Best strikers in FIFA 22 Career Mode: Top prospects and cheap players
There’s no shortage of strikers to sign in FIFA 22 Career Mode, so here are our picks for the very best to fill out your squad.
FIFA 22 Career Mode offers fans more control than ever by letting them create their own club from scratch. But that doesn’t mean that choosing the perfect striker to grab the goals is any easier. We’ve put together the Best Strikers in FIFA 22 Career Mode you should sign.
Long before Ultimate Team came in a stole the show, Career Mode was the jewel in the crown of the FIFA series.
In FIFA 22, EA is giving the mode a much-needed revamp by allowing fans to build their own club, complete with a custom stadium, kits, and crest.
Even though it’s a neat addition, a great Career Mode ultimately comes down to the squad of players you build, and perhaps most important in that is those at the top end of the pitch. Here are the best strikers you should sign in FIFA 22 Career Mode.
Best stikers in FIFA 22 Career Mode
There’s no denying that defenders and midfielders are also vital to building a team, but if you don’t score goals, you won’t win games. That’s why signing the perfect poachers should be top of the priorities list.
If you’re at a club battling it out for the top prizes, then you’re going to need the very best in front of goal.
Luckily, FIFA 22 has plenty of world-class finishers who can fire you to glory, whether you’re looking for someone quick who’s lethal on the counter-attack or a fox in the box who’s always in the right place at the right time.
Here are the best strikers you can pick up in the FIFA 22 Career Mode.
Player Name | Age | Club | Overall Rating |
Lionel Messi | 34 | PSG | 93 |
Robert Lewandowski | 32 | Bayern München | 92 |
Cristiano Ronaldo | 36 | Manchester United | 91 |

Romelu Lukaku | 28 | Chelsea | 88 |
Erling Haaland | 20 | Borussia Dortmund | 88 |
Best young strikers in FIFA 22 Career Mode
Bringing in an established striker might work well in the short term, but one of the most enjoyable parts of a Manager Career is watching your team grow over the course of many years.
That’s why it’s important to keep an eye on prospects when dipping into the transfer market because someone who may not look like much when you sign them could be one of the world’s best in a few seasons’ time.
There’s no shortage of young talent in FIFA 22, so here are the best wonderkids you should sign early on in your Career Mode.
Player Name | Age | Club | Potential Overall |
Kylian Mbappé | 22 | PSG | 95 |
Erling Haaland | 20 | Borussia Dortmund | 94 |

Alexander Isak | 21 | Real Sociedad | 86 |
Ferrán Torres | 21 | Manchester City | 90 |
Daniel Olmo Carvajal | 23 | RB Leipzig | 87 |
Best cheap strikers to sign
SIgning at a world-renowned striker or a hot prospect will probably set you back a fair amount of money, but sometimes splashing out doesn’t make sense.
If you’re at a mid-table side looking to climb the table or simply on the search for backup, you’re probably going to be working on a budget. Thankfully, there are more than solid goalscorers on the market that don’t break the bank.
These are the best cheap strikers in FIFA 22 Career Mode you should sign.

FIFA 23 Premier League ratings: Every team’s best players predictions
The Premier League is set to host some of the best players in FIFA 23, so we’ve predicted who will have the highest rating for each club.
The Premier League will be home to some of FIFA 23’s brightest stars, with players from the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool set to dominate Ultimate Team. Here are our predictions for the top Premier League ratings in FIFA 23, as well as every team’s best players.
Each and every year, EA updates its roster of players with new ratings based on how they performed in the previous season, and FIFA 23 is no exception. The 2021/22 campaign saw some exceptional performances, which will no doubt be reflected in the FIFA 23 ratings.
One of the biggest leagues to feature in FIFA 23 is the Premier League. Whether you’re building your dream Ultimate Team or embarking on a Career Mode, the English top-flight is likely to play a part.
But who will be the best players in the Premier League? We’ve put together our predictions for the top 10 highest-rated Premier League players in FIFA 23, and highlighted the best players from each club.

