His Power Shot PlayStyle+ adds another layer of danger if you give him an inch, he’ll score from anywhere. Expect this Kane to become a fan favorite for players who value pure efficiency in front of goal.

Virgil van Dijk (91 CB)

Robert Lewandowski (89 ST)

Barcelona’s captain and goal machine receives a well-deserved 89-rated striker card featuring 83 pace, 91 shooting, 82 dribbling, 80 passing, and 83 physical. Lewandowski’s unmatched finishing and intelligent positioning make him a lethal option inside the box.
