No doubt until recently, SB probably had this award in his back pocket. He locked this up when he won another La Liga in his last spell at Barcelona. It was his 3rd La Liga in a row - an astonishing achievement in itself - but it was also his only trophy for FIFA 16. Since re-joining Chelsea however, although finishing 2nd in the league, and semi finalist in the Champions League, he has once again finished a season without adding a trophy.
It must be noted that despite winning 4 La Liga's titles, 2 Copa Del Rey's, and a Champions League - he has never won anything when not in charge of Barcelona. One must wonder was it the team, perhaps the greatest ensemble of players in history, or the coach, responsible for all the titles.
JM, on the other hand, has had a couple of pretty miserable league campaigns, in Spain and most recently in England. However, JM has now done something SB has never achieved - he's won a title with another team. Not just any title - an elusive Champions League title.
So, considering everything just said, FPA takes great pleasure in announcing its FIFA 16 Player of the Year: JM.
Purely based on the remarkable Champions League victory in taking unfancied Manchester United all the way. Possibly the greatest achievement of anyone in all time FIFA history.
