Martinez then Mings, Luiz or Kamara. If he'd been able to play near enough a full season, it's prob Kamara.

Far more interesting battle would be if there was a most improved option.

Mings again would be in the shake up for that, but Konsa, Watkins and McGinn would be closer to the top - particularly if we're talking second half of the season.

Impossible to see above Martinez - he has been magnificent so many points saved.

Mings is one of my favourite Villa players ever, the way Gerrard treated him was disgraceful. The way he's responded and come back is amazing.

However, for me, Martinez makes everything tick at the back, so he gets my vote.

After a lot of deliberation I've plumped for Martinez. Long and short of it, in a season where accolades have rained down on him, it felt churlish not to. You could not help but give your best if playing in front of him, and he has become integral, even pivotal, in how we play.

Mings is still the most immense human being alive, though.

McGinn, Watkins and Mings are the top three for me but went for Mcginn. Not much in it though. All have been great.

Mings not just because of his on field performances but just the colossus of a man he is off the pitch. We have lots of great ambassadors of the club but none better than Tyrone.

McGinn and Watkins only turned up after Christmas.

Unsderstand all of the above.  Stiil, I'm voting for Young because without his [performances since Cash's absence we would have been in real trouble.

Mings is the most improved I think. This is by far his best season with us in the PL. He has reached a level I really didn't think he was capable of. All the others I always thought had the ability to kick on with a top class coach. Luiz needed to up his application to match his ability and he has done that spectacularly. Aside from Martinez, I think he's the one that's going to have the most interest in him from CL.clubs this summer.

Tyrone for me too. The way he’s played and the way he dealt with the captaincy issue, excellent. Fully deserves an England recall. Unlikely with Southgate preferring Maguire the Magnificent.
I just love Mings. He gives everything , dominates the defence, always body on the line, he’s intelligent well spoken and keeps things balanced. He’s our captain really
He’s my captain

I second all of the above ! If it wasn’t for a couple of Cash’s injuries and therefore Young’s extended game time, I would have voted Mings

My top 3
1. Douglas.
2. Tyrone Mings who has come back to exceptionally well despite losing his captaincy and position on the team.
3. And Ollie Watkins for record-breaking scoring season.
