The 2020-21 campaign was a season of significant evolution for MK Dons as they finished 13th in League One under the ambitious, possession-based philosophy of manager Russell Martin. Spearheading the charge was the creative force Scott Fraser, whose 14 league goals proved decisive in a campaign built on a commitment to a brilliant, attacking style of football. Fraser's influential performances earned him the club's Players' Player of the Year award. It was a pivotal year that saw the Dons climb the table with a strong second half and laid the crucial tactical groundwork for their future promotion push.
