The EA Sports FC Player Of The Month award for December was awarded to AC Milan’s Christian Pulisic, and he will be given a trophy before Sunday’s game.
Serie A’s official account confirmed the news and also added that card is now available in the Ultimate Team mode of EA SPORTS FC™ 24. The winger will get a trophy, which will be awarded before the game against Roma.
Pulisic was the most voted for by the fans, beating the likes of Luca Gatti (Juventus), Albert Guðmundsson (Genoa), Romelu Lukaku (Roma), Marcus Thuram (Inter) and Joshua Zirkzee (Bologna).
The six players were initially chosen by Stats Perform, starting from the tracking data recorded with the Hawk-Eye system, which considers statistical data and technical events but also positional data.
On a pure statistical level, Pulisic had two goals and two assists in five league games during the month of December, including the winner against Sassuolo in the last game of the year.
Lega Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo: “The impact of the captain of the USA national team, Christian Pulisic, on the Italian league was immediately on par with his talent.
“Never banal plays combined with concreteness, personality, vision of the game and spirit of sacrifice have made him fundamental in Milan’s tactical chessboard which, also thanks to the two goals and two assists scored in the month of December by the American playmaker, remains permanently in the zone Champions of the ranking.”

An 87 rated card in January? Come on EA lol 😂. Haven’t played FUT in a while and maybe they’ve changed things but that’s a terrible card especially with TOTYs out
Well he can’t have over 87 in any universe…
😂😂😂
“Beating the likes of”, you did not really have to use the word “the likes of” there because Gatti, Gudmundsson, Lukaku, Thuram and Zirkee play in different positions than Pulisic. You would use “the likes of” if you were strictly comparing Pulisic to other RW. Just say “beating Gatti, Gudmundsson, Lukaku” so on and so forth. Hope this helps.
No, You are totally wrong. Position has nothing to do with it. These are the other players that he was competing against for the award. “the likes of” refers to his competition, it’s not a positional award.
A RT flank that works and contributes when the left flank steps off the gas. Gotta love it. One would hope to see both flanks firing at the same time.
Puli definitely deserves the praise. Without his clutch contributions we would be in much worse shape.
