FIFA 22 recently released the Player of the Month (POTM) card for David de Gea, as he emerged as the best player in the Premier League for the month of January, and the first goalkeeper since 2016 to win the PL's POTM award.
David de Gea has been Manchester United's last line of defense since his arrival at the club in 2011. The veteran goalkeeper followed up his years of consistent performances with an incredible streak of matches in the month of January 2022.
In their 4 Premier League outings in January, Manchester United emerged with 2 victories and a draw. De Gea was instrumental in the team's performance in all 4 matches. While the outfield players had trouble finding the net, De Gea's last-gasp stops led to the team's successes as he denied the opposition a few crucial game-changing opportunities.
In January, De Gea added 22 saves to his tally of 84, as he leads the Premier League as their best shot-stopper. FIFA 22 Ultimate Team players can redeem his Player of the Month variant by completing the set of tasks listed below.

Review of the David de Gea POTM card in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team
Compared to his 84-rated base card, David De Gea experienced moderate gains in stats on his POTM variant. His most impressive attributes are his 90-reflex and 89-diving, followed by an 85 in positioning and 84 in handling.
After spending over a decade in top-tier football, De Gea is a veteran of the sport with highly polished shot-stopping skills. However, the aging goalkeeper may be lacking in terms of kicking power and speed. Nevertheless, FIFA 22 players can make the most out of this SBC as they can avail a 87-rated POTM card for an affordable cost.
