FIFA 22: Who Are The Strongest Players?

While not as important an attribute as it once was, strength still plays a part in FIFA 22, but who is the strongest player of them all, and why is it still Adebayo Akinfenwa?

Strength in FIFA 22 essentially dictates how capable players are of moving past other players or taking the ball off them. Strength is most important when duelling other players to try and wrestle possession away, or when defending. That’s why you typically see strikers and center-backs with the most strength in each FIFA.

Here are the strongest players in FIFA 22 for you to flex with.

 

FIFA 22’s Strongest Players

Player	Club	Strength	Overall Rating
Adebayo Akinfenwa	Wycombe Wanderers	97	65
Daryl Dike	Orlando City FC	96	68
Tomáš Petrášek	Raków Częstochowa	96	67
Romelu Lukaku	Chelsea	95	88
Abdoulaye Seck	Antwerp	95	73
Armando Méndez	Nacional de Montevideo	95	70
Kalidou Koulibaly	Napoli	94	86
Sebastián Coates	Sporting CP	94	83
Geoffrey Kondogbia	Athletic Madrid	94	79
Artem Dzyuba	Free Agents	94	78
Pape Abou Cissé	Olympiacos	94	76
Christian Luyindama	Galatassary	94	75
Obbi Oularé	Barnsley	94	68
Florian Ballas	Erzgebirge Aue	94	68
Nicolás Ferreyra	Rosario Central	94	66
Uche Ikpeazu	Middlesborough	94	66

Adebayo Akinfenwa remains the strongest player in FIFA 22, a tradition in FIFA games that goes back roughly a decade. The Wycombe striker retains his 97 strength from previous games, even though he is nearing 40 years of age.

The second strongest players in FIFA 22 are Daryl Dike and Tomáš Petrášek, a striker and CB respectively, who each have 96 strength. Dike is only 21, so he may go on to be the next strongest player when Akinfenwa retires, if that ever happens.

There are three players who come in joint-third with 95 strength each: Romelu Lukaku, Abdoulaye Seck, and Armando Méndez. Lukaku is generally speaking one of the best players in the game anyway, and should arguably have the highest strength of anyone.

Then, finally, there are ten players who all have 94 strength in FIFA 22: Kalidou Koulibaly, Sebastián Coates, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Artem Dzyuba, Pape Abou Cissé, Christian Luyindama, Obbi Oularé, Florian Ballas, Nicolás Ferreyra, and Uche Ikpeazu.

While none of these players are the most skillful, they can still be very effective when playing direct football or if you’re defending with your back against the wall.

FIFA 22 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X | S.
