Is there a reason for not scoring many goals for FIFA 23? Strikers are vital to any team in FIFA 23, as they are capable of cutting past defenders with skill footwork and creating opportunities.

FIFA 23 best strikers
Karim Benzema is the best striker in FIFA 23, which is staggering considering he also leads the team''s top players in FIFA 23 after a phenomenal year in which he helped Real Madrid win both the Champions League and the Champions League. This is because to a two-point overall rating increase from last year, which sees him rise above the top strikers - Lewandowski, Ronaldo, and Mbappe - who all lost points or maintained the same rating in FIFA 23.
If you employ a Chemistry Modifier to make Benzema one of the FIFA 23''s most respected players, the results will be even better for those who are the Ultimate Team.
