The other nominations in addition to Boniface and Grimaldo are Leroy Sané, Harry Kane (both Bayern Munich), Chris Führich and Serhou Guirassy (both VfB Stuttgart). The final result is made up as follows: 40% of the weighting comes from fans votes plus 30% each for the 18 team captains and a panel of pundits.
Boniface scored two braces and provided an assist in the Bundesliga matches in September, left-back Grimaldo scored twice from free kicks in September and also laid on two assists.
