Okay, I know what you're thinking, everybody has heard of Jackson Martinez. However, following his switch to Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Martinez is suddenly set to become one of the most expensive strikers on FIFA 16. Martinez was rated at 82, though he earned a Team of the Year card which ranked at 87. Given his goalscoring record of 67 in 90 for Porto, and his big money move, expect him to be around the 84/85 mark. For his lower-rated card his finishing, heading, power, strength, volleys, stamina, strength, positioning, jumping and many more stats are all rated in the mid-80s, making him utterly devastating leading the line up front. Imagine if they all got a one or two point boost? Everybody knows Martinez is going to be great on the new FIFA, but the unlikely part comes in the fact that Martinez could easily be the most sought-after player in La Liga after Messi and Ronaldo. He offers strength and all-round physicality that Neymar, Luis Suarez and a lot of other strikers lack. Expect him to be one of the best players on the game, without exaggeration.
