FIFA 17: 10 Overpowered Players Who Will Dominate

1. Cristiano Ronaldo

As much as he quite clearly loves himself, those playing FIFA 17 will love Cristiano Ronaldo even more. The Portuguese sensation only has two stats ranking lower than Lionel Messi (dribbling and passing), and only three lower than Gareth Bale (pace, defending and passing). Everywhere else, he is the single greatest player in the game.

Only one stat is less than 80, and that's a 33 for defensive work. Being honest though, few will be expecting the man to track back, he's much more effective when a midfield breaks quickly and gets the ball to him in the final third. If that's done regularly, expect opposition wing backs to drain energy rapidly.

The best thing about Ronaldo is that he's deceptively strong, merging an 80 for physical abilities with unbelievable pace, shooting and dribbling. Stopping him may require more than one defender, which is a risky game when he also has the likes of Bale, Modric and Benzema in the same team as him.

A full point ahead of Lionel Messi (94 to 93), Ronaldo is FIFA 17's most impressive player, and the one most likely to penetrate even the best defensive backlines.
