Hello everyone.
Most will know me. I am a visitor to quite a few LFC sites and have been the custodian of the Player of the Season game for over 15 years now. The game has spanned many different sites in its time; currently the voters come from YNWA, Est1892, 6CM, Scouser Tommy, TLW, and IrishKop. I am hoping that adding voters from other sites will give a more accurate picture of our feelings as Liverpool supporters.
I hope that you will all play a part in this 16th year to enable us to get a picture of our players' performances and to crown a worthy winner come May 2020.

This season, the format will be as follows:
Instead of voting for a single player as your Man of the match, you vote for your top 3. This enables a "steady Eddie" like Clyne or Hendo to get his mentions and gain some points. Points are the same as last year; the top player gets 5 points, the second player gets 3 and the third player gets a single point.
This year, like last, we have got a survey site to keep the tally easier for me.
PLEASE USE THE SURVEY SITE LINK AS I DO NOT USE THE VOTES ON THE THREADS.
I will award a bonus half point if our Goalkeeper keeps a clean sheet.
All competitive games are counted, CC, FA, Europa/Champions League and, of course, Premier League matches. This year the Community Shield and Super Cup will also count.
I shall post current league tables so that we can follow the players' performances throughout the season.
If a moderator could ensure a "sticky" when I post a Man of the Match thread, I would be grateful; also it would be nice if I could have a sticky league table thread for the game throughout the season.
Thanks for your support in this.
Getting 6 or more different Liverpool sites to vote throughout a whole season gives a good indication of the fans' feelings on players.
I look forward to collecting and calculating the results throughout the season.
YNWA.
Stu.
