Well, heβs come out of nowhere, hasnβt he? π
Hailing from India and playing his Plei App footy in DFW, Shivendra S has absolutely blown the competition out of the water. With an insane 43-game performance in February, he has earned his first-ever gold medal while also making his first Top 15 appearance, which is easily the best-ever debut performance by a Plei App player! π
We also canβt forget to mention another incredible statistic: Shivendraβs 43 games is officially the second-most played games in a single month by a Plei App user, only bested by none other than Michael Myers himself, Michael G. πͺ
If he continues this sort of form, we wouldnβt be surprised at all to see him rise to Michaelβs status in a few monthsβ time. π€·
Congrats, Shivendra! π₯³
The crazy statistics continue: we have a total of 11 players making their Top 15 debut in this leaderboard! The all-time record is 12, which we witnessed this past December. Is it a coincidence that we had so many players fall in love with the Plei App during February? We think not. π
Finding himself in second place is the second of these 11 debutants: Diego F! Playing 28 games, the Houston baller has not only earned himself a silver medal, but also a Pioneer badge for being the first player to represent Wallis & Futuna in the Top 15! πΌπ«
Amazing effort, Diego! π₯
For the next three spots, we take a brief break from highlighting our February debutants. In third place, itβs none other than Sergio S, one of our January co-champions! He couldnβt quite get the job done two months in a row, but he wonβt mind! The Venezuelan has comfortably earned himself a bronze medal with a new personal record of 26 games played. ππ₯
Sergio isnβt messing about in 2024. Expect to see more of him throughout the rest of the year. π
Following a strong 22-game performance to kick off the year that saw the American finish on the podium for the first time, Donald S is back! This time around, he finishes in fourth and has also managed to play one more game than he did in January to establish a new personal record of 23 games. The South Floridian is really looking to establish himself as a POTM regular this year. π
Melchior V makes his first leaderboard appearance of the year by finishing in fifth place! If you keep up with our POTM blogs, you may recognize Melchior as being a Plei App veteran; he joined way back in September 2018! Itβs always a pleasure to see the South Floridian make the Top 15 being one of our earliest users. ποΈ
He has finished on the podium in previous occasions but has never quite been able to take gold. Could he finally do it this year? We sure hope so! π€
From 6th place to 15th, all players (except for one) are making their Top 15 debuts! Congrats goes out to: Andy L (6th), IraIra S (7th), Luis S (8th), Izzatillo M (9th), Franky N (11th), Naol B (12th), Kebba S (13th), Jeff L (14th) & Manuel M (15th)! π
Thereβs really no better feeling than repping your country while playing the beautiful game. πππ
In particular, we wanted to highlight the following two players who have earned Pioneer badges this past month: Izzatillo from Uzbekistan and Kebba from Gambia. πΊπΏπ¬π²
A final Pioneer badge holder also made Februaryβs Top 15. Bennet A returns to make a third consecutive appearance since debuting this past December! The Ethiopian places 10th. πͺπΉ
Congrats, guys! π

We love to highlight the growing diversity of the Plei App community. A total of 47 different countries filled up our Top 100 in February, with 11 of those countries being represented in the Top 15. Overall, 112+ unique nationalities represented the entire Plei App this past month. The βBeautiful Gameβ in the flesh! β₯οΈ
We want to remind everyone that all players who make it into our monthly top 100 earn a free Plei App shirt! π
π¨REMINDER π¨: We no longer use one consistently updated link where you would all normally keep track of your leaderboard progress. Instead, a new link is provided each month. π
Here is the final list for the Top 15 players of February 2024!
As a reminder, here are the prizes for the Top 15 players (updated as of September 2022)!

Itβs pretty clear that Shivendraβs Valentine this past month was the Plei App and the beautiful game, as it should be. β½π₯°
βI love this game!β β Patrice Evra π«π·
He must really be feeling like the legendary French left back right about now. π
Will you climb to the top of the Plei App rankings in March? π€
