The All-Stars won't be handed out for another six months but (for arguments sake!) here's the footballers who have impressed us to date in 2015 ...
1. Graham Brody (Laois)
Tyrone's Michael O'Neill filled in for Niall Morgan against Donegal and made an impressive championship debut but we're going with the O'Moore County man who kept Kildare at bay last Saturday evening.
2. Jonny Cooper (Dublin)
The Na Fianna player is Jim Gavin's go-to-man when it comes to man-marking duties and he hasn't let his manager down to date. The Dubs followed up their league success with a Leinster SFC quarter-final demolition of Longford.
3. Neil McGee (Donegal)
Toughness personified, McGee proved to be the rock on which many a Tyrone attack perished in Ballybofey. Rory Gallagher and his players face another difficult assignment away to Kieran McGeeney's Armagh this Sunday.
4. Philly McMahon (Dublin)
The Ballymun Kickhams clubman has underlined his worth to the Dublin cause with a string of impressive displays in the league this year. McMahon is one of the first names on Jim Gavin's team-sheet these days.
5. Frank McGlynn (Donegal)
An all-rounder, McGlynn is equally comfortable in both defence and attack. Counter-attacking is his speciality and, more often than not, he does the right thing in possession. He's also well able to hold his own in the physical exchanges.
6. Karl Lacey (Donegal)
The 2012 Footballer of the Year has put his search for employment on the long finger to concentrate on gaelic football this summer and, judging by his display against the Red Hand County, it is a decision that is paying off.
7. Jack McCaffrey (Dublin)
As things stand, a front runner for the Footballer of the Year accolade. The Clontarf flier has rediscovered his form of two years ago and has been one of the Metropolitans most consistent performers so far. A nightmare to mark for any half-forward.
8. Ryan Jones (Fermanagh)
Fermanagh supporters will be hoping that Jones can reproduce his 'man-of-the-match' display from their win over Antrim when they come up against Monaghan in the Anglo Celt Cup semi-final. With their backs against the wall, he rose to the occasion, kicking three points.
9. Steven O'Brien (Tipperary)
Along with Colin O'Riordan and the successful U-21s, midfielder O'Brien has shouldered a lot of the responsibility for Tipperary's climb up the gaelic football ladder. He enhanced his growing reputation with six points against Waterford.
10. Martin McElhinney (Donegal)
The Naomh Mícheál clubman is enjoying life under Rory Gallagher. He carried his impressive league form into the championship when hitting Tyrone for 1-2. Donegal fans will be hoping for more of the same in the Athletic Grounds this Sunday.
11. Ciaran Kilkenny (Dublin)
Has made a seamless return to the sky blues' starting line-up following his cruciate ligament nightmare last year. His intelligence use of possession and canny knack for popping up with crucial scores makes him a vital cog in the Dublin machine.
12. Darren Hughes (Monaghan)
A trademark Hughes point helped turn the the Ulster derby against Cavan at Kingspan Breffni Park in the Farney County's favour. If Malachy O'Rourke's men are to repeat their provincial success of two years ago, they will need the Scotstown ace to be at his very best.
13. Dean Rock (Dublin)
Alongside Kevin McManamon and Bernard Brogan, Rock forms a full-forward line that sends shivers down the spine of full-backs throughout the country. Has taken over the free-taking duties from Brogan and finished the league as top scorer with a grand total of 1-52.
14. Senan Kilbride (Roscommon)
A full-forward in the traditional mould, the St Brigid's star is well able to fight for his own ball while, as he showcased in the Division 2 final victory over Down, he is equally comfortable with left and right foot.
15. Conor McManus (Monaghan)
If there was such a thing as a transfer market in the GAA, McManus would be a top target. Was essentially the difference between Monaghan and Cavan in their provincial clash. The Breffni County were left to rue their lack of a forward of the Clontibret man's calibre.
