Typically, FM17 ratings for players were pretty much spot-on and allowed the algorithm to simulate real life-like outcomes for most leagues, usually. But with every winter update even they rethink some players, e.g. Eric Bailly started off as a modest 145/159 (CA/PA) virtual unknown in the November release but blew up into a 150/165 potential world beater in the latest DB. Same applies to 2016/17 stalwarts Van Dijk and Belotti. So my question is: who do you guys think will be the top 10 strikers in FM18 according to their attributes alone, and what custom rating (CA/PA) would you give each one of them, 1 to 10, in descending order? I would like to see how your own scouting differs from mine and how far apart our opinions are from those of the developers.
E.g.
Top 10
1. R. Lewandowski 186/186
2. L. Suárez 185/190 (highest potential)
3. S. Agüero 179/185
4. G. Higuaín 179/179
5. A. Griezmann 177/182
6. P. Aubameyang 171/171
7. H. Kane 170/178 (ask Antonio Conte)
8. D. Costa 169/173
9. K. Benzema 168/175
10. R. Lukaku 163/172
