Wayne Rooney The Early Favourite In 2011/12 PFA Player Of The Year Betting

We may still be in the middle of pre-season but already the betting is live about which player will pick up the prestigious PFA Player Of The Year Award at the end of the upcoming campaign. Gareth Bale picked up the prize last season after a fine year for Spurs and there is plenty of value on offer for punters wanting to pick which player will follow in his footsteps over the next 12 months. At the moment there is no surprise to see Wayne Rooney heading the market with Paddy Power with the Man United Striker set to spearhead the defence of their Premier League crown, if Rooney is successful it will be the second time he has won the award having picked it up back in 2010.

Rooney started to come good again during the second half of last season after slowish start by his standards and it would be no surprise to see him hit the ground running when the campaign begins in the middle of August, Rooney can be backed at 15/2 with Paddy Power to win the award. United are the clear favourites to lift the Premier League again and as such their players feature heavily in the Player Of the Year Betting with Javier Hernandez joining Rooney towards the top of the market. The Little Pea had a brilliant first season in England despite being relatively unknown before his move from Mexico, he picks up crucial goals and crucial times and he is available at 12/1 with Paddy Power to win the PFA Award this season.

Outside of the United players in the list there are a number of top players who could have a great season and they could be worth an outside punt at this stage of pre-season, one that we like here is Luis Suarez at Liverpool who has been a roaring success since joining in January. The Uruguayan has just been successful in the Copa America as his country lifted the trophy and he picked up the prestigious player of the tournament award for himself, with that in mind he is bang in form and looks a nice price at 20/1 with Paddy Power to be named the PFA Player Of The Year for the 2011/12 Premier League season.
