FIFA 17: 10 Overpowered Players Who Will Dominate

7. Robert Lewandowski

As much as Jerome Boateng will be awesome at the back, his Bayern Munich teammate Robert Lewandowski is that destructive force up front. Even going back a few years to when the Polish striker pulled on the colours of Borrusia Dortmund in FIFA, he was always a shrewd buy. This time around, he's ranked just behind Zlatan and Luis Suárez by EA.

That's slightly misleading, because Lewandowski is a better option than Zlatan for players who much prefer pace. At 81, that stat means he's lightning quick, and his 85 dribbling skills could make for some utterly devastating runs from wide positions.

Cutting in from the wing may be the best way to use Lewandowski, because he's great at shooting from long range and also at holding defenders off. With a shooting stat of 87 and physical attributes totalling 82, there's no doubt that Robert Lewandowski will find the back of the net loads in FIFA 17.

Just don't ask him to do any defending, but then - as aforementioned - that's what Jerome Boateng is for.
