Marcus Rashford wins FIFA 23 Player of the Month for the third time

MARCUS Rashford is having a spectacular season and FIFA 23 fans agree.

It’s the third time that the Man Utd forward has won the Premier League Player of the Month (POTM) this year alone.

He won last month in January, and previously took the title in September.

November and December were grouped together because of the World Cup, meaning that Rashford has won half of all the votes.

Every time Rashford has won, the overall score for his POTM card has improved. 

The overall rating of his base card is just 81. In September this rose to 84, and 87 in January.

Rashford’s February card is a massive 88, his best rating ever.

February was a particularly strong month for the Man Utd player, as he was awarded Man of the Match twice.

The first was in a two-all draw against Leeds, and the second was in a 2-1 victory against Newcastle.

He also scored six goals in as many matches in February.

Rashford is unlikely to take the accolade again this month as Man Utd have already suffered a crushing 7-0 defeat against Liverpool.

However, as the only player to take POTM more than once this year, he is already part of FIFA 23 history.

Here are Rashford’s stats compared to his base card and how much they’ve improved.

• Overall – 81 / 88 (+7)
• Pacing – 87 / 93 (+6)
• Shooting – 82 / 88 (+6)
• Pacing – 75 / 84 (+9)
• Dribbling – 81 / 87 (+6)
• Defense – 41 / 49 (+8)
• Physical – 71 / 82 (+11)
