Awards
Player of the Year
The 23 year old took played well beyond his years, leading his club the their 2nd championship and their first since the inaugural Premier League season. He was one of the highest scoring midfielders, netting in 14 goals, to go along with a phenomenal 25 assists, which became a new Premier League record. His average rating was 7.91, which also became a new record, topping the one Julio Matis set in Year One. His unmatched pace and speed were primary reasons for his success, but it wouldnt have meant much if he didnt possess the maturity he has. The former U21 star and current Lions right winger did it all this season, and Shoreland United won the title because of it.

Striker of the Year
After leading unheralded Groftanne to 7th place in the Premier League, Contares stated that he would like a contract to extend his stay in the southern Nedalian town because he loved the climate, and more importantly, he loved the people. Its safe to say that the feeling is reciprocated, after the sensational season the striker delivered. He led the Premier League in scoring after netting in 28 goals, but it was also the 26 year old's overall game that got him this prestigious award. He delivered 8 assists to go with 8 MotMs and got a Rating of 7.79. The 28 goals he scored were easily the highest of his entire career.
Manager of the Year
Foreign Report
Bettia
- Omar Whistler: Made a successful switch from on Free Transfer to Strundanne AC, despite his clubs underachieving season...Could be classified as the catch of the season, as the 11th placed team paid nothing for the services of the midfielder...They were rewarded with 4 goals, 6 assists, 2 MotM, and a Rating of 7.35 in 31 appearances...The Bettia international is looking forward to the next year, which he hopes will top his accomplishments from this year.
- Ziyad Farmer: Made the move from Maindy FC to Porasse FC for $1.9 million, the most expensive out of a trio of Bettian moves in the offseason...Despite that, was the least consistent of the three players, suffering from several lapses of bad spells...On his good days, plays as well as anyone, but for the midfielder, they came far and wide between...Appeared 27 times for his club, scoring only 1 goal to go with 3 assists, 0 MotM, and a Rating of 6.76...His club, however, did suprisingly well, finishing 9th over several years in Premier League obscurity.
- Laurie LeClerc: Also made the move from Maindy FC, joining Zupera United for $900,000...The striker was the leading goalscorer for his club, who finished 14th in the Premier League...Was arguably the most impressive of the Bettians who made the switch to the Premier League this season...His 17 goals were good for 10th best in the Goal-Scorers Chart...Also added 2 assists, 3 MofM, and a Rating of 7.38.
Hypocria
- Peter Costanzo: Hypocria has only one representative in the Nedalia Premier League, and its the 25 year old right midfielder who plays for Bronkstone FC...Played well this season, helping his team to a 8th place finish, jsut about what the "experts" predicted at the beginning of the season...Featured in 30 matches, scoring 3 goals and handing out 5 assists to go with 1 MotM and a Rating of 7.21...Is enjoying his time in the Nedalian capital, and is looking to extend his contract with the club.
Krytenia
- Ray Lausano: Netted in 19 goals for Dorpar AC this season after coming in from New Osteria, helping his new club to 4th in the Nedalia Premier League...Those 19 goals made him the 8th top scorer in Year Four...Also dished out 5 assists to go with the goals, had an final average ranking of 7.43 in 35 appearances...His touch around the goal was the primary weapon for Dorpar throughout the season...Originally came from Krytenia after Year Three for $3.6 million.
Nova Britannicus
Starblaydia
- David Bentley: The Honsfield Athletic manager suprised many when he took a somewhat unheralded squad to 3rd place in the League...The former Starblaydia international was caught in some mid-season drama when he was sent off for threatening the life of a referee...Apparently, he did not agree with an offside ruling and told the referee to "make sure he starts getting someone else to turn on his car"...Was suspended for 3 games because of those antics...Nonetheless, proved to be one of the best managers this season.
- Julio Matis: It seems that age has finally caught up with the Starblaydi, who only appeared 14 times and scored only 3 games this season, his last as a professional footballer...Still holds the Premier League record for most goals scored in a season (31), which he accomplished in Year One...His goalscoring tally has dipped since, with 16 goals scored in Year Two and 8 scored in Year Three, bringins his total tally for his career in Nedalia to 58...Honsfield will be sad to see him go, was one of the fan favorites.
