FIFA 17: 10 Strikers Guaranteed To Score Goals

I think it's fair to say that this year's FIFA is taking a little while to get used to. Pace is back with a vengeance, while a new emphasis on strength and physicality has made every collision, block, and contested run mean that little bit more. Everything seems to take slightly longer to click, but once it does, the results can be spectacular.

Of course, there's no shame in seeking the help of a few select players - namely the best strikers on the game. Sure, it's great to bolster your ranks with a ball-spraying midfielder or aerially-dominant centre back, but there's nothing like a man who can get you in the scoresheet in the blink of an eye.

Sure, Ronaldo and Messi have secured the two top spots for yet another year in terms of ratings, but they're listed as wingers. Here, we're primarily concerned with strikers and centre forwards - and don't worry, EA have bestowed very high ratings upon a number of such players.

On this list, you'll find a variety of strikers to suit your style of play, from nippy speed merchants to hulking target men. However, they all have one thing in common: the ability to score goals in abundance.

FIFA's new emphasis on physicality suits Edinson Cavani down to a tee. The PSG frontman has been a force in world football since transferring to Napoli some six years ago, and must always be reckoned as a problem by defenders. His lethal combination of size and finishing ability has seen him thrive in both Italy and France, as well as on an international stage.

The Uruguayan has a very respectable 85 rating in this year's instalment of the game. His shooting stats are by far the strongest aspect of his game, but his fearsome aerial prowess has also been replicated by EA. He's a must for those who love floating crosses into the box, but also has more than impressive dribbling stats for players who prefer a solo run or two.
