Physicality is in this year, and the following FIFA 17 beasts can win you games on their own.
With the new changes to shielding as well as the Frostbite engine changing the feel of the game, it is obvious that powerful players are going to give you a big advantage this season.
We've tried out a lot of players already, and have looked specifically at certain, perhaps lesser celebrated, players for you to buy in your Career Mode, Ultimate Team, or simply to use to batter your pals.
The following players all have one thing in common; dominance.
Frustrating to play against, delightfully satisfying to barge people out of the way with, here are five players that can only be described as destroyers of worlds in FIFA 17.
Godfred Donsah - CM - Bologna
An all-around midfielder with a ridiculous engine, Godfred is unmissable anytime he is on the pitch because he is always involved in the action.
The beauty of Donsah is his ability to use the ball once he effortlessly takes it back, and he is available for dirt cheap on the Ultimate Team market.
You can put him in any level of side and he'll be one of your best performers.
Kamil Glik - CB - AS Monaco
He's big, he's Polish, he's an absolute nightmare to get around.
Despite his pace rating of 60, he is not noticeably slow, mainly due to his size in the game which makes it damn near impossible to dribble past. Glik was a beast on FIFA 16, but this year with a move to Monaco he has kicked up a level and is an essential buy for a Ligue 1 team.
When it comes to ariel duels, there are few players more dominant. He wins every goal kick and corner aimed in his direction, and as a result pops up with a few goals too. A very underrated FIFA 17 option.
N'Golo Kanté - CDM - Chelsea
No surprise here, but we just couldn't ignore what a total monster Kanté is on this year's game.
The king of FIFA 17 beasts, Kante won't be cheap but he will gobble up anything that comes near him if you can manage to get him in your team, and his overall stats mean he can play against the top rated midfielders in the game and still produce.
As the saying goes, water covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, the rest is covered by N'Golo Kanté.
Gary Medel - CDM - Inter Milan
Gary Medel is the best defensive midfielder on FIFA 17.
He has been outstanding for the last two versions of the game, but a stats boost this year has made him an immovable object in the middle of the pitch. The perfect player to sit in CDM in a 4-1-2-1-2, Medal is a magnet to the ball.
He will quickly become your favourite player as is just a nightmare to play against.
Josuha Guilavogui - CDM - Wolfsburg
The stats don't exactly jump off of the Ultimate Team card, but Guilavogui is a cut-price version of N'Golo Kanté who can do just as good a job.
His passing is better than the 66 suggests, but just don't try to shoot with him. Guilavougi is a CDM through and through, it would not be wise to use him elsewhere, but if the opposition are deploying a CAM, then big Josh will take him out of the game.
