The K League Round Best 11 and MVP are selected through quantitative and qualitative evaluations by the Technical Research Group (TSG) under the Korea Professional Football League's Technical Committee. TSG members assigned to each K League match in every round select the Best 11 and MOM (Man of the Match) for that specific game. Subsequently, a TSG match evaluation meeting is held to finalize the K League 1 and K League 2 Round Best 11 byly evaluating the TSG member scores and opinions, as well as the official supplementary data provider 'Vipro' ratings for players selected in each match's Best 11. The Round MVP is determined using the same method as the Best 11, with candidates drawn from the MOMs of each game.
