FIFA 15: 10 New Premier League Transfers Who Should Be Rated Highest

By Sam Heard /

8. Bafetimbi Gomis €“ 82 (FIFA 14 €“ 81)

The addition of Bafetimbi Gomis to play alongside Wilfried Bony is a thought that will likely console any Swansea fans who were mourning the departure of the once-great Michu to Napoli on loan (provided of course that the Swans can stop Liverpool pinching Bony). Gomis and Bony are very much strikers cut from the same cloth €“ both extremely athletic, fast and powerful with a reliable finish. A squad spearheaded by the Ivorian and the Frenchman playing side-by-side would devastate even the staunchest of defenses, both in real life and in FIFA. After a solid final season at Lyon, Gomis may even receive a marginal statistical upgrade on FIFA 15. Indeed the striker who scored 22 goals in all competitions last season currently only has a strength rating of 75 when he is known to be a player capable of standing his ground against even the most gigantic of centre backs. Reports from Swansea€™s preseason games indicate that the 29-year-old has looked sharp so far, making dangerous runs and showing excellent movement off the ball. The man signed on a free transfer from Lyon could be a huge asset to the Welsh side next season.
