaps surprisingly, saw off teammates Alex Teixeira and Lucas Vazquez.
Schmelz had a brilliant season for us marauding down the left flank. I think he enjoyed himself, too, having a bit more freedom to play in a 3-4-3. We put him on corners, and he caused all sorts of problems with his delivery into the box.
Der Dino Boss David Marsden
Division 4 Player of the Season
Marseille's Algerian forward Ryad Boudebouz is the D5 Player of the Season.
Following the sale of Giorgian De Arrascaeta to Villarreal, a lot was put on the shoulders of Ryad Boudebouz to lead the line at Marseille in Season 9.
He delivered with 19 goals and 3 assists, with 7 Man of the Match awards and importantly only 2 yellow cards.
Unfortunately for Marseille, in a season where the bottom half of the table were involved in six point matches each week, two separate ankle injuries late in the season cost him 5 matches in the run in, which contributed to the relegation to Division 5. Put simply, he was head and shoulders above the other strikers, where Acosta struggled after he lost a step of pace. He was the silver lining in a tough and disappointing season. We are happy for him to be recognized for his performances … and we are very happy he wants to be here for our next campaign.
Marseille manager Mike T
Although not enough to save his club from relegation to Division 5, he beat rivals Morgan Sanson and Roberto Firmino to this prized award.
I am looking forward to the challenge in Division 5. I have had a sit down with the manager after he signed to a 3 year deal contingent on promotion back to Division 4. He told me he was counting on me next season and had no interest in selling me … and to be honest I want to be here.
Marseille's Ryad Boudebouz
Division 5 Player of the Season
Dinamo Zagreb's young star Borja Mayoral's 17 league goals was enough to comfortably see off the challenges from veteran's Sandro Wagner and Franck Ribery to win the D5 Player of the Season Award.
When we made the deal to let Maxi Gomez leave the club, Mayoral stepped in as our top striker and he filled the shoes beautifully. He can play as the 9 or 10. He deserves all credit as he's trained hard and been committed to the team. I imagine he will be a big part of Dinamo Zagreb for seasons to come. Personally, it's a great accomplishment for the club to have such a young talented player recognized for his individual success. Thank you the Top 100.
Dinamo Zagreb boss Jess Jobe
Young Player of the Season
Benfica's starlet Kylian Mbappe narrowly won the Top 100 Young Player of the Season Award.
The Frenchman's 10 goals, 10 assists, 5 Man of the Match awards, and an average performance rating 7.45 in his first season in D1, propelled his club to a top 10 finish in the league, and a Cup Winner's medal, too.
Mbappe narrowly saw off the challenge of Dinamo Zagreb's Borja Mayoral.
Mbappe was an immense presence for us this season and the first name on the team sheet. He scored the winner in the Quarter-Final of the cup and played pivotal parts in the Semi-Final and Final. He is the subject of lot of transfer attention but I can categorically say the lad is going nowhere bar an insane offer!
Mark Stewart, Manager of Benfica

The race for promotion from Division 4 went right to the final game of the Season with Malaga & Greg Billington just missing out.

The Division 3 Title race also went down to the wire, with 1 game to go 3rd placed Ajax leapfrogged Ajax & Basel to snatch the title.

Below are the End of Season Awards for Division 5… Division 5 Manager of the Season 3rd Place: Zaid Griffin (Feyenoord) 15% 2nd Place: Andrew Kelly (Villarreal) 40% 1st Place: feargal a hickey (VFB Stuttgart) 43%
Feargal just edges Andrew to the Division 5 MOTY even with Andrew winning the league by 11 points, the side that Feargal took over at the start of the season was 1 that most thought would be fighting relegation. A Cup win & a promotion later and VFB will not only be playing in Division 4 next Season, but will also have a shot in Europe. Andrew’s Villarreal side got back to Division 4 in style, winning the league by 11 points alongside Zaid’s Feyenoord side who were also relegated last season.
Division 5 Young Player of the Season 3rd Place: Joshua KIMMICH (Anderlecht) 13% 3rd Place: Sven VAN BEEK (Feyenoord) 13% 2nd Place: Ricardo KISHNA (Feyenoord) 25% 1st Place: Timo PLATTEL (FC Twente) 27%
Timo Plattel was a revelation in goal for FC Twente, at the start of the season when Twente were shipping goals at a rate of knots, Platell was still coming up with MOM awards and as such was picked in the Division 5 TOTW on 5 occasions. Plattel has since signed for Espanyol who will be playing Division 5 football themselves next season.
Division 5 Player of the Season
2nd Place: Gerard MORENO (Villarreal) 8% 2nd Place: Víctor RUÍZ (Villarreal) 8% 1st Place: Troy DEENEY (Feyenoord) 60%
