FIFA 23 partners with the French Ligue 1 each month to bring you a brand-new POTM SBC item in Ultimate Team.

Fans can have their say each time around by voting for their favourite nominee from the select shortlist of Ligue 1 players.

Every month, the chosen winner receives a new special item in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team with massively boosted attributes, and Ligue 1 usually produces the very best!

Ligue 1 POTM April Winner Revealed

Belgian striker Lois Openda has made it two in a row after being announced as the Ligue 1 POTM winner for April!

He beat fellow candidates Alexis Sanchez and Grejohn Kyei to the award, scoring three and providing one assist in four matches.

We expect to see his SBC drop in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team soon with an 89 OVR, as there is currently not a live Ligue 1 POTM SBC in the game.

However, there may be some delay as Openda recently gained a FUT Champions TOTS upgrade via the Ligue 1 TOTS FUT Champions Finals Objectives.

Previous Winners

Throughout the season the following players have won the Ligue 1 POTM award:

August - Neymar Jr

An astonishing 13 goal involvements in five matches was predictably enough to see Neymar win the August Player of the Month award.

No SBC was released as FIFA 23 was not yet available.

September - Lionel Messi (OVR 92)

Two goals and two assists in three league appearances whilst PSG won all their matches during September saw Lionel Mesi pick up the award.

An insane 92 OVR SBC item followed, with 95 Dribbling and 91 Passing and 90 Shooting.

October - Martin Terrier (OVR 87)

French winger Martin Terrier prevented Lionel Messi from picking up back-to-back POTM awards after he scored five goals and assisted two in October.

Terrier was rewarded with an 87 OVR item priced at just 20,000 coins.

November/December - Kylian Mbappe (OVR 92)

Due to the lack of domestic games played around the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the top-performing player from France in the months of November and December was picked for the POTM award.

That man was the FUT beast that is Kylian Mbappe. The PSG star was handed an incredible 92 OVR card that possesses 98 Pace, 93 Dribbling and 90 Shooting, priced at a whopping 1.9 million coins.

January - Wissam Ben Yedder (OVR 89)

Wissam Ben Yedder netted more than one goal per game in January, with four goals to his name in three league appearances whilst his team went unbeaten throughout the month too.

The AS Monaco striker was rewarded with an 89 OVR January POTM item with 93 Dribbling, 89 Shooting and 87 Pace along with a five-star weak foot and four-star skill moves.

February - Kylian Mbappe (OVR 93)

Kylian Mbappe claimed his second Player of the Month item of the season, managing to register four goals and one assist in about 200 minutes of playtime!

It is of course one of the best cards in the game, however, it came at a price, with an astonishing cost of around 4.85 million coins.

March - Lois Openda (OVR 88)

Rapid forward Lois Openda claimed March's Ligue 1 POTM award after scoring five and assisting one in three matches.

Already with maximum pace, a Marksman chemistry style gives him the stats of a 95-rated striker, with 94 SHO, 94 DRI and 94 PHY, making him a right handful!
