February’s Premier League Player of the Month has just been announced, with a certain Liverpool centre-back claiming the honour this month.
As per usual, the winner of the award has received a boosted card that you can bring to your club by completing their Squad Building Challenge in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.
Check out the new POTM card and how you can unlock it for your FUT 22 squad here.
Winner CONFIRMED
The official EA Sports FIFA Twitter account has now revealed the Premier League POTM winner for February...
Liverpool centre-back Joel Matip has claimed the Premier League's February Player of the Month award.
We're not saying it's underserved, but a centre-back with 63 PAC is as good as useless at this point in the game cycle.
He could turn out to be amazing to control in-game, but looking at those stats, we're not expecting much from him.
Joel Matip (OVR 86)
Start Date: Friday, 11 March
Expiry Date: Friday, 8 April
SBC Requirements
You'll only need to submit one squad in order to unlock the 86-rated POTM Matip card for your Ultimate Team.
The requirements are as follows:
- # of players from Premier League: Min 1
- Squad Rating: Min 83
- Team Chemistry: Min 75
- # of players in the Squad: 11
Solid Defense
Liverpool are unbeaten in the league this calendar year, only dropping points in a draw against Chelsea in the first game of January.
Their four wins in February has seen them put pressure on title leaders Manchester City, and they are now well in the race for the league.
A central figure in that time has been Joel Matip, who, with Virgil van Dijk, has made the Liverpool defence nearly impenetrable.
They conceded just one goal in February, with Matip popping up with a goal and an assist during the month too!
Worth it?
Matip's Player of the Month card does have some good attributes, with 88 defending, 84 physicality and 71 dribbling.
Unfortunately, a centre-back with 63 pace is simply not viable at this stage in the game cycle.
However, Joel Matip is VERY cheap to unlock, requiring just one 83-rated squad.
So, if you are a Liverpool fan or you are an Ultimate Team card collecter then this will be an easy card to pick up and store in the club.
