Which striker should you field in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team? We will show you the currently most popular strikers and tell you what makes them so strong.
Strikers are probably the most important part of any team. Because without strikers, there are usually few goals. Here we show you a selection of strikers that are currently very popular and score many goals.
What kind of list is this? We list strikers here that are well received in the FUT community (via futbin) and are played the most. We did not consider prices and show you the currently most popular strikers with the most games in FUT 22 (as of October 23, 2021).
Exchangeable cards, such as SBC or task players, are not included on this list as the data for these cards cannot be captured.
1. Erling Haaland (88)
With 1,557,278 games and a goal rate of 1.41, Haaland is the striker with the most games and the most goals in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. But why is he so popular?
This is what makes the striker so popular: Erling Haaland offers a combination that not many players have: He is tall, extremely fast, strong in dribbling, and has outstanding physical stats that help him maintain possession of the ball. In addition, he has fantastic shooting stats (91), and it’s no wonder why so many FUT players rely on the Norwegian.
His only weakness is his right foot, with which you should only shoot at the goal in emergencies.
The cost of the card: You can currently get Haaland for an extremely cheap 17,000 coins.
2. Romelu Lukaku (88)
1,386,336 games have already been played in FUT 22 with Lukaku’s gold card. The card has a strong 1.31 goals per game.
This is what makes the striker so popular: Lukaku, similar to Haaland, has a solid physique, is fast, and has impressive strong shooting stats. Shots inside the box are a piece of cake for the Belgian and should rarely miss the goal. Additionally, Lukaku has 4 stars for his weak foot, making him nearly two-footed.
His only problem: He is a bit clumsy to control.
The cost of the card: Lukaku currently costs about 17,000 coins.
3. Timo Werner (84)
Timo Werner’s gold card currently has 1,162,226 games with a goal rate of 1.19.
This is what makes the striker so popular: Werner is a completely different type of striker than Haaland or Lukaku. Werner is significantly smaller, nimbler, and has an even higher speed. With him, it’s about playing quick counterattacks and leaving the defenders behind.
Werner offers decent shooting stats that can be improved even more with the Finisher chemistry style. Additionally, Werner has 4 stars on his weak foot, which makes scoring much easier.
The cost of the card: You won’t have to reach deep into your FUT wallet for Werner. The striker is already available for 10,000 coins.
4. Memphis Depay (85)
Depay currently has 1,131,954 games in FUT 22 and has a goal rate of 0.92.
This is what makes the striker so popular: Depay is a striker who can excel in all areas. He is fast, has good physicality, strong passing stats, is very good in dribbling, and even offers 5-star skill moves.
He also has fantastic shooting stats, especially highlighting shot power (88). Therefore, you can search for shots excellently with Depay both inside and outside the penalty area.
However, his problem is also his weak foot. The Dutchman only has 3 stars there.
The cost of the card: Depay is already available for around 5,100 coins.
5. Cristiano Ronaldo (91)
If Ronaldo were a bit cheaper, he would probably be at the top of this list. Nevertheless, it is impressive that a card with such a high price still manages to have 962,267 games. The card has a goal rate of 1.33 goals per game.
This is what makes the striker so popular: There’s not much to say about Cristiano Ronaldo’s gold card. The Portuguese once again has a card in FUT 22 with fantastic stats, making it hard to find any weaknesses. Ronaldo is very fast, has incredibly strong shooting stats, and excels with excellent dribbling.
He also has strong passing stats, very good heading and jumping stats, and possesses 5-star skill moves as well as 4 stars for his weak foot.
The cost of the card: Ronaldo is by far the most expensive player on this list. At the moment, his gold card costs 1.24 million on the FUT transfer market.
6. Ivan Toney (84)
Somewhat surprisingly, the English striker Ivan Toney appears on the list of the most popular strikers. However, his card, which has 939,205 games with a goal rate of 1.16, reveals why.
This is what makes the striker so popular: Toney’s Inform card is a strong upgrade compared to his gold card (76 -> 84) and directly shows why the Englishman is currently so popular. He offers top stats at a reasonable price. If you use an Engine chemistry style, Toney not only has strong shooting stats but also fantastic pace and dribbling stats.
His passing stats, as well as the 3 stars on his weak foot and skill moves, could use some improvement.
The cost of the card: For just 17,000 coins, you can bring Inform Toney into your team.
7. Robert Lewandowski (92)
806,511 games with a goal rate of 1.23 have already been played by FUT players in FIFA 22 with Robert Lewandowski’s gold card.
This is what makes the striker so popular: Unlike in previous years, Lewandowski can finally be recommended in FUT 22, as pace does not play such a dominant role in this FIFA. This year, strong shooting stats, especially with the finesse trait, as well as strong dribbling and physicality, are more important.
All of this is provided by Lewandowski, making him a good choice for the attack and likely to score many goals. Additionally, he has 4-star skill moves and 4 stars for his weak foot.
The cost of the card: You can currently get Lewandowski for about 39,000 coins.
The following strikers are in the further places:
- Pierre Emerick Aubameyang
- Victor Osimhen (Inform)
- Wissam Ben Yedder
- Karim Benzema
