FIFA 18: Predicting The 10 Best Strikers

7. Paulo Dybala (89)

One thing Juventus maestro Paulo Dybala will have over the likes of Harry Kane is his immediate acceleration and overall speed. Once bigger men like Kane get going, they're hard to stop, but Dybala is quick from the off, making him one of FIFA's most dangerous. If you like fast frontmen, he's a fine choice.

Dybala's 86 rating in last year's game seemed to suggest EA were hedging their bets to see what kind of season he'd have in Serie A. Although the Argentinian didn't match his 19 goal haul from the previous league season, he did score more in the Champions League as Juve reached the final, so his rating should theoretically rise.

89 seems to be EA's go-to rating when players start to catch fire (certainly in forward positions), and that makes sense for Dybala. He's not particularly good with the head, but made up for that last year by having great finishing and a deceptively good crossing skill (78).

Expect all his stats to go up.
