Man Utd didn't get their man in the Summer window thanks to Atlético Madrid's transfer ban, but that won't stop thousands of players from buying him in come FIFA 18's release. There's a reason for that, and it has much to do with the Frenchman's amazing skill for a 26 year old striker.

Griezmann had an 88 rating in FIFA 17. His 87 acceleration, 88 finishing and 87 dribbling were crucial attributes, but all paled in comparison to his combination of 87 jumping and a whopping 80 for heading. For a relatively small forward, Antoine is lethal with the head. He's perhaps one of FIFA's best overall players.

Should other stats like those governing stamina and free kick accuracy go up by a few points, then Atlético's main forward will get a boost up to an 89 overall, with the potential for that to rise quickly should he be managed correctly. Snap him up, because CPU teams will in Career Mode.
