Former France and Arsenal striker Thierry Henry is one of three players nominated for Major League Soccer's Most Valuable Player award.
Henry finished in the top three of a poll of current MLS players, coaches, club officials and supporters.
The 35-year-old Henry struck 15 goals for the New York Red Bulls who were eliminated from the play-offs by D.C. United in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.
San Jose Earthquakes striker Chris Wondolowski, who equalled the league's record for goals scored in a regular season with 27, was also nominated along with Sporting Kansas City midfielder Graham Zusi, who had the most assists.
Ben Olsen (D.C. United), Peter Vermes (Sporting Kansas City) and Frank Yallop (San Jose Earthquakes) are the three nominees for coach of the year.
The winner of the awards will be announced on 29 November.
The 25-year-old has been linked with a big-money move to Manchester City with reports suggesting the Premier League champions were lining up a move for the Uruguayan in January.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers played down the rumours earlier on Thursday insisting his star striker was not for sale.
Suarez, who signed a new deal at Anfield in the summer, insists he has no plans to quit the club and that he is enjoying working under Rodgers.
"I have a very long contract here and it's a dream come true to be playing at a club like Liverpool because, as I've said, as a boy I dreamt of playing for a team like this," Suarez told the club's official website
"Now I'm here, it's all about enjoying myself and trying to be here for as many years as I can, because I'm at a club where I'm very happy, my family is happy, I've got fantastic team-mates and a manager from whom I'm learning so much.
"As a player, it's vital to have the backing of your manager and so I think that the confidence Brendan is showing in myself and the team as a whole is very important and it's down to us to repay that trust out there on the pitch."
Suarez added: "Let's hope we can keep improving. I'm working well and I'm very happy at a club where I've always wanted to be. At a club to whom I'm very grateful for the trust everyone is showing in me - a club with amazing supporters and team-mates who are all great people.
"The other important thing is that the squad is very united. In spite of not getting the results we would have liked, we have a great spirit of togetherness and let's hope we can continue to pick up points."
