Everybody in the division was measured and a Bragantino man came out on top: 7.72 across the month and 4 goal contributions. There is no serious case for anybody else.

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Santos
João Pedro was marked 6.83 and had a hand in 0 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 The request is on a desk at São Paulo, and it is not being withdrawn.

Yuri Alberto leads the division for assists — 7.72
The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 3 of them made by a Bragantino player marked 7.72, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Bragantino is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Atlético Mineiro heard it as anything else.
“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. John Kennedy will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Corinthians the goodbyes have quietly begun.
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Leixões had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.
The deal that would have taken Benjamín Rollheiser to Newcastle United has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Santos with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Colo-Colo had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Cruzeiro people have started saying his name in the past tense.
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Internacional can pretend not to have heard.
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Flamengo people have started saying his name in the past tense.
“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Marcelo Benevenuto had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Flamengo can pretend not to have heard.
The offer from Lanús for Samuel Lino 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.
2 assists, 7.89, and a America Mineiro 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.
8.30 for a Botafogo player whose contribution is measured entirely in other people's celebrations. The providers' chart is the one nobody frames and everybody in a dressing room reads.
Everybody in the division was measured and a Santos man came out on top: 7.70 across the month and 4 goal contributions. There is no serious case for anybody else.

Kauã Elias is the month's best young player — 7.90
The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 7.90 over the month and 2 goal contributions, from a Botafogo player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.
“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 Santos, and it is not being withdrawn.
3 assists, 7.70, and a Santos 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.
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Agustín Sant'Anna will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Bragantino the goodbyes have quietly begun.
“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Palmeiras heard it as anything else.
3 in 3 for Santos. 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.
The month closes with Carlos Vinícius out in front — 3 goals in 5 games, and Grêmio have the division's most feared finisher.

Highest marks in the league belong to a Grêmio man
Carlos Vinícius averaged 7.73 over 5 appearances. Nothing about that will trend, and anybody who watched all four games would tell you it was the most accurate thing on this page.
“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Palmeiras heard it as anything else.
2 in 5 for Cruzeiro. 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.

Eric Ramires averaged 8.22 over 3 appearances. Nothing about that will trend, and anybody who watched all four games would tell you it was the most accurate thing on this page.
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Palmeiras hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.
2 in 2 for Palmeiras. 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.
3 in 3 for Vasco da Gama. 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 7.99 across it, 7 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Palmeiras have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

4 in 6 for Atlético Mineiro. 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.
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 America Mineiro man on 8.35 with 8 goal contributions.
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Grêmio have lost him in all but the paperwork.
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Juventude had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.
7.16 across the month and 2 goal contributions from a Corinthians player everybody else in the division now has a file on. His price rose this month without anybody at his club lifting a finger.

9.38 on average across 2 matches for Bragantino. The chart that notices the players a goal tally never does, and this month it noticed him.

Samuel Lino is the division's best-marked player — 8.19
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. 8.19 across 4 matches for Flamengo.
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Palmeiras hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.
