Best Young Strikers and Forwards in FIFA 16 Career Mode
Best Promise: PAUL DYBALA
Nationality: Argentina
Club (first season): Juventus
Rating: 78
Potential (1): 88
Age: 21
Insane! This player is really amazing. Buy him as soon as possible because he will score lot of goals. Guaranteed.
Best Alternative: MORATA
Nationality: Spain
Club (first season): Juventus
Rating: 81
Potential (1): 88
Age: 22
The Juventus attack is guaranteed with two talented strikers. Morata is better in heading but Dybala is younger and generally stronger.
Second Best Alternative: BREEL DONALD EMBOLO
Nationality: Switzerland
Club (first season): FC Basel
Rating: 76
Potential (1): 88
Age: 18
Remember his name because he’s gonna be one of the greatest strikers in the future. Usually we don’t suggest players with low overall, but this one is an exception. He is only 18 and already has overall 76. Besides that he is fast, strong and… cheap.
#4: ROMELU LUKAKU
Nationality: Belgium
Club (first season): Everton
Rating: 80
Potential (1): 86
Age: 22
Here it is one of the best strikers in FIFA 15 Career Mode. Fast, strong and with good shooting, Lukaku is a good choice to improve the attack of you team.
#5: ÁNGEL CORREA
Nationality: Argentina
Club (first season): Atlético de Madrid
Rating: 76
Potential (1): 87
Age: 20
He needs to learn to head the ball better, but in anything else he is incredibly good. With that pace and dribbling, it is very difficult to stop him.
#6: LUCIANO VIETTO
Nationality: Argentina
Club (first season): Atlético de Madrid
Rating: 79
Potential (1): 86
Age: 21
No, it is not the same player. But it is also a great buy. Vietto is a skiller player that will make Atlético de Madrid a richer club.
#7: PACO ALCÁCER
Nationality: Spain
Club (first season): Valencia CF
Rating: 80
Potential (1): 88
Age: 22
He belongs to the group of players with highest potential. This year he looks even better with the new high/medium work rates.
#8: ANTHONY MARTIAL
Nationality: France
Club (first season): AS Mónaco (Manchester United)
Rating: 77
Potential (1): 86
Age: 19
He is so young and already so popular. If you want to buy him, be prepared to pay a good amount of money.
#9: NABIL FÉKIR
Nationality: France
Club (first season): Olympique Lyon
Rating: 79
Potential (1): 85
Age: 22
Many people compare him to Lacazzete but in FIFA 16 Career Mode he is not good enough to deserve it. He has amazing stats, good potential but he is not Lacazette.
#10: DIVOCK ORIGI
Nationality: Belgium
Club (first season): Liverpool
Rating: 76
Potential (1): 86
Age: 20
Origi needs to play and that may not happen in his current club. Make an offer for him. You have good chances to buy a young star for a good price.
BEST YOUNG STRIKERS AND FORWARDS
1. Paul Dybala
2. Morata
3. Breel Donald Embolo
4. Romelu Lukaku
5. Ángel Correa
6. Luciano Vietto
7. Paco Alcácer

Notes:
(1) Potential is an average of estimated rating a player can reach. It doesn’t mean that you will reach that overall nor that you won’t overcome it.
What about Jesus Manuel Corona of Twente (Porto) ?
He is a goos player but he not in our TOP 10. Maybe in our TOP 20…
Hey mr lopes.Just wondering i am starting an ac career mode.who should i sell on ac milan and also please name some good replacements for them.
Don’t sell Mastour, Rogmanoli, De Sciglio and Niang. They are your future best players. You can sell anyone else.
We have here dozens of suggestions of players to buy.
U have helped me make my career amazing so thanks sooooo much ur gr8 ?
Thank you so much. Don’t forget to visit us next month to see our choices for FIFA 17 Career Mode.
Hector villalba ?
As we have seen, Martial is the best crack in attack. So it’s just statistics. Martial is just 19 and he’s the first choice in the left side.
Hi Rodrigo, i started a season with Melbourne Victory FC in the A-League. I am one season in… i have all original players and have grown to the 70s overall. The only player i have purchased is Jordan Ibe from Liverpool. Any suggestions with positions? players to buy? or players to sell?

It depends of your plans. If you sell Ronaldo, for example, you will be able to buy lots of amazing players that you will be able to use for many seasons.
Keeper is my prob… I want a young good keeper
P-E-R-I-N. That’s what you need.
Take a look here.
You can also get Simone scuffet or but land they have good diving and reflexes they are 18 and 22
Hey Rodrigo, I started a Liverpool cm. What should I do with the squad since I have lots of money. Who should I sell and who is a good buy for Liverpool.
Hi Jose.

