Everybody in the division was measured and a Young Violets man came out on top: 7.97 across the month and 0 goal contributions. There is no serious case for anybody else.
7.97 across the month and 0 goal contributions from a Young Violets player everybody else in the division now has a file on. His price rose this month without anybody at his club lifting a finger.
3 assists, 7.57, and a Austria Salzburg player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz has been clear about where Sebastian Dirnberger stands, which is more than many ever get.
3 goals in 3 games, and nobody else in the league close to it. Austria Lustenau have the man every defence in the division is planning around.

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Young Violets
Mikołaj Sawicki was marked 7.73 and had a hand in 3 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.
The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 2 of them made by a Young Violets player marked 7.73, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

Dion Kacuri is the division's best-marked player — 7.89
The chart that catches everybody a goal tally never will: the centre-half who was immense for four weekends, the holding midfielder nobody outside his own ground has heard of. 7.89 across 3 matches for Austria Lustenau.
2 goals in 3 appearances for Austria Klagenfurt, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Austria Lustenau has been clear about where Jack Lahne stands, which is more than many ever get.
Marked 7.55 across it, 4 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Austria Klagenfurt have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

The division's brightest kid this month plays for FC Liefering
Benedict Scharner was marked 7.22 and had a hand in 2 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at St. Pölten, and it is not being withdrawn.
The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 3 of them made by a Austria Klagenfurt player marked 8.01, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.
2 goals in 4 appearances for Austria Klagenfurt, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.

Fran Topić is the division's player of the month — 8.38
A club's paper reports this as one of its own being honoured. On this page it is what it actually is: a verdict on everybody who played, and it went to a Admira Wacker man on 8.38 with 5 goal contributions.
Matteo Kitz was marked 7.23 and had a hand in 1 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Young Violets, and it is not being withdrawn.
The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 3 of them made by a Amstetten player marked 7.63, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.
The offer from Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz for Bernhard Luxbacher was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Red Bull Salzburg moved on, Bernhard Unger reports back to First Vienna, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.
3 in 3 for Admira Wacker. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.
Marked 7.72 across it, 3 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Admira Wacker have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.
6.83 across the month and 0 goal contributions from a Amstetten player everybody else in the division now has a file on. His price rose this month without anybody at his club lifting a finger.
“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Benjamin Ožegović had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. First Vienna have lost him in all but the paperwork.
3 assists, 7.13, and a First Vienna player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Rapid Wien II can pretend not to have heard.
“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.
11 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Marcel Ecker has his answer from First Vienna; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
