BUNDESLIGA TEAM OF THE SEASON 2014/15:
1: Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer (FC Bayern München) FC Bayern's No1 has continued to go from strength to strength on the back of a World Cup-winning summer, proving the most reliable, and at times spectacular, last line of defence in Germany's top flight and beating Timo Horn and Yann Sommer with 82% of the votes.
2: Right back: Vierinha (VfL Wolfsburg) 2014/15 has been a breakout season for VfL Wolfsburg and their Portuguese utility man has been one of their unsung heroes of the campaign with his menacing performances down the right flank doing just enough to edge out FC Bayern's Rafinha by just two per cent.
3:Centre-back: Jerome Boateng (FC Bayern München) Whether as part of a three-man or four-man backline, Boateng remained one of the first names on Pep Guardiola's team sheet and once again underlined his status as one of world football's best central defenders in the current campaign, collecting 69% of the vote.
4: Centre-back: Naldo (VfL Wolfsburg) With 21% of the vote, Naldo was chosen to partner Boateng in the heart of defence following his tenth and arguably best ever season in Germany's top flight in which he not only asserted himself as the Wolves' defensive stalwart, but also saw him play a direct part in eight goals (six goals, two assists)
5: Left-back: Ricardo Rodriguez (VfL Wolfsburg) The third Wolves' player to feature in the Team of the Season's backline, Rodriguez's rise to prominence showed no signs of slowing down in 2014/15 and, despite being sidelined in the first half of the season with a thigh injury, the Swiss international has still had a hand in 10 goals (six goals, four assists)
6: Defensive midfielder: David Alaba (FC Bayern München) He may have only featured in 19 of FC Bayern's league outings this season, but Alaba played a significant role in each and every one of them after adopting a more central role, while his prowess from set-piece situations likely played a big role in his tally of 51 per cent of the votes.
7: Defensive midfielder: Xabi Alonso (FC Bayern München) Signed in the summer from Real Madrid CF, Alonso grabbed 24 per cent of the poll having immediately asserted himself as FC Bayern's midfield metronome, breaking two Bundesliga records for most touches and most passes completed in a single match against 1. FC Köln
8: Right winger: Arjen Robben (FC Bayern München) Robben was in the best form of his storied career in 2014/15 before suffering a season-ending injury which robbed FC Bayern of their most important player and the Flying Dutchman the chance to clinch the top goalscorer award. It didn't prevent him from picking up 75 per cent of the votes.
9: Central attacking midfielder: Kevin De Bruyne (VfL Wolfsburg) Regarded as the frontrunner for the Bundesliga Player of the Season, it comes as no surprise that the Wolves' playmaker extraordinaire picked up 61 per cent of the votes having either scored or set-up 29 of Wolfsburg's 68 goals this season so far
10: Left winger: Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund) 2014/15 has been a rough campaign for Borussia Dortmund, but Marco Reus' performances when not sidelined through injury are not only one of the main reasons Jürgen Klopp's sides could still clinch European qualification, but they also earned him 75 per cent of the vote
11: Striker: Robert Lewandowski (FC Bayern München) A complete striker in every sense of the description, the Pole may have not hit the ground running at first in Munich, but his goals, which included strikes in both encounters with former club Borussia Dortmund, played a pivotal role in guiding the Bavarians to a third straight Bundesliga title
