Konopljanka started playing football at FC Olimpik Kirovohrad . Since 2007 he played for Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk and since the 2009/10 season he was a regular for the first team of Dnipro. In 2015 he reached the final of the UEFA Europa League with Dnipro , where he and his team failed at Sevilla FC . During the summer break of 2015, he moved to Sevilla FC on a free transfer. With the Spaniards he reached the Europa League final again and this time won the title.

In August 2016, FC Schalke 04 loaned him out for a year. The contract included a purchase obligation, combined with a transfer fee of 12.5 million euros and an extension of the contract until June 30, 2020. After the season in which Konopljanka made 17 appearances (one goal) in the Bundesliga , he criticized his coach Markus Weinzierl and called him a "coward". Konopljanka also said that Weinzierl would no longer remain the team's coach, otherwise the club would be relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga. In the following season 2017/18 he came under Weizierl's successor Domenico Tedesco to 27 Bundesliga and 3 cup appearances with a total of 6 goals and 5 assists. After Tedesco was replaced during the season by Huub Stevens , he no longer played an essential role. After the end of the season, FC Schalke 04 announced that they wanted to part with Konopljanka as well as Nabil Bentaleb and Hamza Mendyl , who had been released as troublemakers , Konopljanka did not complete the preparation for the 2019/20 season.

On September 2, 2019, his move to Shakhtar Donetsk became known.

In 2010 he was voted Ukrainian Footballer of the Year . National coach Oleh Blochin called him into the squad for the 2012 European Football Championship . Konopljanka was used in all three group games of the Ukrainian team at the European Championship.

He played his 50th international match on November 14, 2015 in the first relegation match against Slovenia, where he wore the captain's armband for the first time. After the second leg, Ukraine qualified for the 2016 European Football Championship in France, where Konopljanka was again in Ukraine's squad .
