15. Gareth Bale

Whether he's a winger, forward, or striker, as the FIFA 14 poster boy, it's simply unthinkable that EA SPORTS could undermine his white-hot goalscoring form of last season. The last FIFA 13 squad update labelled Bale as a centre forward €“ or CF in FIFA lingo. Truth be told €“ he's probably still a wide man at heart, and editing his position was simply an attempt to emulate the 'free role' offered by Andre Villas-Boas. 26 goals in all competitions for Tottenham last season has proliferated his market value to astronomical heights €“ prompting a summer-long transfer saga involving the former Southampton starlet and Real Madrid. Despite Bale's recent world-record breaking £85m switch to Spain, Cristiano Ronaldo remains the undisputed king of the Real dressing room and, it would seem, the first-choice left wing role. In saying that, Carlo Ancelotti is faced with the luxurious dilemma of formulating a line-up that accommodates both the two best wide men on the planet.
