#7 Hatem Ben-Arfa (PSG/France)
What a rise this former Newcastle United and Hull outcast has experienced in last 12 months. Ben-Arfa is rated 84 in FIFA 17 and is one of the rare 5-star skill players in the game. Ben-Arfa exploded on the scene last season with 18 goals and 6 assists with OGC Nice in Ligue 1. He sealed a free transfer to PSG earlier this summer and will be a key player for both his club and country in coming seasons.
#6 Riyad Mahrez (Leicester/Algeria)
One of the most popular players in Premier League at the moment, Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez is a delight to watch when he gets going. Mahrez can leave the defenders running for cover when he gets his skill moves going. Last season, we witnessed Mahrez score 17 goals and set up 11 more for his teammates which have seen a huge jump in his ratings. Mahrez is rated at 85 in FIFA 17 and will be one of the few 5-star skill players from the Premier League.
#5 Franck Ribery (Bayern Munich)
Another Bayern man who is devastating when he gets on the skill train. Ribery is rated at 86 and has a rating of 90 when it comes to dribbling. FIFA 17 users will be after Ribery’s card in the Ultimate Team as Ribery can give any side an advantage over the others. One issue with Ribery is his stamina as often near the half-way mark, he starts to lack the pace and is not as effective. Given his 5-star skills and dribbling abilities, he can be an impact substitute for the gamers in FIFA 17.
#4 Angel Di Maria (PSG/Argentina)
As a Manchester United supporter, it pains me to see him on the list but there is no denying the ability Di Maria has on the ball. PSG have benefited from Di Maria’s ill-managed time at Old Trafford who is now giving his best for the Ligue 1 Champions. Di Maria is rated 87 in FIFA 17 with a rating of 87 in both pace and dribbling.
