FIFA 15: 10 Unlikely Players Who Will Dominate The Game

3. Lacina Traore

EA SportsEA SportsLacina Traoré came to prominence once FIFA gamers discovered that a 6'8" striker existed in the game. Although his 54 jumping stat raises a few eyebrows, the 23-year-old is an obvious threat in the air and remarkably quick for his height with a 79 sprint speed rating. If you haven't used him in FIFA 14 or earlier, the Monaco ace is much more versatile than you might presume. It's understandable that such a tall man is sluggish to turn on the ball, but his 90 strength, 81 heading accuracy and 80 finishing stats allow him to dominate markers and regularly hit the back of the net. Traoré has returned to the French principality from an unsuccessful loan spell with Everton last season where injury saw him chalk up just two appearances and a single goal. After forging a respectable goalscoring reputation in the Russian Premier League, the naturally-gifted striker has a lot to learn before he can muster his best form on English soil. In the meantime, Traoré will be more than capable of bossing defenders around in FIFA 15.
