FIFA 14: Top 10 players with the best heading accuracy

You wanna know the players with the best heading accuracy in FIFA 14 .. Read on ..

There are so many different things to look at when it comes to selecting players in FIFA 14. Attributes such as dribbling, passing accuracy, shooting ability, etc come into the picture. But Heading Accuracy is also an important factor, especially when you have wingers who are really quick. Going to the by-line and crossing the ball into the box would form a majority of your attacks. In such situations, having a player who can head the ball accurately is needed to convert such chances into goals. Here’s a list of the top 10 players with the highest Heading Accuracy in FIFA 14.

10. Nemanja Vidic (90)

With a heading accuracy of 90, Nemanja Vidic is number 10 on our list.

The Manchester United captain may be a central defender but nobody can doubt his abilities to head the ball when there is a corner or a free kick to be taken. He has a good jump and is strong in the air, which helps in ensuring that his headers are directed towards the intended target.

He’s won numerous trophies with Manchester United and has played a significant role in all the league title wins for his club.

If you want a strong leader and a strong header during set plays, Vidic is your man.

9. Daniel van Buyten (91)

Next on the list is Bayern Munich’s Daniel van Buyten.

In spite of Dante’s arrival, Bayern Munich persisted with van Buyten, which tells you how highly they rate him. He’s won 3 Doubles with the team while winning the Champions League last season and finishing Runner up twice.

He continues to be an integral part of the club’s plans, both offensively and defensively.

A player with lots of experience, he could prove to be a good signing for your team.

8. Aduriz (91)

The first striker on our list, Aritz Aduriz has a heading accuracy of 91.

A product of the Athletic Bilbao youth academy, Aduriz has had a good spell for all the clubs he’s played so far. Having played for Mallorca and Valencia, he returned to Bilbao and has become an important player for the team.

Though not prolific in front of goal, he pops in the box with important ones, that help his team in times of need.

If you want a cheap alternative that can connect headers from the crosses that come in, he’s your man.

7. Per Mertesacker (91)

Another Centre Back that makes into the list is Arsenal‘s Per Mertesacker.

The lanky German is known for his positional defending who makes the interceptions before the opposition players can make their move. Being a tall player, he has an advantage over most rival players as he can easily outjump them for headers in set pieces.

As a result, he is a very good option to have in the team, with his flick ons during corner kicks a major source of goals.

Definitely one you would want to have in your team.

6. Mario Mandzukic (91)

Surprisingly, only the second striker in the bottom 5, with 3 of them being defenders.

Mario Mandzukic is yet another player from Bayern Munich who makes it into the top 10. The Bundesliga star has a very good work rate, both offensively and defensively.

He’s a player who works very hard for the team, and his heading accuracy is an added advantage as it gives him another avenue to score goals.

If you are looking for a tireless player that can run the length of the pitch, Mario is the guy.

5. Graziano Pelle (92)

Now, we seem to have hit the stride with another center forward in the list, in the form of Graziano Pelle.

Pelle plays for Feyenoord and is the only player to represent the Dutch league in this list. He’s not had too much experience outside the Netherlands, except for brief stints in Italy. However, his heading ability is certainly very good, without a doubt.

Another striker that you can look at if you want to use headers as a major way of scoring goals.

4. Vilmos Vanczak (92)

Vilmos Vanczak is another player who is not from the Big 4 leagues in European football.

He plays for FC Sion in the Hungarian league and has a heading accuracy of 92. The fact that he beats a lot of other high profile players in this aspect tells you that he would be a wild card that you would want to have in your team.

Added to that, he perhaps wouldn’t cost you too much transfer money either.

Snap him up, and see the goals go in from all those crosses and set plays.

3. Fernando Llorente (93)

Now its time for the big boys. And kickstarting the top 3 is Juventus forward Fernando Llorente.

With a heading accuracy of 93, you can be sure that Juventus knew what they were doing when they bought this versatile striker. Not only would he be able to score goals in the traditional way, he will add variety to your team’s attacks, thanks to his excellent heading ability.

Definitely one to look for, and if you have the money, don’t hesitate to make a move for him!

2. Tim Cahill (94)

He is surprisingly the only midfielder in the entire list. But it does make sense, considering midfielders are more concerned about creating the goal than about scoring from a header.

And that’s why Tim Cahill’s heading accuracy of 94 makes him such a versatile player and a definite must have in your team. He has the ability to confuse the opposition defence as he can get in behind them and make the winger’s cross count.

Additionally, he will be a handful in set pieces, both in defence and in offence.

Definitely, a cheaper option than the others on the list.

1. Falcao (95)

Radamel Falcao needs no introduction. His stats speak for themselves.

Originally making his name playing for Atletico Madrid, he did very well at Porto as well. Monaco paid top dollar, close to 60 million Euros, for his services.

Being a tall striker gives him the height advantage, and adding his superior strength makes it easier for him to reach the crosses, beating the defenders in the air.

Falcao is surely a must have in the team!
