FIFA 14 Prediction: The Invincible XI

RS: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (89 Overall)

Some fans can't stand the real Ibra and yet they laud him on FIFA €“ a testament to his admirable qualities. The Swede is placed in a different realm to any other forward in the game. He has everything you could possibly want in a striker: height, power, finesse, ball control, creativity and reasonable mobility to boot.

Key Stats

Shot Power: 93

Any striker rated 80 overall or above should do a half decent job in and around the penalty box, but few players offer the multifaceted threat of the former Milan, Barcelona and Inter hitman. Equipped with the hardest shot of all strikers in FIFA 14, he's also blessed with fantastic ratings of 91 finishing, 89 volleys, 86 long shots and 80 curve. One-on-one with the 'keeper, mobbed by a crowd of defenders or 30 yards from goal, Ibrahimovic is likely the best man to find the net in any these situations and more.

Agility: 86

It's pivotal that a man of his size is still capable of twisting and turning in the penalty box. Agility was a powerful attribute in FIFA 13; it seemed to emphasise a player's speed and quickness off the mark, tied in with sprint speed and acceleration stats, of course. Defenders would definitely breathe more easily faced with Ibrahimovic if he was as sluggish as his stature implies.

Strength: 93

Looking at his encyclopedia of diverse talents, I can't help but feel the Paris Saint-Germain striker is reminiscent of Chelsea legend Didier Drogba in his prime. The most stark resemblances are his awesome strength, showmanship and apathetic bullying of defenders with sheer physicality. Both are virtually complete players up forward and the damage they can cause has been proven time and time again in FIFA games gone by.
