Procedure of the election
First, six monthly winners will be determined. For this purpose, four players per month are nominated to take part in the voting. Due to only two gamedays in September 2020, the first two months have been combined into one election. The six monthly winners will then compete in April 2021 for the title of "Eisner Auto Young Star of the 2020/21 season".

The election consists of three components: in addition to the fan voting on the league homepage, the Puls24 and Sky experts, as well as the national team coaches of the countries participating in the ICE will also cast their votes. If two or more players receive the same number of votes, they will be ranked according to the result of the fan vote.
