It's criminal that one of the most technically gifted strikers in modern times is left on the shelf. Dimitar Berbatov's first touch is nothing short of magnificent, and in FIFA, his ball control, dribbling, finishing, heading accuracy, penalties, short passing, shot power, volleys, vision, and positioning are all comfortably north of the 80 mark. He's a supremely classy striker with all of the attributes to be a success even at the age of 33. Unfortunately, his pace is evaporating and his 55 stamina represents his 'lazy' style on the pitch, but when you're in control of Berbatov, you can control his movements and effectively get the most out of his immense talent. If he holds onto his 80+ rating, he'll be an outstanding addition for a top half Premier League side, even if it is just to be an option from the bench.
