POTM Ben Yedder Stats
Ben Yedder has been upgraded to an 88 OVR for his appearance as the Ligue 1 POTM, four ratings higher than his 84-rated base card.
Dribbling (91 OVR) is the standout pick for Ben Yedder as far as his base statistics are concerned, although 89-rated shooting and 88-rated pace follow closely behind.
Ben Yedder has some effective in-game trait too, none more so than the Outside Foot Shot, which will reap the rewards when through on goal. The Monaco favourite also has a 5* weak foot and 4* skills.

POTM Ben Yedder Review - Is It Worth It?
This is a tricky decision to make.
On the one hand, this is a very good card, one which is not too expensive and, if you've ever used Ben Yedder in FIFA before, you will know how good he is in-game, regardless of rating.
But on the other, you've got a Future Stars Amine Gouiri in the Objectives market that is not too dissimilar to this card and can be picked up without spending a penny.
If you've got a Ligue 1 team and you're looking to a two-man combination to play up top, then Ben Yedder and Gouiri look to be the perfect combination. Equally, if you're looking for a perfect link to build into a hybrid, then the two go hand in hand.
But if you're in need of just one man to lead the line in your Ligue 1 side, then we would recommend leaving this card, and instead working towards unlocking Gouiri.
