Shall we end on the Premier League Team of the Season, as chosen by our pundits, journalists and experts?

What an awards ceremony/live blog. And hey, at least both Fernandes and Rice fit in this team.

In a 4-3-3 formation:

David Raya (Arsenal), Jurrien Timber (Arsenal), William Saliba (Arsenal), Gabriel Magalhaes (Arsenal), Nico O'Reilly (Man City), Declan Rice (Arsenal), Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest), Igor Thiago (Brentford), Erling Haaland (Man City), Antoine Semenyo (Man City)

And while you're in an interactive mood....

Mikel Arteta edged out Keith Andrews and Andoni Iraola for our BBC Sport Awards Premier League Manager of the Season, but who are you picking?

There was only one vote separating Declan Rice and Bruno Fernandes for the Premier League Player of the Season.

Do you agree with the majority of our pundits and reporters, or would you choose another player?

A big call. And a very close one, too.

Shall we go for it then? Enough of the build-up, it's time to reveal the BBC Sport Football Awards Premier League Player of the Season (as chosen by our pundits, journalists and experts).

Three, two, one...

Plenty of contenders, especially Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes after he picked up top individual honours such as the Football Writers’ Association Footballer Of The Year, but I’m going for Declan Rice.

He has been at the very heart of Arsenal’s first title win in 22 years, a leader and an inspiration, as well as showing once again how comfortable he is on the elite stage by playing his part as they reached the Champions League Final.

I get the Bruno Fernandes argument, but Rice has driven Arsenal to the title and a Champions League final. Glory counts.

A vital cog in Arteta's midfield, Rice appeared in all but one of their league games en route to the Premier League title this season. He could yet be get his hands on the Champions League trophy, and will play a pivotal role for England this summer.

Is he the best player in the league according to our experts?

Appearances: 37

Goals: 4

Assists: 7

Arsenal's final position: 1st

There has been a lot of debate over this in various quarters because the belief seems to be that someone from Arsenal should get it because they are the champions.

I don’t view the situation like that at all.

Fernandes is someone you would pay to watch play. He makes risky passes, he creates goals.

His ability is not to defend the goal, it is working out ways to get the ball into it.

He started the season in a deeper position – to the detriment of Kobbie Mainoo – and did well. He was restored to a more offensive area by Michael Carrick and his numbers went up even more.

Do I think ‘most assists’ is a thing? I’m not sure. But I do know Manchester United would have got nowhere near to finishing third without him.

I am delighted for him [Bruno Fernandes]. He has been fantastic this season and the [Premier League] player of the year [because of] the influence he has, how driven he is and he's scored a few goals as well. He has been the heartbeat of that team.

The Manchester United talisman delivered his 21st assist on a fitting final day of the season, a campaign that has brought him widespread recognition.

That record-breaking moment added to an outstanding season in which the United captain also won the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year and the Premier League Player of the Season awards.

It is deserved not only for his performances this season — in which he also scored nine goals as United finished a creditable third — but for his consistency over a longer period.

Fernandes has been a reliable performer since joining from Sporting in 2020 and, even during difficult periods for United, he has remained one of the Premier League’s most effective attacking players.
