Boniface has been named by the fans alongside six other Leverkusen players on account of their heroics this season.
Leading the attack in the Team of the Season is England skipper Harry Kane, flanked by Victor Boniface and Serhou Guirassy on the left and right respectively.
For the midfield trio, Leverkusen have two representatives in Granit Xhaka and elite play-maker Florian Wirtz, with Jamal Musiala completing the trio.
For the defence line, Leverkusen’s Alex Grimaldo, Jeremie Frimpong and defender Tah were too good to be dropped, with Stuttgart’s Anton also making the cut.
Gregor Kobel of Borussia Dortmund is the goalkeeper.

Forwards: Victor Boniface, Harry Kane, Serhou Guirassy.
Midfielders: Granit Xhaka, Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala
