England and Liverpool’s darling Michael Owen shot out to the limelight at a very young age. One of the most lethal strikers of his generation, his career again was cut short by recurring injury problems. In FIFA 06, Owen just failed to breach the 90-mark as he earned an overall rating of 89.

The striker, who had just joined Real Madrid from Liverpool, had to play second fiddle to a brilliant Ronaldo. Still, he managed to score 13 league goals in that season. The Madrid team itself comprised of very fast players but Owen was one of the fastest in the squad.

In the game as well, this attribute of his is reflected. With 97 pace and 96 acceleration, Owen could run past the opposition in the game (and in real-life) without breaking a sweat.
