Foden and Gakpo Lead the Race
Both Phil Foden and Cody Gakpo have dominated headlines with their exceptional form this month.
- Foden has been Manchester City’s main creative spark, scoring and assisting at crucial times. With City fighting to regain consistency, his performances have been a key factor in their resurgence. He already has a Thunderstruck item and a TOTY Honorable Mentions SBC in Ultimate Team, and a POTM upgrade would make him even stronger.
- Gakpo has been one of Liverpool’s top performers, helping them maintain their position at the top of the table. His Winter Wildcards SBC card has already impressed players in Ultimate Team. If he wins POTM, his new SBC item could be a must-have for many squads.
With both players being fan favorites, their POTM voting numbers could be massive.
Strong Competition from Other Nominees
However, Foden and Gakpo won’t have it easy. The other nominees have also delivered outstanding performances.

- Justin Kluivert has been crucial for Bournemouth, helping them climb the table. He already has two TOTW items, and a POTM SBC card could make him even more usable in Ultimate Team.
- Bryan Mbeumo and Mateta have both been in fine form, proving to be key players for their clubs.
With so many strong candidates, the final results could go either way. Since POTM SBCs require squad-building challenges, choosing the right winner is crucial for Ultimate Team fans. The January EAFC 25 Premier League POTM race is stacked with talent. Foden and Gakpo are the clear favorites, but Isak, Kluivert, and others could pull off a surprise win.
