FIFA 22 Ligue 1 POTM: Overpowered French strikers lead May contenders yet again

The Team of the Season (TOTS) campaign continues in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, with the Ligue 1 TOTS set to take centre stage soon.

Another French league special card will be added to the FUT 22 mix, with May's Ligue 1 Player of the Month (POTM) set to be revealed in the coming days.

As ever, the winner will receive a juiced up card in FUT 22 with boosted ratings, and you can unlock the item for your club by completing the Squad Building Challenges that accompany it.

Take a look at which players are in contention for the May Player of the Month and keep up to date with all the latest news right here.

Release Date

The Ligue 1 season has come to an end and there are no more matches to be played in May, so we will likely see an official shortlist revealed soon.

The current Benjamin Bourigeaud April Player of the Month SBC expires on Wednesday, 15 June, so there will be a bit of a wait for another Liguue 1 POTM SBC to go live.

Wednesday, 8 June is the absolute earliest we could see the new SBC come, but it will likely arrive a bit later than that as EA needs to allow time for votes.

Andy Delort

Algerian forward Andy Delort leads the way for Ligue 1 goal contributions in May, with six goals and one assist in four apperances.

Delort helped his side, Nice, to three wins from four matches in May and the striker seems to be the front runner for the POTM award this time around.

Moussa Dembele

Moussa Dembele's Lyon also managed to win three matches from four in the month of May and the French striker played a key role in their success.

Dembele netted five times in just four matches, whilst also registering one assist during the last month of the league campaign.

Wissam Ben Yedder

Ultimate Team fan favourite Wissam Ben Yedder could be about to pick up his second Player of the Month award of the season.

The AS Monaco striker registered five goals and one assist as his team picked up three wins out of four in the French Ligue 1 in May.

Kylian Mbappe

It wouldn't be a Ligue 1 Player of the Month contenders list without mentioning Kylian Mbappe's name would it?!

The world-class striker netted another four goals and picked up two assists in May, taking his tally to 28 goals and 19 assists for the 2021/22 league campaign.

Florian Tardieu

Florian Tardieu was in fine goal-scoring form in May, scoring three goals in just four matches from the central-midfield position!

Unfortunately, ES Troyes AC only managed to win one match during this period which will hinder his chances of claiming the POTM award.
