FIFA 16 Newcastle Career Mode Guide: 11 Things You Must Do

11. Sign Charlie Austin

You don't have to sling in the reported £15 million real life asking price on FIFA 16 as Queens Park Rangers aren't as stubborn in the virtual world. A respectable £8 million is enough to lure the striker to Tyneside and will give you far better firepower up front. If anything happens to Aleksandar Mitrovic then you do not want to be left with just Papiss Cisse to lead the line and Charlie Austin will give you further tactical options as he can successfully play alongside the physical Serbian. Austin - who has an FUT rating of 77 - made 30 appearances during my first year in charge at St James' Park and scored a whopping 22 goals. He was my top goalscorer during the 2015-16 season and finished ahead of Aleksandar Mitrovic who grabbed 19.
