The loanees Tammy Abraham, Kenneth Omeruo, Ike Ugbo, Ola Aina and Fikayo Tomori were not in contention for any of the prizes.
For the second successive year, the Academy Player of the Year previously won by Dominic Solanke and Fikayo Tomori was not presented to a Nigerian starlet, with Reece James claiming the honour.

France international N'Golo Kanté was rewarded with the main award, Player of the Year, while Willian received the Players' Player of the Year as voted by his teammates.
