Top 5 FUT Attackers
Hello and welcome to the final piece of my top five countdown. This countdown is reserved for my favorite attacking players of FUT 15 (strikers, forwards and wingers). I’m going to try and make this one a bit more brief, as I fear I’ve been repeating myself a bit too much. So here we go, my preferred attackers of FUT 15.
5. Arturo Vidal (CF)-85
I know what you’re saying, “he isn’t an attacker.” That’s where you’re wrong though. Vidal was magnificent for me and if you’re still playing FUT 15 you should totally give him a go as a CF. He probably averaged close to a goal per game for me and his positioning was outstanding. He was always in the right place at the right time and would argue that his positioning was as good as any true attacker on this list. Vidal, CF, do it. Trust me.
4. Alexis Sanchez (RW)-84
Another Chilean makes the list and Sanchez was actually included in the team where I used Vidal as a CF. As you would expect he was extremely quick and his dribbling only helped that. I also found his weak foot finishing to be very good and not at all what you’d expect from someone with a 3* weak foot. I would imagine he’d make a great RF if those formations are more to your liking, although I loved his work rates and how he tracked back to help defend. I’d assume most people have used Sanchez, but he still had to make this list.
3. Eden Hazard (LW)-88
Hazard just edges out Sanchez as my favorite winger, but his production in front of goal totally backs his ranking. He probably played 50 games for me and either had a goal or an assist in each one of them. He did take my penalties, but he won a fair share of the spot kicks he scored. The biggest difference between Hazard and any other winger was his strength. It’s only a 63, but it makes all the difference when he is up against stronger right backs and that little bit of extra strength allows him to get the space he needs to use his speed. His finishing is also as good as you’ll get form a winger. Now on to the big boys.
2. Hulk (ST)-84
I’ll start by saying I wasn’t crazy about Hulk’s normal card, but man was he a beast as a striker. He was still kind of sluggish, but being played centrally and being allowed to surround him with speedy players made up for this. He was incredible (HA!) in terms of positioning and finishing, which is what you’d want from a player you paid 150k for. His long shots were also nuts and he could score from anywhere within 35 yards. The last bit of praise I’ll give him was about his weak foot. Usually players with a 2* weak foot are forced to use their strong foot, but Hulk was fine on his right. Maybe his shot power helped it, but he could finish in the box with both feet. He’s as cheap as he’ll ever be right now with FIFA 16 looming, so go pick him up!
1. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (ST)-81
This guy, as FUT players know all too well, is a handful at any position. But he takes my top spot for two reasons. First is obviously his pace and his finishing and his passing and his goal scoring record and every other amazing thing you’d expect from this Aubameyang as a striker. What puts it over the top is his price. When I used him, I was able to snag him for 70k, which is INSANE for a player of this caliber. Price isn’t everything though, and he scored at least a goal a game for me when he was in my squad for about 30 or so games. I feel like he’d be a nice false 9 as his passing seemed solid for me. So there you have it, as expected, a pacewhore of a player takes the top spot.
That’s all for my top five countdown and I thank anyone who checked it out for reading. As a warning, I will probably be moving away from FUT/FIFA centered content for a while, as other games this fall have much more of my attention (an article in the next week or so will be coming on this topic). Still, I encourage anyone who enjoys my FUT content to keep reading and appreciate those of you who do so. See you next time!
