2020-21 SFCU Player of the Season (voting thread)

Im wondering whether I am biased or on the money, but I find myself giving lots of points to nink almost every week so far. Hardly anyone else has had the impact he has on the field

That just makes you a person of refined taste

Speaking of Ninko (and refined taste), the result for the 0-0 draw vs Brisbane is in, and who else but Milos Ninkovic took MOTM. He had 98 votes from 49 voters, an average of exactly 2 each, to take his 3rd MOTM of the season and the 34th of his Sydney FC career.

As always, thanks to everyone who voted – there are about 24 hours left for the loss vs City and plenty of time for the Macarthur game:

Still speaking of Milos Ninkovic, he also won MOTM for the away loss to Melbourne City. He picked up 2.81 votes on average — the highest rate so far this season — and did it after coming off the bench in the 58th minute, becoming the 12th sub to win a SFCU MOTM (out of 312 matches). It is his 4th of the season, and the 35th of his Sydney FC career.

Don’t forget to get your votes in for the Macarthur game if you haven’t already:

Is that 35 for Milos a record?

Yep, by a long way. Second is Janjetovic with 21, though Rhyan Grant is just one behind him at the moment.

to think Janjetovic looked so good initially for us, before going off a cliff…

That remains the best bit of transfer business where a “fee” was involved that this club has made.

Result for the home loss against Macarthur… once again, Milos Ninkovic was the clear winner. It’s his 3rd consecutive MOTM, his 5th in 8 appearances this season, and the 36th of his SFC career.

Voting for the Brisbane game is still open

Kosta did alright…

He set up both goals. He deserves some credit. Missed 1 good chance but no absolute howlers like most games

Hi @Rowdy I accidentally put my WU points into the Newcastle game.
I’ve gone and put my WU votes in now, but is it possible to cancel my Newcastle votes? I only watched the mini match for that and can’t vote based on that.
Thanks

Yep sure. I don’t know if I can cancel them such that it’ll let you vote (if you wanted to), but I won’t count them. And if you want to submit other votes, just PM them to me.

Results for the two matches in Week 11:

Away vs Brisbane – Ryan McGowan came out on top for his first MOTM with Sydney FC. He didn’t get a single top-3 finish last season (& Wilko only had one joint-third).

Home vs Western Utd – Rhyan Grant finally got his first MOTM for the season, the 21st of his career. That puts him equal second now with Janjetovic on career MOTMs, behind only Ninko (with 36).

That means we’ve now had six different MOTM winners this season, although only Ninko has more than one.

Thanks as always to everyone who’s voted, we are seeing consistently high numbers every match. That said, there’s still time to get yours in for the win over Newcastle:

Huzzah. Finally a Centre back victory!

And again! Alex Wilkinson hasn’t had a MOTM in nearly exactly two years… turns out all he needed to do was score the winning goal. It’s the fourth MOTM of his SFC career, and he is the seventh different winner this season.

With the postponed game there is no voting open at the moment, but obviously keep an eye out here late tomorrow night for Perth voting to open.

As a card carrying member of the Defenders Union and proponent of Eurovision style voting blocs, it is a shame that it takes a defender scoring a goal to get proper recognition, but we’ll take it!
