Football is 90% on goals. If you can score a lot of goals, then there is a good chance that a victory is imminent. In FIFA, the game is as much about the player you use to plant that shot in the back of the net as your skill with the controller. You can get yourself in a fantastic position for a shot on goal, but that doesn't guarantee they'll score.
So when it comes to FIFA 20 and scoring, you need players who end well. Having 60-rated attackers ahead of a team of 85+ midfielders and defenders can only get you far. This is where we come in!
Here is a selection of the best forwards in career mode in FIFA 20, taking age into account.
Lionel Messi (Barcelona, 32, CF / ST, OVR 94 ranking)
It's hard to say how easily Lionel Messi gives the impression of scoring goals. Last season, he scored 51 goals in 50 appearances. And he only has 32! A fantastic finisher with incredible dribbles, Messi is STILL one of the best, if not the best striker in the world, and that is reflected in FIFA 20.
Statistics:
Finish: 95
Composition: 94
Dribbles: 97
Ball Control: 96
Reactions: 95
Eden Hazard (Real Madrid, 28 years, CF, rating index 91)
It's fair to say that Eden Hazard has carried Chelsea for a long time. His skills and ability on the ball are of a higher standard than anyone in the Premier League. It's no surprise that Real Madrid are making this amazing player pay the money.
Statistics:
Acceleration / Balance: 94
Finish: 84
Dribbles: 95
Ball Control: 94
Composition: 91
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool, 27, ST, OVR 90 ranking)
One of the main factors in the success of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp's reign, Salah has gone from being a very good winger to a dynamite striker. Lightning fast and excellent on the ball he could still perform better as a winger but makes him a fantastic striker.
Statistics:
Acceleration: 94
Sprint Speed: 92
Finish: 90
Reactions: 92
Dribble / Ball Control: 89
Kylian Mbappé (Paris Saint Germain, 20, ST, ranking OVR 89)
The hype around Mbappé after his successful first season in Monaco was unmatched. The wait for a man who cost 180 million euros at 18 was monstrous. In his first season, he scored 21 goals in 44 games. Last year, 39 goals in just 43 caps. Mbappé was already a superstar, but now, in FIFA 20 life and career mode, he's on the verge of becoming the new best in the world.
Statistics:
Acceleration / Sprint Speed: 96
Agility: 92
Finish: 89
Positioning: 89
Dribbles: 91
Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur, 25, ST, ranking 89)
Harry Kane, one of the best players in FIFA 20, is a little different from the players mentioned earlier in this list. He doesn't rely as much on his pace as he does on pace and has one of the best brains in football in the business. His size also makes him deadly on a cross and is one of the best penalty takers you can buy.
Statistics:
Finish: 94
Heading Accuracy: 86
Positioning: 93
Composition / Reactions: 91
Shot Power: 90
Buying good deals:
Timo Werner (RB Leipzig, 23, ST, OVR 83)
Timo Werner is a player who should be significantly cheaper than the above. It has great attributes in all the right places. A nice finish, a very lively pace, good agility and positive reactions, and an attacking positioning all denote a striker who knows how to score goals. There is still room for improvement. If Mbappé is not in your price range, Werner is a great choice.
Statistics:
Acceleration: 93
Sprint Speed: 92
Finish: 86
Positioning: 85
Ball Control: 84
