They look at who scored the most goals, who made the most important saves, or who helped their team win the most games.
Before they choose a winner, they pick a few finalists. These finalists are called nominees. Think of it like being picked for the final round of a fun contest. All of these players were amazing in August, but only one can win the prize.

Let's meet the amazing players who are in the running!
The Nominees!
Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
This guy is like a video game character who has all the cheats on. He is super tall and unbelievably fast. In August, he just kept scoring goals! It was like he couldn't stop. The other teams' defenders tried everything, but Haaland just ran right past them or kicked the ball into the net. He is a goal machine, and that's why he is a nominee.

Riccardo Calafiore (Arsenal)
Riccardo plays for Arsenal, and he is a defender. Defenders are the players who protect the goal and try to stop the other team from scoring. But Calafiore did something extra special. He didn't just stop goals; he also helped his team score them! He would run with the ball all the way up the field and pass it to his friends so they could score. It's not every day a defender gets nominated for this award!
Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool)
Hugo is a new player for the Liverpool team, and he is starting his season with a big bang! He has so much energy and is really tricky with the ball. He made a huge impact in August, and he's not afraid to try new things on the field. He's showing everyone that he's a player to watch out for.
Jack Grealish (Everton)
Imagine a magician who uses his feet instead of his hands. That's Jack Grealish. He's so good at dribbling the ball that it looks like it's glued to his feet. In August, he was running all over the field, passing the ball to his teammates and creating chances to score goals. He always looks like he's having a blast while playing, and his skills are truly amazing to see.
Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace)
Marc is another fantastic defender. He's like a big, strong wall in front of his team's goal. He is great at tackling and at stopping the other team's attackers from getting a shot off. Because of him, the other teams found it really hard to score goals against Crystal Palace. He proved that you don't always have to score goals to be one of the best players.

Joao Pedro (Chelsea)
Joao Pedro is a forward for the Chelsea team. Forwards are the players whose main job is to score goals. And in August, Joao Pedro did his job perfectly! He scored some very important goals for his team that helped them win some tough games. He is a very smart player who always finds a way to get the ball into the net.
Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)
Antoine is a player for Bournemouth, and his superpower is also speed! He is incredibly fast and so hard to catch. When he gets the ball, he can run straight at the other team's goal. This makes him very difficult for defenders to deal with. He was a handful for every team he played against in August.
Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool)
Dominik plays for Liverpool and is a great midfielder. Midfielders are in the middle of the field and they are in charge of both helping the defense and helping the attack. Dominik is very good at passing the ball to his friends, and he has a super powerful kick! He can shoot from far away and score amazing goals.
So, those are the amazing nominees! It's a very tough choice. Who do you think was the best player in the Premier League in August? Do you think it should be the goal-scoring machine, the fast runner, or the strong defender?
