FIFA 17: 10 Overpowered Players Who Will Dominate
8. Jerome Boateng
To some regular FIFA players, it may feel a little odd to see a central defender featured on this list. After all, surely spaces should be reserved for those who can score lots and lots of goals? Perhaps, but this list is all about those players who will dominate the opposition, and that covers a lot of ground.
In last year's game, Jerome Boateng clocked in at an impressive 87 overall rating. EA Sports have bumped that up by three points for FIFA 17, meaning he's the top ranked centre back in the entire game. Remember that, because it also means he'll come with a hefty price tag.
On their own official list of the best the new game has to offer, Boateng is described as a "real warrior' by EA. That's an apt assessment, because he's physically imposing (a rating of 85) and his overall defending stat sits at 90.
Of course, as a defender his shooting is lacking, but the CB has surprising pace (79) and can even dribble away from danger (68) if the player is skilled enough.
