Vote now for your 2021/22 Player of the Season

The Werkself look back at a successful season. The recently ended 2021/22 campaign brought a number of changes: Head coach Gerardo Seoane completed his first season, the stands at the BayArena finally welcomed back crowds and Werkself legend Rudi Völler moved over to make way for the next generation. But there were not only numerous events off the pitch. The Werkself were able to thrill with attractive attacking football. The results at the end of the season is third place and qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League.

Now it's down to YOU! As in previous years at the end of the season, we are again looking for your Player of the Season in 2021/22.

Which Bayer 04 player particularly stands out this season? Can last year's winner Florian Wirtz hold on to his title this time round? Or will Florian Wirtz be overshadowed by one of his teammates in spite of an outstanding season?

Three Werkself players are among the top 11 scorers and providers in the Bundesliga: the Leverkusen top goalscorer Patrik Schick (24 goals, 4 assists), winger Moussa Diaby (13 goals, 12 assists) and youngster Florian Wirtz (7 goals, 11 assists). But other players like Robert Andrich or Jeremie Frimpong could win the hearts of Black and Red fans.
