Provincial champions Dublin and Galway, along with Ulster duo Tyrone and Monaghan – who have both travelled the backdoor route – are all still in with a chance of claiming the Sam Maguire next month.

And with only three games – barring replays – left in the 2018 football championship, it’s those four sides that provide the players at the core of the sides we’ve selected in our All-Star football teams from the summer so far.

There’s consensus below in choosing 12 players – Rory Beggan, Eoghan Kerin, Johnny Cooper, Frank Burns, Karl O’Connell, Brian Fenton, Mattie Donnelly, Shane Walsh, Ciaran Kilkenny, David Clifford, Damien Comer and Conor McManus.

Kerry’s Clifford is the notable exception, the only player outside of the All-Ireland semi-finalists to make the cut. The remaining matches are likely to have a major say in deciding the individual honours.

Here’s what we’ve come up with:
