FIFA 23 Tallest Players: Crouchy and Co set to DOMINATE defenders


The 2022/23 footballing season is officially underway around Europe and one notable return to the top-flight is seemingly the return of the target man up front.

The route one style of football hasn't been a viable option in FIFA for several years now, with the meta being dominated by smaller, agile players.

However, with the addition of FUT Hero Peter Crouch, this could be the year where the big man reigns supreme. So, take a look at the tallest players in FIFA 23 below.

Tomas Holy (6' 7")

Standing at six feet seven inches tall (206 cm), Tomas Holy will be the tallest player in FIFA 23.

Having started his professional career at Sparta Prague, the Czech goalkeeper has moved to England and now plays for League Two club Carlisle United.

Matt Macey (6' 7")

It's no surprise to see another GK up there. Former Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Macey comes in as a close second, standing at six feet seven inches tall (205 cm).

Having failed to break through to the Arsenal first team on a regular basis, the 27-year-old decided it was time for a switch and now represents Championship club Luton Town.

Isaak Toure (6'6")

The first non-GK in the list is here. Now playing for Marseille in Ligue 1, the 19-year-old is a colossus at the back at 6 feet 6 inches tall (204 cm).

Unlike many of his fellow giants, the teenager has genuine potential to become a top defender in Europe's top flight.

Fejsal Mulic (6'6")

Standing at six feet six inches tall (203 cm), Fejsal Mulic is an old-school target man up front.

The 27-year-old Serbian centre-forward plays for K League 1 side Seongnam and will be a handful for even the biggest of defenders in FIFA 23.

Vanja Milinkovic-Savic (6'6")

Serbian footballer Vanja Milinkovic-Savic stands at a huge six foot six (202 cm), so it's no surprise to see him between the sticks.

The goalkeeper plays in the Italian top flight, for Serie A side Torino.

Peter Crouch (6'5")

THE ROBOT RETURNS - Crouchy is back in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team

Former England international Peter Crouch is set to re-enter the FIFA series in the upcoming title as a FUT Hero in Ultimate Team.

The big man is known for his lanky figure and famous 'Robot' celebration, and will no doubt be used purely for a laugh in FUT 23 by many.

Fraser Forster (6'5")

Southampton GK Fraser Forster virtually covers the entire goal mouth, standing with broad shoulders at 6 feet five inches tall (201 cm).

The 34-year-old English 'keeper will play second fiddle to France international captain Hugo Lloris at his new club, Spurs, this season.

Thibaut Courtois (6'5")

Thibaut Courtois is a real unsung hero in the goalkeeper debate, but he proved last season that he's certainly one of the best in the world.

Coming up big when it mattered most, the big Belgian shot-stopper is deservedly one of the highest-rated players in the Real Madrid squad in FIFA 23.

Nick Pope (6'5")

England international goalkeeper Nick Pope is set to sure things up for Newcastle, having made a summer switch from relegated Burnley.

The solid GK doesn't make too many mistakes in net, helped by the fact that he is 6 feet five inches tall (199 cm).

Edouard Mendy (6'4")

Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has been simply outstanding since joining the London club from Rennes back in 2020.

The Chelsea GK now has a UEFA Champions League winners medal as well as an African Cup of Nations winners medal to his name.
