Bundesliga Player of the Month

The winner of October Player of the Month in the Bundesliga is Christopher Nkunku, and his SBC is live in Ultimate Team now. Here’s how you can get your hands on him.

Ultimate Team prides itself on the way it is influenced by real-world football, and FIFA 22 is no different.

Nowhere is this clearer than in the special cards that consistently roll out, such as the Team of the Week and ICONS.

Player of the Month cards give extensive upgrades to the best performer in a specific league, and the October winner for the Bundesliga is out now.

Nkunku stats FIFA 22

There are four SBCs to submit in order to earn POTM of Nkunku, making him far more expensive than last month’s Wirtz.

His stats are nice and all-round for a midfield player, and he could easily try his hand at CAM or CM depending on your squad.

According to FUTBIN, the total price to complete Nkunku is clocking in at around 230,000 coins if you have to buy every player.
