Player of the Month awards are back in FIFA 21 with fans being able to vote on who they want to see receive a special card for their real-life performances. Here, you can find details on each nominee and winner throughout the season.

As FIFA Ultimate Team has evolved over the years, EA have incorporated more and more real-life performances into the game. Team of the Week is always a hotly debated topic each week, as are Team of the Year and Team of the Season when they roll around.

However, in recent season, they’ve also incorporated Player of the Month awards. These awards, again, come from the actual shortlist of their respective league and FIFA fans can vote on who they want to win. 

This results in the player receiving a special POTM card that is only attainable via a special Squad Building Challenge – or SBC, for short.
