FC 26 La Liga POTM October Predictions: Can Mbappe Make It Back-to-Back Wins?

Every month in EA Sports FC 26, the La Liga Player of the Month (POTM) award recognises the best player in Spain’s top division. The winner receives the award for being the best player in La Liga that particular month in real life and an upgraded special item in Ultimate Team, featuring improved stats and a unique design.

Now that the matches for October are finishing up, speculation on who could be awarded the next EA FC 26 La Liga POTM is ramping up, and FUT fans are pondering the options.

FC 26 La Liga POTM October Predictions

The race for the FC 26 October player of the month is shaping up to be competitive, with plenty of players delivering standout performances across the league. According to community predictions on FUTWIZ, Kylian Mbappe, who is now tearing it up for Real Madrid, sits on top of the rankings after another month of being directly involved in the scoring.

Unai Simon was impressive in goal for Athletic Club, keeping key clean sheets, and De Frutos has continued to provide a high-level attacking threat for Rayo Vallecano.

A strong midfield presence came in the form of Pablo Fornals, who has been fantastic for Real Betis, contributing both work-rate and creativity. Rounding out the list is Vargas and Riedel, with Vargas bringing width and flair for Sevilla, and Riedel providing calm defensive presence for Espanyol.

If community predictions are right, October’s La Liga POTM could offer one of the most balanced and exciting SBCs we have seen this season, combining star power and new promising players.

FC 26 La Liga POTM October Predictions Players

Currently, Mbappe appears to be the strong frontrunner to capture his second POTM award for October. His form with the goal has been explosive, as he was just included in the recent TOTW, and performances for Real Madrid have been completely dominant, marking him out as a standout candidate.

Unless there is some monumental shock, it appears Mbappe is destined to add another special card to his already expansive collection, as he would go on to be FC 26 La Liga POTM for consecutive months.

That said, for fans of a good underdog story, players like Unai Simon or even De Frutos could steal in and surprise during the final performance of the month, right before the voting closes. But for now, Mbappe has never felt so superb in La Liga, alive and in action in the real world and the FC 26 Ultimate Team.
