FIFA 23’s Player of the Month for October is open now — and Haaland is back again

THE voting for FIFA 23’s October Player of the Month is now open and August’s winner is back in the running.

September’s Player of the Month Vote was won by Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, who won Man of the Match twice this season.

This means that Rashford received a special Player of the Month FIFA Ultimate Team card for FIFA 23 with boosted stats to reflect his win. 

These special cards are much like the special Team of the Week cards, the first of which are available now via the FIFA 23 web and mobile companion apps.

Here are the eight players you can vote for October’s Player of the Month:

Miguel Almirón – Newcastle United

Almirón is not the highest-rated player at 78, but he’s had a strong month in the Premier League.

He’s scored six goals this season and won Man of the Match in Newcastle’s 4-1 win against Fulham.

Kevin De Bruyne – Manchester City

It’s hard to deny De Bruyne’s strength as a player, with a 91-rating he’s the Premier League’s best player.

The Man City midfielder has won man of the match four times this season, including two last month alone.

Bruno Guimarães – Newcastle United

The second Newcastle player available this month, he’s a strong player with an 82-rating.

He won Man of the Match last month, scoring two goals against Brentford in Newcastle’s 5-1 win.

Erling Haaland – Manchester City

Haaland’s strength is undeniable and his usual 88-rated card shows that.

He deservedly earned Man of the Match with three goals and two assists in a 6-3 win against Man Utd.

Kepa Arrizabalaga – Chelsea

The only goalkeeper this month, Chelsea’s Kepa usually has an 81-rating.

He won Man of the Match last month in a 2-0 win over an aggressive Aston Villa.

Kieran Trippier – Newcastle United

Rounding out Newcastle’s hat trick this month, Trippier is a powerful 84-rate defender.

He won Man of the Match an incredible three times last month, and even helped with two assists despite his position.

Leandro Trossard – Brighton & Hove Albion

Trossard is an underrated player in FIFA 23, with a moderately impressive 79-rating.

The man is greater than his number, winning Man of the Match twice in October, scoring three goals in a draw against Liverpool, and one in a 4-1 win against Chelsea.

Granit Xhaka – Arsenal

Another 79-rated player, Xhaka has played above average this season.

He won Man of the Match scoring Arsenal’s only goal in a one-all draw against Southampton.
