FIFA 15: 16 Sensational Strikers Guaranteed To Score Goals

14. Karim Benzema

FIFA 14 Rating: 85 He might have been somewhat expected to leave Real Madrid this summer with the arrival of James Rodriguez, but the Frenchman resisted rumoured overtures from Liverpool and Arsenal to sign a new contract. And it looks like Real will simply play their new galacticos wherever they want to accommodate as much striking talent at once as possible, with Benzema currently still at the top of the attack. Yes, he probably did deserve the downgrade for FIFA 14, but last year he scored 24 goals in all competitions for Madrid, and there are signs that he should deserve another uplift in rating. He's not a player who's going to pick the ball up on half-way and burst past defenders with a bit of skill and a huge injection of pace, but Benzema is supremely lethal as a finisher in the box, and deserves a better rating for Finishing even than his 88 from FIFA 14. He's also very strong, so he fits the bill for teams looking to play with a lot of attacking pace in midfield and the need for a striker to take advantage.
