The Frontrunners: Star Power vs. Underdog Stories
Napoli are currently at the top of the Serie A table, followed closely by reigning champions Inter, making their talismanic attackers natural frontrunners. But here’s where it gets interesting—Nuno Tavares, despite being a left-back, is currently the leading assist provider in the league and already received a boosted item via objectives during the Trailblazers promo.
If Thuram wins, expect another meta-defining striker card. The previous POTM SBCs for Marcus Thuram and Kvaratskhelia were well-received by gamers, with the former being one of the best value strikers in Ultimate Team. His pace, strength, and finishing combination could dominate Weekend League yet again.
Kvara’s dribbling, pace, and five-star skills make him a nightmare for defenders, while Retegui’s clinical finishing for Atalanta (6 goals, 3 assists in October) makes him a dark horse candidate who truly deserves recognition.
How to Vote for Serie A POTM
Voting is straightforward and completely free—you don’t even need to own EA FC 25! Head to the official EA Sports POTM voting page, select Serie A, review each nominee’s October statistics, and cast your vote.
Voting typically runs for 48 hours after nominees are announced, with winners revealed the following week. The POTM SBC usually drops on Tuesdays, featuring boosted stats and becoming available through Squad Building Challenges.
Why This POTM Matters for Ultimate Team
POTM cards often shake up the meta with upgraded stats that reflect real-world dominance. If you’re building a competitive Serie A hybrid squad, this SBC could provide the perfect centerpiece at reasonable cost compared to premium Icons.
The winner receives significant rating boosts across pace, shooting, dribbling, or defending depending on position—transforming already elite players into absolute game-changers. Given that this will undoubtedly be an extremely close race amongst the EA FC 25 Serie A POTM nominees, community voting could genuinely swing the result.
Smart Investment Tips
When POTM nominees drop, certain player cards spike in price due to SBC requirements. Historically, Serie A Team of the Week cards, Italian players rated 81+, and specific club cards become essential for completing challenges.
Stock up on 83-84 rated Serie A players before the winner announcement. If Thuram or Kvara wins (high-rated favorites), expect expensive SBCs requiring multiple segments with TOTW cards. Budget alternatives like Retegui might need simpler solutions.

The Verdict: Who Deserves It?
While Thuram and Kvaratskhelia bring star power and guaranteed SBC popularity, Nuno Tavares and Mateo Retegui definitely deserve the award as well. A left-back leading the entire league in assists is genuinely remarkable and worthy of recognition.
Ultimately, your vote matters. Whether you’re chasing meta dominance or want to reward genuine standout performances, head to EA’s voting page and make your voice heard before voting closes!
