Man City striker Sergio Aguero has been named the EA Sports Player of the Month for January with his new POTM card now available in FIFA 20.

As you can see he’s now got an OVR 92 rated card, up from 89, and he will become a favourite for players who have based their FIFA Ultimate Teams around Premier League players.
With +6 to his pace, +3 to his shooting and +4 to his dribbling - there will be a lot more hattricks for those lucky enough to get him in their team.
Who will be the Bundesliga POTM?
With the Premier League POTM announced the next up is the Bundesliga POTM.
It's a shortlist dominated by FC Bayern & Borrusia Dortmund with five of the six players from the two German powerhouses. One player who must fancy his chances of taking home the award is Dortmund's Erling Haaland. The Norwegian striker was signed from Red Bull Salzburg in the winter transfer window and has since scored 7 goals in 3 games, including a hat-trick on his debut after coming on in the 53' minute in a 5-3 win.
Fans of the German league can cast their vote for the Bundesliga POTM on the EA Sports website.
