FIFA 18: No Messi, Ronaldo in top 5 freekick takers in the game

1) Andrea Pirlo - 93

Andrea Pirlo has aged, but that has not had affected his free-kick ability

Despite being a footballing senior citizen at 38 years of age, the Italian maestro's ability on the ball has not diminished. While his legs may not carry him around as easily as they once did, they still possess the ability to caress the ball wherever they need to. This is especially applicable to free-kicks and dead ball situations, where the Italian's ability has improved, if not diminished.

In spite of playing in the footballing retirement home known as the MLS, Pirlo is still banging in the goals from dead balls. His undiminished free- kick ability sees him receive a 93 rating in FIFA 18, retaining his spot as the number one free-kick taker on the FIFA series.
