AMC Roberto Firmino

Due to a borderline shocking snub from Brazil ahead of their disastrous Copa America, Firmino was able to join preseason on the first day, rendering him (and his new mini-man-pony-tail thing on the top of his head) available to start. But seriously, someone hand him a pair of clippers. Please.

Firmino will be eager for 2016-17 to start now that he’s acclimated himself to the league and club. Last year, it took him months to really settle in and hit his form. This year, that shouldn’t have to happen.

Bobby F will be one of Liverpool’s best players again next season.
