The PotM informs are always amazing cards, the lowest rated one so was Leroy Sane’s 86 rated card for October.
However, he faces stiff competition from some of the best players in the league. Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard hit his stride in December and has scored some crucial goals to keep Manchester United in the top four.
Harry Kane, who has already received one POTM card this season, also ended the year in spectacular fashion. He scored hat-tricks two games in a row, leading to Kane breaking the record for the most Premier League goals in a calendar year.

There were also been some superb performances from defenders last month. Manchester City are comfortably sitting top of the table and while their incredible attacking players have been receiving all the headlines, Nicolas Otamendi has been superb at the back.
Man City have previously been rather poor when it comes to defending but Otamendi has stepped up in Vincent Kompany’s absence and helped Ederson claim 10 clean sheets already this season.
And no defenderin Europe’s top five leagues has scored more goals than Marcus Alonso this season. The Chelsea star is a constant threat going forward and has already bagged himself six goals this season – that’s more than Dele Alli, Sadio Mane, Javier Hernandez, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba
