The nominations for the 2017 Landon Donovan Most Valuable Player award have been announced. The nominations are submitted by the clubs, with each club submitting up to 3 players. Players, technical staff, and selected media personnel will then start voting for their picks.
The list does not hold too many surprises for other teams. Atlanta United nominated their 3 designated players (Miguel Almiron, Josef Martinez and Tito Villalba) with good reason. The Chicago Fire nominated Bastian Schweinsteiger. New York City FC nominated reigning MVP David Villa, and Toronto FC nominated 2015 MVP and all-around unfair asset, Sebastian Giovinco.
