They all, of course, helped the Reds lift a sixth European Cup in June in Madrid, after a 97-point Premier League season.
Alisson and Firmino also went on to enjoy Copa America glory with Brazil in the summer, while Mane reached the Africa Cup of Nations final with Senegal, and Van Dijk and Wijnaldum were runners-up in the UEFA Nations League with the Netherlands.
The winner of the prize will be announced at a ceremony in Paris on Monday, December 2.
