FIFA 17: 10 Best Free Agents You Need To Sign
6. Derlis Gonzalez (75)
On first glance, Derlis Gonzalez doesn’t look particularly special. There are higher rated free agent wingers on the market, and his low-profile real-life career means most FIFA players have likely never heard of him. That being said, Gonzalez is just 22 years old, and has the potential to grow to an 82 overall rating. His ability to play at both LM and RM makes him a versatile option, and if you put him in your side, you won’t be disappointed.
Pace and acceleration used to be king in FIFA, and you could pretty much guarantee dominance over any side if you stacked your squad with speed demons. EA Sports have toned this down somewhat in recent years, but it’s still slightly overpowered in FIFA 17.
This is where Gonzalez excels: his acceleration, sprint speed, and agility are all rated above 85, and have potential to grow into the low-90s. By the end of his development, Gonzalez will be one of the fastest players in the game, and he compounds his effectiveness with good stamina (77), dribbling (80), and ball control (72).
His delivery needs some work, as Gonzalez suffers from a relatively low crossing stat (67). Still, the right combination of training and playing time can turn him into a highly effective player at the highest level.
