Here is a look at the top 10 highest rated forwards one can use in different game modes of FIFA 22.

10. Luis Suarez - 88

Atletico Madrid striker Luis Suarez has a rating of 88 in FIFA 22. The former FC Barcelona striker was vital in the La Liga outfit’s league triumph in the 2020/21 season. The striker had a rating of 87 in the previous edition. The boost is well-deserved for the veteran striker who achieved so much success last season.

9. Sadio Mane - 89

Liverpool’s Sadio Mane has a rating of 89 and is the joint-top rated forward in Liverpool’s squad. The Senegalese international scored 16 goals and provided nine assists last year and continues to play an important role in the team. However, Mane had a 90 overall rating and has suffered a loss of one point in FIFA 22.

8. Karim Benzema - 89

The Frenchman has a rating of 89 overall points in FIFA 22. The 33-year-old is ageing like fine wine and has 15 goal contributions (eight goals and seven assists) in first seven games of the season for Real Madrid, making them the early favourites to win the La Liga title.

Karim Benzema had a strong outing at Euro 2020 after making a comeback to the French national team. He was 89 rated in FIFA 21 as well, therefore maintains his stable rating.

7. Mohamed Salah - 89

Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has a rating of 89 and is a very popular pick in FIFA games. The speedy winger scored 31 goals and made six assists in all competitions last season. However, he lost one rating point from 90 in FIFA 21 to 89 in FIFA 22 which was upsetting to a huge section of Liverpool fans. 

6. Harry Kane - 90

England and Tottenham Hotspur captain Harry Kane is the next player in the list with a rating of 90 in FIFA 22. The striker had brilliant individual performance last term, scoring and providing 33 goals and 17 assists respectively. Kane had a rating of 88 in FIFA 21, so an improvement of two overall points is a fair reward.

5. Neymar Jr - 91

Heading into the top five forwards in FIFA 22, Neymar Jr is next up on the list. The Paris Saint-Germain star and the most expensive transfer in the world has a rating of 91 overall points. The Brazilian had a rating of 91 in the previous edition too, therefore maintains his rating.
