FIFA 16 have really done their job well. Here are the top 20 Nigerian players on the game.
20-Joel Obi 72: He’s sought pastures new after finally leaving Internazionale for good, and Torino fans ought to be delighted with their acquisition. Another pacey operator (83), Obi’s stats reflect his all-round qualities, even if he’s not exceptional in any one department.
19- Sylvester Igboun 72: The former Midtjylland moved to FC Ufa earlier this year and represents his new club as a left-midfielder on the game. He may let you down with his shooting and his passing, but a pace rating of 92 will ensure that opposing defenders are left terrified!
18-Godfrey Oboabona: 72: He may have been dropped by Sunday Oliseh, but the versatile Oboabona still retains some kudos with the FIFA 16 creators, getting a decent rating of 72, with physicality and pace his key attributes.
17- Odion Ighalo 72: After making such a major impact last season—and an encouraging start to life in the EPL—Ighalo receives a modest 72. It should still be high enough to convince Sunday Oliseh to take a look!
16- Jerry Mbakogu 73: After his glistening impact at newly-promoted Carpi, the new Serie A frontman is the highest-rated uncapped Nigerian on the game, getting a score of 73. 89 pace and 78 physicality make him something of a hidden gem on the game.
15- Raheem Lawal 73: After summer interest from AS Roma and Besiktas, it’s clear that Lawal’s stock is rising. This has been reflected in the FIFA 16 stats, with the Eskisehirspor midfielder getting a boost from 63 to 73 for the new edition.
14- Victor Anichebe 73: Despite being heavily linked with a move away from West Bromwich Albion this summer, Big Vic is still a Premier League player and could well have a role to play at The Hawthorns this term. A physicality rating of 77 doesn’t quite do justice to this tank of a frontman.
13- Sone Aluko 74: He may have struggled in the EPL last term with relegated Hull City, but Aluko remains a versatile frontman who can offer pace and invention.
12- Ideye Brown 74: The new Olympiakos frontman’s difficult year at West Bromwich Albion has led to a drop in his ratings, although he still chalks up a respectable 74.
11- Peter Odemwingie 75: After an injury-hit campaign last term, it’s intriguing that Odemwingie’s stats have been given a boost. At 75, and with 77 dribbling skills, he remains a fine contributor on the flank or through the middle.
10- Imoh Ezekiel 75: The one-cap wonder, it may surprise you, finds himself in some fairly exalted company with a rating of 75. That pace rating of 93 should encourage one or two gamers to take a punt in Ultimate Team mode.
9- Elderson Echiejile 75: With Layvin Kurzawa having moved on from AS Monaco, Elderson should get more chance to demonstrate his class at the Club of the Principality this term. He is a capable full-back even if his passing rating (63) leaves a little to be desired.
8- Ogenyi Onazi 75: The tenacious box-to-box midfielder has a respectable score of 75, with a broad, balanced spread of statistics reflecting the dynamism and all-round contribution he brings to the heart of the park for Lazio.
7- Anthony Ujah 76: Ujah has received a boost in the rankings following his fine season with Mainz, and a score of 76 sets him favourably alongside Nigeria’s other attacking options. He is a good all-round frontmen whose physicality will make him a handful for FIFA defences.
6- Ahmed Musa 76: Nigeria’s new captain has a score of 76, with a pace score of 89 and dribbling ability of 81 making him a menacing weapon out wide or through the middle.
5- Victor Moses 76: He may not have done enough to convince Jose Mourinho of his merit this season, but Moses’s score of 76 makes the Nigerian a valuable Premier League forward and a useful asset in Ultimate Team.
4- John Obi Mikel 77: Mikel’s rating has been reduced for FIFA 16, and he’s dropped down to 77 from last year’s 78 (back in FIFA 11, he enjoyed a rating of 82).
3- Ike Uche 78: The former Villarreal frontman has been given a rating of 78, with a lethal combination of pace 86 and dribbling 80 setting him apart as a frontman to be wary of. Another highly-rated player who has been overlooked for the national team for many of his peak years.
2- Obafemi Martins 79: Intriguingly, for a player who hasn’t been part of the national side for some time, Obafemi Martins is one of Nigeria’s top-rated players, receiving an overall score of 79. With a score of 91 for pace, he remains one of the fastest forwards on the game.
1- Vincent Enyeama 81: The LOSC Lille stopper—and arguably Nigeria’s one truly world-class player—is the only Super Eagle to receive a score over 80. With reflexes of 90, he is a ‘must-have’ between the sticks.
20-Joel Obi 72: He’s sought pastures new after finally leaving Internazionale for good, and Torino fans ought to be delighted with their acquisition. Another pacey operator (83), Obi’s stats reflect his all-round qualities, even if he’s not exceptional in any one department.
