The Player of the Month nominees are being handed out again, with Squad Building Challenges set to follow in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
The official shortlist of three Ligue 1 players who put in outstanding performances throughout February has now been announced, with the winner set to gain a boosted card via SBC in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
Take a look below at which players have been nominated for the Ligue 1 Player of the Month award this time around and what their POTM cards could look like in FUT 23 below.
Official Nominees Revealed
Once again there are just three players to vote for in Ligue 1's Player of the Month award.
Kylian Mbappe makes the cut once again and the prospect of being able to get an upgraded version of his card via SBC (again) will make the Ultimate Team community extremely happy!
The following players have been nominated for Ligue 1's February Player of the Month award:
- Folarin Balogun
- Kylian Mbappe
- Jean-Clair Todibo
Make sure to have your say by voting for your favourite nominee via this link.
Folarin Balogun (OVR 86)
Arsenal may have injury issues with their strikers at home, but one of their loan players is having no such issues, with Folarin Balogun tearing up Ligue 1.
The Englishman added four more goals to his tally for the season in February, with Stade Reims going unbeaten in the month.
Something that could count against Balogun is that three of those goals came in one game, but they did prove vital for a 4-2 victory.
Despite bagging a hat trick, Balogun hasn't gained an in-form card in Ultimate Team, which means his 67 OVR could see a massive increase should he claim the POTM award!
We've predicted a +4 in-form upgrade to give him an 86 OVR, as an 84 OVR card just wouldn't cut it at this point in the campaign.
Kylian Mbappe (OVR 93)
It wouldn't be a Ligue 1 POTM nominees list without Kylian Mbappe, who didn't even play in two of the five matches due to injury.
February didn't start great for the Frenchman, missing a penalty and then being taken off injured in the first 20 minutes against Montpellier.
He came back firing though, with a brace against Lille securing a 4-3 victory, then bagging another two goals and an assist against second-place Marseille to dent their hopes of a title challenge.
Mbappe has already had one POTM SBC in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, winning the award for November/December, and those that regret not completing that one could be handed a lifeline were he to win again!
Jean-Clair Todibo (OVR 86)
Jean-Clair Todibo had a reckless start to the season, getting two red card suspensions in the opening nine matches, but since then he has been a mainstay in the Nice defence.
The centre-back helped his side keep four clean sheets in five games, only conceding once in February and amassing 13 points to climb up the table.
He is probably the player FUT fans least want to see pick up the award, but if EA decided to give him a bigger POTM upgrade than usual he could be a very tidy addition to your squad!
