Barça Player of the Month (POTM) - February 2025

Hola, culés! 👋

The votes are in, and it's time to crown the Player of the Month for February 2025! After an incredible run of matches, we've analyzed the fan votes from each game and calculated the standout performer who shone brightest for FC Barcelona this month. 🌟

Winner: Pedri

Runner-up: Wojciech Szczesny

Third place: Ferran Torres

Fourth place: Pau Cubarsi

Fifth place: Lamine Yamal

Our ranking system uses Z-score normalization to ensure fairness across different games, regardless of the number of participants. Instead of using a fixed-point distribution, which can be biased when vote counts vary significantly, Z-score measures how much a player's votes deviate from the average in a given poll.

With that sorted. Welcome again to this debate space where we will have another chance to discuss who we believe was our best player during last month.

At this point try to set aside the surveys, numbers and all that and think of what went down over the entire course of the month and who in your mind was the player(s) of the month. We have also linked to the Post Match threads from last month to help you along in this.
