The selection process consists of two stages: first, the players' performance data is considered, and then the votes of fans and experts.

The determining factor for a Matchday is the month in which its Saturday falls. For March, the data referred to Matchdays 25 to 27.

March winner

Deniz Undav (VfB Stuttgart)

There was no ignoring Undav in March - not even for Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann. The VfB Stuttgart forward is currently the Bundesliga’s most in-form finisher, having scored in each of his last six matches, which represents a league-best run this season. Across the last three alone, he’s racked up four goals and six goal involvements, both the highest tallies in the league.

Between Matchdays 25 and 27, Undav led the Bundesliga for both shots (13) and overall involvement in shooting attempts (18), while remaining ruthlessly efficient. He converted four of his five clear-cut chances across those three games in March. The 29-year-old has been central to Stuttgart’s rise to third place, and right now, in the Bundesliga - just like in the national team - he has been simply impossible to overlook.
