With 11 Bayern Munich players in the list of FIFA 15s top 50 rated players, the prospect of facing the Bundesliga champs in EA Sports newest football-sim is a daunting one to say the least. In FIFA 14 Bayern Munich were a phenomenally powerful team which suffered one weakness their lack of a killer striker. The uber-versatile Thomas Müller could be used as a striker thanks to his world class finishing but he operates best in the midfield. Though he has started slowly for the club in real life, the addition of Robert Lewandowski will turn the Bavarians into one of the most lethal sides on the game. The Polish forward, packing lethal finishing with some high physical attributes, was one of the best strikers on FIFA 14 and has received a well-deserved upgrade on FIFA 15. With exceptional aerial abilities to complement Bayerns phenomenal wingers, expect Lewandowskis goal scoring record to be sky-high on FIFA 15. Though an extremely talented player, the loss of Toni Kroos to Real Madrid doesnt damage Bayerns stock whatsoever. The stacked nature of their midfield meant that Kroos ended up being left on the bench for Mario Götze anyway so his absence doesnt damage the side. The addition of Xabi Alonso at CDM to play alongside Schweinsteiger means that Bayern now have two of the best passers in the game, providing quality balls from deep. Which teams do you think will be over-powered in FIFA 15? Share your thoughts below in the comments thread.
