3 goals in 2 games, and nobody else in the league close to it. Atalanta have the man every defence in the division is planning around.

Kenan Yıldız is the month's best young player — 7.53
The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 7.53 over the month and 1 goal contributions, from a Juventus player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.

Nikola Krstović is the division's best-marked player — 8.22
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. 8.22 across 2 matches for Atalanta.

Victor Osimhen is right behind him
2 goals in 2 appearances for Napoli, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.

Still scoring: Jens Odgaard
1 in 2 for Bologna. 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 productive month at AS Roma — 1 goals from 2 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

Riccardo Orsolini is right behind him
3 goals in 2 appearances for Bologna, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.
