The award consists of a two-stage process in which the performance data of the players and then the choice of the fans and experts are taken into account.

The determining factor for a matchday is the month in which its Saturday falls. September's vote covers Matchdays 2 to 4.

September winner

Michael Olise ( Bayern Munich)

Olise has set the standard in the Bundesliga this season and is attracting attention well beyond Germany. The Frenchman featured in all three of Bayern’s Bundesliga fixtures in September. The only game which he didn’t start was the 0-0 draw at FC Schalke 04. Bayern noticeably missed the genius, creativity and goal threat of “Mr. Nonchalant” as the Gelsenkirchen side sat deep and ultimately kept the champions at bay.

Olise was directly involved in four goals in September, scoring three and providing one assist. Only 1. FSV Mainz 05’s Sheraldo Becker had more goal contributions across the league, with two goals and three assists. Olise registered all four of his in Bayern’s 7-0 rout of 1. FC Union Berlin, scoring his first Bundesliga hat-trick. That night, the attacking maestro could probably have shot blindfolded and still found the net.

Olise attempted 12 shots in September, with only Harry Kane and Ibrahim Maza taking more (13 each). No Bayern player came close to matching his shooting efficiency, which stood at +1.6.
