There are eight candidates for our combined April/May Player of the Month award: Patrick Thoresen, Jan Laco, Ilya Nikulin, Niklas Svedberg, Jakob Silfverberg, Alexander Yeryomenko, Sven Felski and Jani Tuppurainen.

Once again it is time to name the European Player of the Month. Just like last year we choose to have a combined April/May vote. Only players of European clubs can win the award as the most outstanding player of the month(s).

It is up to you to decide the winner of these candidates in our Facebook vote.
