It may sound strange, but for all the praise Zlatan Ibrahimovic gets, I still think he could be underrated in the grand scheme of things. He's won it all in numerous countries, and how many top strikers can say that? He's proven himself in every majopr top flight except the Premier League, but that shouldn't be held against him. His goalscoring record over a number of years has been sublime, while his unique power, acrobatic skill, and venomous finishing have brought joy to any FIFA player lucky enough to have him in their UT squad. He still racked up 19 league goals and 6 assists in 24 appearances last season. That is remarkable, and while he is now 33 - the only real reason for his -1 decline from the 90+ club - he's proven himself as arguably the greatest out-and-out striker in the last decade. Who wants to debate me on that?
