Congrats to these players and the many others that put in work every month in our growing regions! We see you! 🥳
Aside from it being the beginning of the holiday season, November turned out to be quite the special month. We’ll explain why. 🍁
For starters, we have a record number of debutants in our Top 15 this month! 10 players have made the leaderboard for the very first time, which we absolutely love to see. As usual, we’ll be mentioning each of these ballers, as well as highlighting a few of them. 🙌
We’ll get to that momentarily, though. But first, we have to start with our brand-new champion. Yes, we said brand new. No Ty or Michael this time around - but we fully expect them to be back in no time. 😅
This particular player actually managed to secure second place last month following a 32-game performance, and what’s more is that it was his Top 15 debut! He’s now gone and took first place just a month later, a feat that reminds us of when Ty broke onto the scene back in April. 🔙
We could only be talking about none other than Chadian baller Salman D! 🥇 With his 35 games played in November, he has fully earned his gold medal, as well as his 3 free Plei App dry fits to wear at the games plus 3 free game credits. Could he be a threat to the throne shared by Michael and Ty? Only time will tell. ⏳
Congrats, Salman! 🥳
Moving on to second place, we have our first of 10 debutants. Emil T from Dallas has locked into second place with a strong 25-game performance! He’s still fairly new to the Plei App, having joined only in July, which tells us that he’s been very much enjoying pickup soccer out in Texas so far! 🥈
It’s becoming a bit of a trend, so we challenge Emil to try and repeat in December what Salman just did. Is he up for it? We’ll find out in January. 👀
Jose F makes a second consecutive Top 15 appearance! If you’ve been keeping up with our POTM blogs throughout 2023, you’ll know that this Houston baller has made numerous appearances this year since debuting in January, bringing his total up to six. Repping Mexico and Ronaldo, Jose played 24 times in November to finish in 3rd place, a position he’s actually never seen before until now! He’s finished in second before, but never first or third. 👀
We’re fully confident that he’ll see gold one day. It would be a beautiful ending to a fantastic 2023 for him. 🔥
Making his debut at fourth is another Mexican maestro. This time we have Gustavo P, who plays out in Texas as well, but over in Dallas instead. A 23-game performance puts him just one short of tying for bronze, but enough to separate himself from a Plei App veteran in 4th. Congrats, Gustavo! 👊
That Plei App veteran we’re referring to is Sergio S, who has managed to play 22 games in November. He’s on a 4-month streak right now! This placement also marks an incredible eigth appearance in our Top 15 in 2023, after only debuting in February. Don’t let that fool you, though. Sergio has been using the Plei App for over four years now, having joined in September of 2019. This guy knows how to ball out. 😎
Our third player making his debut this month is Robert B, who finishes in 6th place with 22 games played. Interestingly enough, the South Floridian is actually a bit of a veteran himself, having joined back in June 2021. We’re glad to see that he’s taking advantage of the Plei App as of late! 😁
Andres R makes his return to the Top 15! The Peruvian first debuted back in July following a 20-game performance that saw him finish in 9th. We’re happy to announce that he’s gone and matched those 20 games and achieved a new highest placement of 7th! Congrats to the Orlando baller, we hope to see him continue to make appearances and climb the leaderboard! 🤞
REGIONAL HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE! Finishing in 8th place is Ronan S with 20 games. But what makes him so special? Well, he has officially become the first ever Plei App user from our growing and already vibrant New York City market to make the Top 15! We’d previously seen NYC ballers sprinkle their way into the overall Top 100, so we’re pumped that this milestone has finally come true! 🍏
Keep it up, Ronan! 🤩
To finish off our in-depth player highlights, we wanted to go ahead and do something we’ve never previously done before, which is shout out a player for being the first from their nation to make the Top 15! Salman became the first from Chad to appear in our leaderboard after he finished second last month, and we want to continue giving out the necessary props to these trailblazers! That being said, congrats to Taka S, who hails from Japan and plays his pickup footy out in South Florida. With 19 games played in November, he has comfortably secured 9th place. 👌
Diversity and the Plei App go hand in hand. Keep going, Taka! 🇯🇵
From 10th to 15th place, we have the rest of our debutants, plus a familiar face! Congrats to Jose C (Mexico/Houston), Emanuel G (Mexico/South Florida), Ty S 🏆 (USA/South Florida), Donald S (USA/South Florida), Lukas A (Argentina/South Florida) and Alexandre A (Angola/Houston). We hope to see more of them in the coming months! 🤩
We love to highlight the growing diversity of the Plei App community. A total of 28 different countries filled up our Top 100 in November, with 8 of those countries being represented in the Top 15. Overall, 112+ unique nationalities represented the entire Plei App this past month. The “Beautiful Game” in the flesh! ♥️
We want to remind everyone that all players who make it into our monthly top 100 earn a free Plei App shirt! 🆓
🚨REMINDER 🚨: Throughout 2023, we are not using one consistently updated link where you would all normally keep track of your leaderboard progress. Instead, a new link is provided each month. 📆

“I couldn’t believe I scored it to be honest, I didn’t see how I scored I just listened to the crowd and said oh my god. One of the best goals I’ve scored, I’m very happy.” – Alejandro Garnacho after scoring that bicycle kick vs. Everton 👹🇦🇷
Will you climb to the top of the Plei App rankings in December? 🤔🎅
