>>> Head here to vote for Player of the Month!
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 main factor for considering a matchday is the month in which its Saturday falls. This time the data refers to Matchdays 6-8.
Alejandro Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen)
Grimaldo continues to perform well for Leverkusen, making him the only player to earn a second nomination in successive POTM awards in the new season. In October, the Spain international scored his second brace of the season in a highly entertaining 4-3 win at Mainz on Matchday 7. A week later, he added an assist in the 2-0 win against Freiburg – a game in which he wore the captain's armband for the third time this season.
Grimaldo's three goal involvements last month are the joint-best for the Werkself, and earned him official Man of the Match wins at both Mainz and against Freiburg. The left-sided player also recorded assists in the UEFA Champions League and on international duty for Spain in October.
