FIFA 22 Career Mode offers fans more control than ever by letting them create their own club from scratch. But that doesn’t mean that choosing the perfect striker to grab the goals is any easier. We’ve put together the Best Strikers in FIFA 22 Career Mode you should sign.
Long before Ultimate Team came in a stole the show, Career Mode was the jewel in the crown of the FIFA series.
In FIFA 22, EA is giving the mode a much-needed revamp by allowing fans to build their own club, complete with a custom stadium, kits, and crest.
Even though it’s a neat addition, a great Career Mode ultimately comes down to the squad of players you build, and perhaps most important in that is those at the top end of the pitch. Here are the best strikers you should sign in FIFA 22 Career Mode.
