French finesse

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has scored 44 goals in 45 matches in all competitions this season, whilst also providing 15 assists too.

The France international's incredible consistent level of perfromance earned him a spot as the highest rated player in the La Liga Team of the Season in Ultimate Team, with a 98 OVR card.

EA has rewarded Benzema in the latest FIFA 22 Squad update with an upgrade from 91 to 92 finsihing, making him one of only seven players in the game with 92+ finishing.

One match remains for the French striker this season, with the UEFA Champions League final set to take place in Paris between Real Madrid and Liverpool very soon.

Finishing master

Despite scoring just one goal in his first 15 appearances this season, Harry Kane has somehow managed to net 17 in 37 appearances the Premier League this season.

The Egnland international captain has almost re-defined the striker role at Spurs and is the playmaker as well as the goalscorer, alongside teammate Heung Min Son, which is supported by the fact that he has 9 PL assists to his name this campaign too.

The Englishman's recent form has not gone unnoticed, with EA handing the number Spurs 10 a boost in multiple different stats.

Harry Kane's stat upgrades are as follows:

  • Acceleration (65 -> 67)
  • Stamina (81 -> 83)
  • Long Shots (85 -> 86)

Harry Kane was also handed an incredible 96 OVR Premier League Team of the Season card via SBC in Ultimate Team too.

English excellence

AS Roma summer singning Tammy Abraham is a striker who aspires to reach the leevl of the likes of Karim Benzema and Harry Kane, and is definitely heading in the right direction.

The English striker has 27 goals and 5 assists to his name in all competitons in the 2021/22 campaign, having relocated in Rome just last year.

The former Chelsea man has been exceptional in Roma's run to the Europa Conference League final, which is set to be played in Albania this week, having scored 9 goals in just 12 appearances.

EA has rewarded Tammy Abraham with a +1 OVR as well as boosts across several in-game stats.

Tammy Abraham's stat upgrades are as follows:

  • Dribbling (76 -> 77)
  • Aggression (58 -> 63)
  • Composure (77 -> 78)
  • Potential (85 -> 86)

We also expect Abraham to be one of the first names on the teamsheet for the Serie A Team of the Season in FUT 22.
