1. Zlatan Ibrahimovic /// Manchester United /// Predicted FIFA 17 rating: 89 /// FIFA 16 rating: 89

Ibrahimovic doesn’t mind leaving Eric Cantona as the king of Manchester as he’s content being the God of Manchester. Well, he currently looks set to be the king of the Premier League on FIFA.

After getting a rating of 89 in last year’s edition, there’s simply no precedents to knock off any points even though he’ll turn 35 in October. The man scored 38 goals in 29 league appearances, and 50 goals in all competitions for PSG. Absolutely incredible.

During Ibrahimovic’s four years in Paris, he scored 113 goals in 122 league games. Granted, it’s Ligue 1, but still. Incredible. Before that, he scored 42 goals in 61 Serie A games for AC Milan.

It’ll be interesting to see how he gets on in the Premier League at his age after not taking a stop in England throughout his illustrious career. Ibrahimovic seems to have landed at the best possible English situation at this stage of his career in Manchester, though. He’s playing under a manager he loves in Mourinho, in a team where he’ll sit up top with youth around him with Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Mkhitaryan plus Rooney.

Zlat will certainly be tremendous in FIFA in that team. They have fantastic individuals in the front part of the team and it looks a success on paper, which is good enough for the video game.
