ALPHONSE AREOLA: Had a great game in the League Cup win against Man City. Solid in all the cups even if he occasionally struggled on crosses. 7/10
VLADIMIR COUFAL: Campaign disrupted by injury and a hernia operation. Hopefully will be back to his best next season. 6/10
BEN JOHNSON: Looked really impressive playing at both right and left back. Needs to improve his crossing but very solid defensively. 7/10
RYAN FREDERICKS: Likely to depart but a useful squad player who did well on the occasions he was called upon. 6/10
HARRISON ASHBEE: Got a few games at right-back and looked promising. Would benefit from a loan spell in the Championship. 6/10
AARON CRESSWELL: Made his usual assists, but sometimes vulnerable defensively and his two red cards in the Europa League proved costly. 6/10
ARTHUR MASUAKU: Only a bit-part player but scored a Messi-like chip against Chelsea for which he'll always be remembered. Though a bit too honest in admitting it was a cross. 6/10
CRAIG DAWSON: Immense at the back even if he gave away a few penalties. Must perform the most blocks in the division. An absolute bargain for £2 million. 8/10
ANGELO OGBONNA: Was playing really well until his ACL injury cruelly ended his season. WHU missed his presence on the left side of defence. 7/10
KURT ZOUMA: A good buy and scored a fine goal against Liverpool. Looks a quality defender, but please no more cat-astrophies. Did show some character to play through the cat-calls. 7/10 (Cat care: 0/10)
ISSA DIOP: Embarrassed by Kidderminster but showed character to play well in the away win at Lyon. Needs to improve next season and match his early promise. 5/10
DECLAN RICE: Our best player, he stepped up a gear and added a turn of pace and a few goals to his game. Also shows great maturity as captain. We just need to keep hold of him. 9/10
TOMAS SOUCEK: Looked exhausted and clearly the demands of so many games proved too much for him. Scored a few important goals but not the player he was the previous season. 5/10
MARK NOBLE: Lost his pace but never let anyone down when asked to play and produced a fantastic through ball for Antonio away to Liverpool. His last home game will linger long in the memory. 6/10
ALEX KRAL: Despite being a Czech international Moyes never trusted him. Did OK in the League Cup win at Man United but his first half performance at Kidderminster saw Moyes lose faith in him completely. A mystery why WHU loaned him as a better signing could have taken the pressure off Soucek. 3/10
PABLO FORNALS: Started the season in great form but faded after Christmas. Played some great through balls at times and always worked immensely hard. Could have scored more than six goals though. 6/10
SAID BENRAHMA: Found his scoring form, netting 11 goals. Inconsistent at times but can produce something different on his day. 7/10
MANUEL LANZINI: Won his place back, scored a belter at Man City, a lovely half-volley at Palace and some important penalties. Did an important and underrated job knitting the midfield together. 7/10
NIKOLA VLASIC: A big disappointment for £26 million. Did manage to score at Watford and at times looks strong holding up the ball, but not must else. Have to hope his second season is a big improvement. 4/10
MICHAIL ANTONIO: Did really well to stay fit all season. The goals declined after Christmas but started off the season on fire. Netted 13 times and always a handful for defenders, plus a great celebration with a cardboard cutout of himself against Leicester. 7/10
JARROD BOWEN: After always getting subbed the previous season he really proved he was a top PL striker with 18 goals and numerous assists, plus an England call-up and dates with Dani Dyer. 9/10
ANDRIY YARMOLENKO: Never the same player after his ACL injury, but scored two important and emotional goals against Villa and Sevilla. 7/10
SONNY PERKINS: Will have been delighted to get some game time and nearly score on his debut in the Europa League. 5/10
