Over the last two years, The Tomkins Times has been running Player Of The Month articles based on who has accumulated the most votes in our subscribers-only post-match polls.

And we will continue to do so, though with Jürgen Klopp largely deploying the same squad as in the past two seasons, there’s a very real danger of heavy repetition. We all hope Thiago Alcantara and Diogo Jota can have a really strong spell and earn themselves an article at some point in 2020/21, but some of the Reds’ regular faces are certain to feature too.

So instead of only looking at who has been performing well, we shall also take a monthly check on our Fantasy League, which over 100 subscribers have joined. If you’re playing the game and would like to join, the code will be later in the article (below the paywall line).

But first we must look at the man who had a fine time of it in September: Sadio Mané.

The rest of this article is for subscribers only.
