FIFA 18: 27 Newcastle United Player Ratings Revealed
1. Attackers
Dwight Gayle: 75
Aleksandar Mitrovic: 75
Joselu: 75
Choosing between Newcastle's strikers in FIFA 18 will come down to individual attributes, as all three are are eventually matched at 75 overall. Dwight Gayle's rating is up two from last year, while Aleksandar Mitrovic and Joselu have both declined by one.
Unsurprisingly, Gayle is the obvious first choice if you're looking for a poacher. His pace (83), shooting (76), and dribbling (72) stats outclass the other two, which is exactly what you'd expect, given their differing styles of play.
Mitrovic and Joselu are much of a muchness, but the big Serb looks like he'll be a more effective battering ram with a physical stat of 81, compared to the Spaniard's 67. On the flipside, Joselu's passing attribute (64) is 12 higher than Mitro's, which suggests that he'll be a more effective link-up player.
These numbers are in-line with what most fans would expect of Newcastle's strikers. Gayle earned his increased stats with a blistering 2016/17 campaign, while Joselu and Mitrovic barely played last season, hence the downgrades. Still, we can probably expect the former's numbers to improve if he maintains his current good form.
