FIFA 17: 8 Assist Kings That Guarantee Goals

8. Oliver Giroud

Although the Frenchman should be a much more prolific goal-scorer, he will not let you down in terms of assists either.

Giroud, plays best with a speedy strike partner alongside him. With formidable physical stats of 82 jumping and 88 strength, plus, with 6'3 height, he is fantastic at holding up the ball from defenders. This leaves all the pacy players around him enough time to make runs to cut through your opponent's defence.

Also, from corners or aerial battles, he will knock the ball down for your teammates to get a run through on goal. Granted, he would further benefit from higher passing stats but that's nothing that a dead-eye chem style can't fix.

With good ball control and reactions (82 and 83 respectively), the Arsenal player can be a very effective support striker.
