Almost every football fan has, in his life, tried his/her hands on the famous EA Sports game FIFA 17. Just like the teams they support, on the game they follow a certain style of play and all of them have a distinct approach to the game.
While some like the traditional pass and move, some prefer the aerial through root and some like a more direct approach of using a fast and furious winger to deliver in crosses for the tall and clingy forwards to capitalise on.

The accuracy of crosses plays as important role as the position of the forward and his heading ability. However, if the striker is tall, it becomes far more easy to head the ball into the goal.

So, if you’re in need of a target man in yout FUT or career mode team, here are six strikers who can act as one.
#6 Peter Crouch (6’7”, 201 cm)
The Stoke city forward, just a fortnight ago, made it to the list of 5 players who are slower than some of the goalkeepers in the game. And here, he has made it to one of the tallest strikers in the game.
While his height might be the reason that he is not as fast as some of his fellow forwards, it surely his strongest facet. That’s how Mark Hughes has quite often used him for the Potters as well.
#5 Henk Veerman (6’7”, 201 cm)
SC Heerenveen’s Veerman, if you are a bit short on budget, just about provides everything you require from a second-choice target man in your team. His positioning is 74, finishing 72, short power 72 and heading 72 as well.
Height, as we all know is quite impressive, and with age on his side (he is 25-years-old), he is not a bad option to have on the bench. Moreover, he his one of the strongest guys in the game with a rating of 92.
#4 Paul Onuachu (6’7”, 201 cm)
The FC Midtjylland forward is just 22-years-old and has a beast rating of 77, which is bound to increase with time. With heading rated at 70 and strength at 76, the Nigerian forward can be an interesting prospect.
Onuachu shot to fame after he scored his side’s winner against Manchester United in the Europa League last year. He even went on to say that he expected from a team the level of United.
Pretty bold coming from a 22-year-old!

#2 Fejsal Mulic 6’7” 203 cm

Mulic is fairly strong in the game with a strength rating of 89, and along with his 71-rated pace, his FIFA card does make for a decent rating. Unsurprisingly, he is one of the two tallest players in the game.

#1 Lacina Traore (6’7”, 203 cm)
The Ivory Coast striker is a fairly decent player in the game with pretty good numbers to his name. In addition to being the tallest striker in the game, Traore has an overall rating of 75 and a beast rating of 89.
A strength rating of 92, a 79-rated heading and 75-rated fishing, make him an above-par player, who because he doesn’t garner much of attention can be bought in the FUT for just 10,000 coins.
His work-rate is on the higher side as well, which makes him an interesting and cheap option to have in one’s team.
