With just a little over two weeks until the release of EA SPORTS FIFA 17, the game creators have continued to drop tasty nuggets of what's to come. On Friday, EA dropped the list of top 10 players ranked for strength and physicality, and multiple MLSers made both those final cuts.
Strongest players are rated "on their ability to overpower and hold off the opposition," according to EA, and the Vancouver Whitecaps' Kendall Waston comes in at the tenth-best to do so in the game. The Seattle Sounders' Roman Torres clocks in at number three on this list.
And perhaps a surprising dark horse? FC Dallas' Colin Bonner, their pick in the third round of the 2016 MLS SuperDraft. He comes in at number eight on EA's list of top-10 strongest players in FIFA 17.
(Meanwhile, there's absolutely no surprise about who topped the list -- again, it's fan favorite Adebayo Akinfenwa, known to some as "the Beast.")
Now, let's move on the list of top 10 FIFA 17 players ranked for physicality, which EA explains as "a measure of key physical traits such as strength, stamina, and jumping."
Over here, Columbus Crew SC's Tony Tchani clocks in at number 10. LA Galaxy defender Jelle Van Damme, meanwhile, ranks at number five (ahead of Chelsea's Diego Costa, at number seven!).
Check out the full top ten lists for both strength and physicality in FIFA 17on the EA site.
