A total of 42 players have been shortlisted by the German Football League (DFL) and EA Sports, including three from VfB Stuttgart. Midfielder Angelo Stiller, left-back Maximilian Mittelstädt and forward Nick Woltemade are the VfB trio who could make it into the Bundesliga Team of the Season. Their nomination is an accolade for the team’s performance as well as an honour for the three players. Voting is now under way.
Voting open until Sunday night
The vote opened on Wednesday and will run until 19:59 CEST on Sunday 27 April. Using official Bundesliga match data, exactly 42 players were selected who have particularly impressed in the current campaign. The final 11 will be decided by an expert panel (30 percent), the captains of the 18 Bundesliga clubs (30 percent) as well as the fans’ votes (40 percent). The Team of the Season will be officially announced on Friday 9 May.
