Kenan Yildiz beats out competition, is the player of the month in the big leagues

The EA SPORTS FC Player Of The Month award for August has been given to Juventus footballer Kenan Yildiz. The trophy will be presented during the pre-match of Juventus-Inter, scheduled for Saturday, September 13, 2025 at 6 p.m. at the “Allianz Stadium” in Turin.

The fans’ votes, combined with individual statistical data, decreed Kenan Yildiz as the winner, who surpassed the likes of Kristensen (Udinese), McTominay (Napoli), Nico Paz (Como), Soulè (Roma), Thuram (Inter).

The sextina had been selected taking into account Kama Sport’s evolved analysis, made from 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 analyze crucial aspects such as movement without the ball and thus optimal movements, game choices, and contribution to the team’s technical and physical efficiency, which allow for an objective and qualitative assessment of performance. For the final calculation, the days from 1st to 2nd of Serie A Enilive 2025/2026 were considered.

“The fans’ vote on the EA SPORTS FC platform awarded Kenan Yildiz as the first Player Of The Month of the season thanks to two outstanding performances by the Bianconeri fantasist – said Lega Calcio Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo. The two assists provided in the opening match against Parma immediately confirmed Yildiz’s technical qualities and class. Wearing the number 10 jersey of Juventus at just 20 years old represents not only a great responsibility, but also the Bianconeri club’s recognition of his charisma, maturity and extraordinary potential. Yildiz is now one of the symbols of the new generation of talents who know how to create soccer and excite fans not only of their own team.”
