FIFA 18: 7 players who EA Sports made far too good this year
‘OP’ is a term that many FIFA players are far too familiar with. But who are the most ‘OP’ (overpowered) players on this year’s game?
Here we pick seven players who perform far better than their ratings.
EA Sports, if you’re reading this, take note – you may need to cut them down to size in FIFA 19.
Asmir Begović (GK, Bournemouth)
Asmir Begović has become one of the most popular picks for Premier League Ultimate Team sides.
And it’s not hard to see why. The Bosnia and Herzegovina star boasts an impressive 82 in reflexes, but performs as though he’s got a 99-rating.
At 2,000 coins, he’s a must have.
Alejandro Gómez (CF, Atalanta)
Dubbed the ‘cheap Lionel Messi’ Argentinian forward Alejandro Gomez is one of the game’s most underrated attackers.
Just look at these stats – 94 acceleration, 86 sprint speed. Then there’s his dribbling, blending 94 balance, 92 agility and 87 ball control attributes.
Despite 87 for shooting, he’s absolutely lethal in front of goal.
Tiémoué Bakayoko (CDM, Chelsea)
Chelsea midfielder Tiémoué Bakayoko may be sub par in real life, but on FIFA he’s a different beast entirely.
The 82-rated CDM is a powerhouse in defensive roles and is incredibly tough to out-muscle.
Add to the mix proving tough tackling, stamina and aggression and you’ve got a complete midfielder.
Alex Sandro (LB, Juventus)
Juventus’ Alex Sandro is arguably the best left back on the game. I
He performs well above his 86 base rating – boasting an eclectic mix of stamina and speed.
At 30-40k FUT coins, he’s a bit pricy, but totally worth it.
Sergej Milinković-Savić (CM, Lazio)
Lazio midfielder Milinković-Savić is often compared to Paul Pogba on FIFA 18, but costs a fraction of the price.
His stats are not as impressive, but seriously, in-game he’ll feel far better than his 80-rated base card.
Anthony Martial (LM, Manchester United)
Man United left-midfielder Anthony Martial boasts immense pace and dribbling skills to run riot down the wing.
Add to the mix impressive ball control and improved shooting abilities on his FIFA 17 version, and he’s a deadly weapon on the flanks.
Gabriel Jesus (ST, Manchester City)
Man City Gabriel Jesus is far better than his 83 rating suggests.
He’s even more deadly than his FIFA 17 version and at 15k on the FUT transfer market, the Brazilian is an absolute steal.
