The Serie A Player of the Month, officially known as the EA Sports FC Player of the Month for sponsorship reasons, [1] is an association football award that recognises the best player each month in Serie A, the top tier of the Italian football league system. The winner is chosen by an online public vote, in which voters choose from five nominees. [2] The nominees are chosen through analysis by data tracking software, which consider statistical data, positional data and the contribution to the technical and physical efficiency of the team.
