POTS: Dan Phillips - The amount of pressure Dan Phillips takes off the team is absolutely immense and cannot be overstated. Consistently disrupting opposition play (out-muscling, out-running, intercepting passes, etc.) and is one of the only only players in this squad who can receive a ball to feet, under heavy pressure, and play a progressive pass. I would be astounded if he isn't playing championship football as a CDM next season.

Most Improved: Filip Marschall - This is a much more difficult choice (between him & Freestone really), but I feel as though Fil has gone from a 6/10 to a solid 8/10 goalie this year. As the season kicked off I felt that he was partly at fault for a couple of early goals, wasn't super confident in his area, and there was a little Taye vs. Fil debate starting to bubble. Now I don't even remember the last time he's been called into question and I feel quite relaxed when balls go into the box. A priority for a contract extension in the summer for me.
