11:57 AM - January 14, 2014 by RaychelSnr

The striker. The most powerful weapon in your quest for victory, and the headlining part of any team in FIFA.

For decades, people have been debating who the best striker in the world of football might be. But how about the virtual world? Who, in my eyes, are the Top 5 best strikers in the 2014 incarnation of FIFA? Let’s take a look.

Nice job breaking down a complex subject. Playing styles do factor in a lot, but I can see the logic in your argument. There's even bound to be a couple of guys left off the list that a few people believe should either be on it or maybe at number one.

I've played with all of them a good bit except Van Persie, and Messi and Bale are by far better than the rest of them (unless you spam crosses into the box maybe Ibra). Aguero is nowhere near Messi or Bale in this game (good but not close to them).

Nice breakdown. Good observation on playing with Messi down the middle. I usually play with Messi at CAM with Neymar and Falcao as my strikers and all three of them dominate. I changed Messi's style to Shadow to bump his already fast pace and defense and that has helped with central defenders.

I'd like it better if you take Bale out and replace him with Cavani or Suarez. Aguero is my personal ST of choice. And Messi should at least be top 3. He's so great to use as a CF. He can create space in the middle by passing the ball off breaking to a crease and recieving the ball in space and dismantling defenders and GK 1on 1. But still a great list. And Ibra is totally idiot proof, and also the scariest player to face (cause it usaually means an opponent who knows what they're doing and dosen't just take pot shots like most the guys who play with Real).

I prefer putting Messi at Right Wing and having Fabregas at CF. I agree with Ibra at number 1 though, he's really the only top striker I actually like to use. I'm crap with elite players for whatever reason.

Zlatan is such a monster. I burnt through my entire transfer budget with Seattle to bring him to the MLS. Well worth it.

@Hunter - Hey Hunter, Dre the author here! Just saying, Cavani was literally my #6 on this list! Gareth Bale was literally too idiot proof NOT to mention!

# 8 Harrison101 @ 01/16/14 04:30 AM

@Hutton - My Honourable mention part of this column had to be edited out, but Christian Benteke was an honourable mention for me here too. He's a monster!

Good post. I've had a lot of success with Zlatan, Messi and surprisingly Ross Barkley. I don't know what it is about RB, but he is definitely a monster for me.

It's been awhile since I played with Liverpool, but what are Suarez's ratings currently? I honestly believe he's the best striker in the world right now.

# 11 Rensational14 @ 01/16/14 04:01 PM

88 or 89

10charrrr

# 12 Truking3 @ 01/27/14 12:56 AM

1 - Zlatan Ibrahimović (89, ST, Paris Saint-Germain) I unlock the hat trick achievement with him on XBONE So I must agree.

No love for Lewandowski? He's quite deadly.
