Former Blues back Isa Nacewa is one of four Leinster players included after the Irish club went through pool play unbeaten in the Champions Cup, while Victor Vito is again included for his efforts with French club La Rochelle.
Players from eight different clubs and all three European leagues are among the 15 nominees.
Last year's winner, Owen Farrell of Saracens, is included once again.
The list will be reduced to five players in April following the Champions Cup semi-finals by a combination of the public vote and the verdict of the panel of judges.