- FIFA 23 Premier League rating predictions: Every team’s best players
FIFA 23 Premier League top 10 player rating predictions
Player | Club | Upgrade / Downgrade | Rating |
Kevin De Bruyne | Manchester City | – | 91 |
Cristiano Ronaldo | Manchester United | – | 91 |
Mohamed Salah | Liverpool | +1 | 90 |
Heung Min-Son | Spurs | +1 | 90 |
Harry Kane | Spurs | – | 90 |
Alison Becker | Liverpool | +1 | 90 |
Ederson | Manchester City | +1 | 90 |
Erling Haaland | Manchester City | +2 | 90 |
Virgil Van Dijk | Liverpool | – | 89 |
Trent Alexander-Arnold | Liverpool | +2 | 88 |
After they two fought tooth and nail for all three domestic trophies last season, we’re expecting Manchester City and Liverpool to dominate the ratings in FIFA 23.
After winning Premier League Player of the Season, Kevin De Bruyne will likely keep his lofty 91 rating, sharing the top spot with Cristiano Ronaldo, who also enjoyed a great individual season in a struggling United team.
We’ve listed Erling Haaland as one of the highest climbers, who should receive a large bump after his high-profile move to City. Trent Alexander-Arnold is also expected to be rewarded after his best season to date, managing 12 assists from right back.
Heung Min-Son also registered his most prolific year in the Premier League so far, finishing as the joint-top goalscorer. This should be enough to see him move up a rating and join the coveted 90 club.
FIFA 23 Premier League rating predictions: Every team’s best players
While most clubs won’t have a shot of landing a player in the top 10, it’s still interesting to see how EA upgrades and downgrades stars from across the league. Every team had both standouts and flops that should be reflected when FIFA 23 rolls around.
With this in mind, we’ve made our predictions for every Premier League club’s top three players in FIFA 23:
AFC Bournemouth

FIFA 22 worst ratings: 5 players who need an upgrade in FIFA 23
In preparation for FIFA 23, we’re looking back at the five worst FIFA 22 ratings to highlight who is most deserving of an upgrade.
These five players are most deserving of a major rating upgrade in FIFA 23 after receiving some of the worst ratings in FIFA 22.
FIFA 22’s cycle is slowly coming to an end with players setting their sights on FIFA 23. As the release window for the new game approaches, fans are eagerly anticipating the reveal of player ratings.
Each year, player ratings generate a ton of buzz as fans of the franchise discuss which ratings EA perfected, and which ratings fell short of the mark. Of course, player ratings impact all of FIFA 23’s modes, but they usually have the biggest impact on the incredibly popular Ultimate Team mode.
Using FIFA 22 ratings, here are five players who are most deserving of an upgrade in FIFA 23.
Aaron Ramsdale
While Ramsdale is certainly deserving of an upgrade following his successful season at Arsenal, it’s easy to understand why EA Sports opted for a rating of 74 in FIFA 22. Not only was Ramsdale unproven in the competitive Premier League, but with Bernd Leno as Arsenal’s first-choice keeper, Ramsdale was viewed as a goalkeeper for the future.
Of course, all that changed as Ramsdale earned the number one spot and tallied 34 Premier League appearances and 12 clean sheets for Arsenal in his debut season for the club, which makes him deserving of a much-improved rating in FIFA 23.
Bremer
Torino was expected to have a truly disappointing 2021/2022 season, but an extremely positive campaign awaited the club instead. The Italian side managed a tenth-place finish in Serie A and this was mostly thanks to the stellar displays from defender Bremer.
Bremer began FIFA 22 as a 76-rated player and has since earned a Serie A defender of the year award, as well as a high-profile move to Juventus. There isn’t a center-back who is more deserving of a FIFA 23 upgrade than Bremer.
Jonathan Clauss
Jonathan Clauss may be a defender in FIFA 22, but his style of play as an attacking fullback earned him a few TOTW items and a well-deserved spot on the Ligue 1 TOTS. Much like Bremer, Claus was the reason his Lens side overachieved in 2021/2022 with a seventh-place finish.
Clauss has since moved to Marseille where the RWB will look to improve on his five goals and eleven assists totaled in the previous campaign.
Allan Saint-Maximin
One glance at a Newcastle match and it’s clear to see why Saint-Maximin is deserving of breaking into the 80s in FIFA 23. The winger is a magician with the ball at his feet and is simply a nightmare for opposing defenders to handle.
His pace and dribbling are breathtaking to watch and even with major investment coming into the club and attracting world-class players, Newcastle stated that Saint-Maximin is not for sale.
His goals and assists tally may have been low, but we must remember that he played on a Newcastle side that narrowly avoided relegation last season. With a rejuvenated squad, expect Saint-Maximin to shine as he continues to prove that a rating of 79 would be too low in FIFA 23.
Florian Wirtz
Before succumbing to a cruciate ligament injury that ended his season in March 2022, Florian Wirtz looked like one of the best players in the Bundesliga. Granted the midfielder is only 19 years old and a rating of 78 is quite impressive, but given his impact at Leverkusen, Wirtz is worthy of a FIFA 23 upgrade.
Wirtz accumulated 17 direct goal contributions in 24 Bundesliga games for Leverkusen. If his development continues on this trajectory, expect Wirtz to validate an improved FIFA 23 rating.
