FIFA 16: 12 Monster Strikers Who Need Downgrading
4. Karim Benzema - 85
This may seem like an odd name to have on this list. His stats look great. 22 goals in 47 games this season is pretty decent, particularly as he's been missing through injury at times.
Nevertheless, Karim Benzema is a poacher, playing in one of the best teams in the world, surrounded by the likes of Ronaldo, Bale, James Rodriguez, and Modric all feeding him the ball in a league where there are really only 3 big teams and everyone else is there to be crushed.
His record at Lyon was decent too, with a goal every other game, but again, he was surrounded by very good players, and playing in a weak league.
If a move to Liverpool or Arsenal transpires, he wouldn't score nearly so many goals. 10-12 a season perhaps? His work rate just isn't high enough to cut it in the Premier League, and he will quickly be exposed as less than world-class.
Regardless of how many goals he has scored at Madrid, his rating should be brought down to more accurately reflect his talents.
Karim Benzema Recommended Rating: 82
