Antonee Robinson (19.9%)

An immensely reliable player at the back, Bassey fielded in all but three of our Premier League fixtures as the Cottagers went ahead to clinch a record points haul, with his pace, strength and confidence bringing the ball out of defence a key component in our success.
The Nigerian also contributed at the other side with two vital goals – the winner at home to high-performing Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest, and the opener at Old Trafford in Fulham’s famous Emirates FA Cup win.
According to the Club’s official website, in his grstitude, Calvin Bassey said: “Thank you guys for voting me Player of the Season. I want to thank God – without God I wouldn’t be where I am.
“Big up all my team, guys who are not necessarily at the Club, who have been helping me.
“Obviously, thanks to the coaching staff and the Manager for trusting me and believing in me. Hopefully we can do amazing things next season, so thank you for your support guys.”
