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

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Andorra
Aingeru Olabarrieta was marked 8.44 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.
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Getafe can pretend not to have heard.
“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Nico Ratti had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Valladolid people have started saying his name in the past tense.
The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 3 of them made by a Málaga player marked 7.67, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.
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. 8.44 across 2 matches for Andorra.
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Zaragoza people have started saying his name in the past tense.
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Cultural Leonesa have lost him in all but the paperwork.
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Vitesse had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.
1 assists across the month from a Stade Rennais player marked 8.43. Somebody has to open the door before anybody walks through it, and nobody in the league opened more.
2 in 1 for Burgos. 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 Álvaro Morata out in front — 6 goals in 5 games, and Leganés have the division's most feared finisher.

Yan Diomandé is the division's player of the month — 7.92
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 Cádiz man on 7.92 with 6 goal contributions.

Yan Diomandé is the month's best young player — 7.92
The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 7.92 over the month and 6 goal contributions, from a Cádiz player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.
The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 5 of them made by a Zaragoza player marked 8.63, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.
“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 Cádiz hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.
The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.
Marked 8.46 across it, 6 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Leganés have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.
7.47 across the month and 2 goal contributions from a Ceuta player everybody else in the division now has a file on. His price rose this month without anybody at his club lifting a finger.
“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 Córdoba, and it is not being withdrawn.
“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.
3 assists across the month from a Racing Santander player marked 8.22. Somebody has to open the door before anybody walks through it, and nobody in the league opened more.
“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Gijón heard it as anything else.
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Valladolid they have already started talking about him in the past tense.
3 in 4 for Valladolid. 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.

4 assists, 8.10, and a Deportivo La Coruña 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.
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. 8.14 across 4 matches for Deportivo La Coruña.
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Gijón is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
“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 Gijón hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.
4 in 4 for Deportivo La Coruña. 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.
Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 7 goals in 4 appearances for Racing Santander.

The deal that would have taken Alejandro Cantero to Sochi has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Huesca with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.
Yassir Zabiri averaged 9.23 over 4 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.
Everybody in the division was measured and a Zaragoza man came out on top: 8.30 across the month and 7 goal contributions. There is no serious case for anybody else.
