Derby County’s Andreas Weimann has been named on the initial shortlist for the PFA Fans' Player of the Month Award for November in the Sky Bet Championship.

The Austrian forward started in all four of the Rams’ league matches during the month, scoring twice, against Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff City, and also produced a number of lively displays.

The shortlist will be cut to a final three on Thursday (3rd December) so Rams fans are encouraged to vote for Weimann here: skysports.com/pfafanvote.

The initial Championship shortlist is as follows: Alex Mowatt (Leeds), Andre Gray (Burnley), Andreas Weimann (Derby), Brett Pitman (Ipswich), Daryl Murphy (Ipswich), David Marshall (Cardiff), Elliott Bennett (Bristol City), Johnnie Jackson (Charlton), Lucas Joao (Sheffield Wednesday), Mohamed Diame (Hull), Ross McCormack (Fulham) and Sam Clucas (Hull).

Every month, throughout the English football season, fans will have the opportunity to vote on SkySports.com for who they think has been the best player in each of the Barclays Premier League, Sky Bet Championship, Sky Bet League One and Sky Bet League Two, after Sky Sports teamed up with the PFA to be the digital platform for the Awards.

Before the vote opens each month, an expert panel produce a shortlist of contenders. Fans will then be able to vote for the player they think deserves the award.

One voting fan in each division, who is a resident in the UK or Ireland, will win the chance (subject to terms and conditions) to meet and present the award to each PFA Fans' Player of the Month. And that's not all - one of the winners will join the experts on the following month's shortlisting panel.

The panel includes Sky Sports football pundits Paul Merson, Ian Holloway and Peter Beagrie. That trio will be joined by Mike Riley, general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials, and Malcolm Clarke, chairman of the Football Supporters Federation, as well as the winning fan from each month.

The winner will be announced after the round of fixtures starting on December 8th.
