Zlatan Ibrahimović has the exact same pace stat as Mesut Özil in this year's title, something which is admittedly confusing. Speed has never really been Ibra's game anyway though, he's much better when taking a touch into the box or leaping above defenders to head the ball into the net. Aside from the dodgy pace, he's dynamite elsewhere.

In recent years, a huge part of FIFA's gameplay has revolved around physical jostling between players. Naturally, this is handy when faced with a speedy winger, because it levels the playing field a little for defenders. That works in reverse too, especially with somebody like Zlatan.

The big Swede has an 86 rating for physical ability, meaning he's going to be nigh-on impossible to shunt off the ball. Combine that with a deadly 90 in the shooting category, and he's the perfect man for those who like to continually batter a tired defence.

Adding to the package, Zlatan's passing is excellent too, meaning he can also set up chances for others. If only he was a little quicker, he'd be the best striker in the game.