Which Barbosa?
I dont know what team to play as in cm any more and i would like to do bpl or la liga but i dont know what team.
Please can i have suggestions
Check if they can do it on a cold, rainy night in Stoke
Real Madrid is great because they already have the best young talents like Varane and James.
Love your stuff mate, seems like someone i could sit with and talk footie with for hours. Have been facing a problem recently w cm where i cant seem to settle on a team to use for long, i keep getting new ideas for different teams and keep restarting cm over and over. Not only that, i usually play underdog teams and always limit myself to only buying realistic targets e.g. Not buying lacazette even when i can because im using everton. Do you ever experience this?
Yes. But that makes part of the fun.
Thank you.
Mr. Lopes, I’ve started a Man Utd career mode and I’ve sold Rooney, Mata, Jones, Valencia,Young, and Martial. I’ve bought Süle, Bazoer, Tielemans, Gonçalo Guedes, Fabhino, Giménez, Tolissio, Berahino, Munir, and Sandro. Any suggestions as to whom else should I buy?
( I’m still in Season 1) I normally love taking low rated youngsters and giving them a opportunity in the first team( playing Süle and Giménez over Smalling and Rojo) and I’ve also bhought Embolo. Any suggestions for good additions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Keshav
Hi.
You already have a team for the next 15 seasons. And what a team!
However, I think you should focus in winning now. You will need someone with experience to help you, until the younger ones are growing.
Cheers
Thank you
I need a good (70-73 rated) right back that is young and has potential. Any suggestions? Budget around €15m
Why not Laporte?
Bellerin – Arsenal. Cyrus Christie – Derby if you’re a decent player.
What about ihenacho? Man city striker, three seasons on in my career mode he’s gone from 67? To 83, still only 21 and progressing well
I started a season with Osasuna. Have a budget of €4mil. Any players in mind that I can get. Any position
Embolo, Arrizabalaga, Valllejo and Saúl. You can also check our free players articles.
Wissam Ben tedder really deserves to be here. If you’ve used him you’ll understand that he’s extremely good.
He is a good player but not as good as the ones we have published.
I sold Santiago Cazorla to Real Madrid who should I replace him with Can you give me suggests Rodrigo lopes I have around 80 million to spend
James

I am in the summer transfer window of 2019 and i have morata and lucas at 91!!! Astonished!!!!

Hello Mr. Lopes,
I’ve recently started my career with Chelsea. Everything was going amazing. Top of the league, Hazard the top scorer, until he decided to leave. Now without his amazing dribbling and finishing, I’m having quite a difficult time coping. Any suggestion to an alternative player almost like him? If not better
Hi.
Better? Neymar.
If you don’t have so much money, try Reus.

Hi Mr Lopes, I’m a few seasons into a Chelsea career mode, and I want to replace lacazette with a younger striker who is not a big step down and has good heading and pace too. Who should I buy?
I’m thinking either Lukaku, Morata or Embolo
Embolo is the right decision.

Follow one of the suggestions we have published.
Hi Rodrigo
I’m in my third career with Liverpool. I have bought many players such as Ronaldo, Gotze, Tielemans, Hummels. I need a good striker not too expensive. I’m hesitating in between Embolo and Lacazette.
Buy both! 🙂
If you need someone to play in your first team, buy Lacazette. If you have time, buy Embolo and you will get a top striker for many years.
sorry.what is the potential rating of casemiro real madrid cdm?
81
Jean Charles Castelletto is an amazing centre back,plus I bought Sofiane Boufal and Hachim Mastour as my CAM.
Luciano vietto or dybala
Dybala is our first choice and Vietto the 6th, so…
Ok thanx sir
Hey Mr. Lopez i just started a career with Manchester City , any advise on who I should sell and keep as well as buy.The squad is a bit old however I’m looking forward to tweaking the midfield and defense as well as probably sell sterling and try to bring in neymar.

Balotelli? İs he not young?
This website is very helpful.Thank you.nice job 😀
Young for us is to be under 23.
Thank you.
hi i am in a career mode with Seville and i have 42m i want to buy two or three young player who will be high rated in future what do you suggest
Hi. Our suggestion is to buy Embolo, Mattia Perin and Berardi.
Hi Rodrigo, thank you for such awesome guides! I did have a question though, for the future who would be better, lukaku or dybala?
Dybala! He’s younger and has better potential. However, it depends of their development.
As far as my experience with fifa16 goes berradi is 90 brandt is 90 where as rugani stucks at 79 alcacer 79 martial 81. So the point is that all these listed players are good but not upto there potential as mentioned here. Some might reach to higher potential while others may not. To mention some fifa 16 young players and their ratings o torres 88. Depay 89 meyer 85 G guedes 86 halilovic 87 l shaw 88 gaya 89 chambers 89. Just to mention few.
Exactly. The potential is an average of what can happen with a player. It can be more or it can be less.
Btw thank you rodrigo. Before i start any career i always follow your suggestions. Pls keep up the good work.
Thank you.
Mr rodrigo how do u feel about luke shaw as potential lb?
It is one of the positions where he can play.
Zdravím vás, Rodrigo začal som hrať za Barcelonu nejaké rady a tipy koho predať a kúpiť kto sa hodí dobre do tohto týmu díki moc.
