Donyell Malen EA SPORTS FC Player Of The Month for August-September

The EA SPORTS FC Player Of The Month award for August-September has been assigned to Roma player Donyell Malen. The trophy will be presented during the pre-match of Roma-Genoa scheduled for Saturday 17 October 2026 at 8.45 p.m at the “Olimpico” stadium in Rome.

The fans' votes online, combined with individual statistical data, determined Donyell Malen as the winner, beating champions like Frattesi (Lazio), Kvernadze (Frosinone), Maldini (Cagliari), L.Martinez (Inter), Rabiot (Milan).

The six best players of the month have been selected taking into account the advanced analysis of Kama Sport, created from the tracking data recorded with the Hawk-Eye system. The rating system considers not only statistical data and technical events, but also positional data. This makes it possible to analyse crucial aspects such as movement without the ball and thus optimal movements, game choices, and the contribution to the technical and physical efficiency of the team, which allow for an objective and qualitative evaluation of the performance.

For the final calculation were considered the matchdays from 1 to 5 of Serie A 2026/2027.

"In this early stage of the season, Donyell Malen has confirmed the extraordinary form he has shown since arriving in Serie A last January - said Luigi De Siervo, Chief Executive of Lega Calcio Serie A -. The six goals scored by the Dutchman in five matches have immediately launched him into the race for the top scorer’s title. His technical ability, pace and instinct in front of goal make Malen one of the best strikers around, a goal-scoring machine who fits perfectly into Gasperini’s Roma tactical system".
