However the final act of this remarkable season plays out, it has been such a memorable campaign that, for the first time, we couldn’t restrict the shortlist of heroes to five.
So your choice will be just as difficult as ours when online voting opens on Monday 16 April, with six nominated Blues heroes all worthy of gracing that awards night stage.
They are ... Joe Hart, Micah Richards, Vincent Kompany, Yaya Toure, David Silva, and Sergio Aguero - a parade of international talent that has done the Club proud this season.
Not only can you make your vote count from Monday, but you can also be there at the Etihad Stadium to see the prizes given out on the Club’s most prestigious night of the year.
Roberto Mancini and his entire first-team squad will be there for a VIP black tie event that will look back on the heroes, goals and highlights of the 2011/12 season, culminating in the Etihad Player of the Year Award in association with MCFC Supporters Club.
Various packages are available for this blue-carpet annual event with prices starting at just £150 per person plus VAT.
The Awards dinner will begin at 7pm on Thursday 3 May and tickets are already being snapped up.
If you’d like an evening rubbing shoulders and dining with your heroes, call our Conference and Events Team on 0161 444 4141 (option 1) or email events@mcfc.co.uk.
