Erling Haaland is undeniably a force on the football pitch, and he’s quickly becoming one in the virtual world of EA Sports FC 25. The Norwegian superstar’s Player of the Month (POTM) card was released in the popular squad-building challenge (SBC or DCE in French) format. Fans and players alike are eager to get their hands on this incredibly powerful card, but it comes at a cost. This exclusive article will guide you through Haaland’s POTM card and the steps required to add him to your Ultimate Team.
What Makes Haaland FC 25 POTM Card Stand Out?
Haaland’s base card in FC 25 is already one of the top-rated items in the game, but his Player of the Month version is even better. The POTM card has a +1 overall rating boost, bringing even more firepower to his already dangerous skill set. His speed, passing, dribbling, defending, and physicality all significantly upgrade to +1. However, the shooting stats get the biggest boost a whopping +2!
For FC 25 players, Haaland’s physicality and finishing ability make him a standout. While his speed isn’t his primary strength, his sheer power and clinical ability in front of goal set him apart from other strikers in the game. The new POTM version amplifies these qualities, ensuring that even in tight situations, Haaland will convert more opportunities into goals.
Just look at these incredible stats for his POTM card:
- 97 Positioning
- 97 Finishing
- 95 Shot Power
With such stats and no chemistry style applied yet, you can imagine the carnage Haaland can cause in the opponent’s penalty box. You won’t need many chances to score with him in your team.

Is Haaland FC 25 POTM SBC Worth Completing?
Now that you know the stats and the cost, the question remains: Is the Haaland POTM SBC worth the investment?
In terms of performance, this card is undoubtedly one of the best strikers available in FC 25. His presence in the penalty box and his near-perfect finishing and shot power make him a nightmare for defenders. His 97 positioning means he’ll always be in the right place to finish off attacking plays, and his physicality (combined with 95 strength and 94 aggression) ensures that he can easily hold off defenders.
However, the issue lies in the cost. At over 600,000 coins, this is an SBC that requires a huge amount of resources. If you’re a free-to-play player, completing this SBC might be out of reach unless you already have a stockpile of high-rated players (fodder) sitting in your club. Even then, the price is steep, and you’ll need to consider whether you want to invest this heavily into one player early in the game cycle.
That said, EA Sports FC 25 typically offers 28 days to complete the Player of the Month SBCs, so if you’re determined to unlock Haaland, you’ll have almost a full month to gather the necessary resources. Remember, though, that you’ll need to complete two separate SBCs to earn him—one for each part of the challenge.
Final Thoughts: Should You Pursue Haaland FC 25 POTM Card?
Haaland’s POTM card in FC 25 is a phenomenal upgrade, and there’s no doubt he’ll be a game-changer for any team lucky enough to unlock him. With top-tier shooting, physicality, and positioning, Haaland offers a lethal combination that few defenders can handle.
However, for most players, especially free-to-play players, there may be better investments than this SBC. The coin cost is astronomical, and unless you have a well-stocked club with plenty of high-rated players to trade in, you may find it difficult to justify spending so much on a single card.
In conclusion, if you’re a huge fan of Haaland or have the resources to spare, completing his POTM SBC will give you one of the most dominant strikers in the game. But for those on a budget, you may want to hold off and focus on building a more well-rounded team before committing to such a significant expense.
