EA Sports has announced that Marcus Rashford is September’s Player of the Month for FIFA 23, beating out top-rated player Kevin De Bruyne.
While Player of the Month is decided entirely via fan vote, Rashford had a great September and is well-deserving of the title.
He has won man of the match twice this season – once in the team’s 2 – 1 win against Liverpool, and again in their 3 – 1 win against Arsenal.
His Arsenal game was one of his strongest matches to date, not only scoring two of the three goals but assisting in the last.
Rashford has also proven himself to be a man of the people, taking the government to task over free school meals.
Originally, Rashford had an overall rating of 82, which was downgraded to 81 this month.
This makes the Player of the Month card even stronger with a three-point boost.
Here are Rashford’s base stats compared to his Player of the Month card:
