FIFA 16 Sunderland Career Mode Guide: 11 Things You Must Do
6. Keep Defoe, Flog Fletcher
Whatever you do, keep Jermain Defoe. One of the very first things to happen in the career mode was a £6.5 million bid for the England international from Serie A side Palermo. It may look like a good amount of money to add on top of the budget, but Defoe is your star. The ex-Spurs man has the 12th highest shooting rating on the game, tied with Robert Lewandowski. Obviously there's a gulf in class between the pair, but if you get the ball to Defoe in the box, he'll score 99 times out of 100. Meanwhile you should be looking to make a tough call on Steven Fletcher. His contract is over at the end of the season, and you can cash in now with clubs lining up to meet his valuation. You've already got Defoe, Fabio Borini, and Ola Toivonen if needed, making Fletcher disposable.
