Our long journey into the beloved world of Fifa Ultimate Team, as far as buying advice is concerned, comes to an end. After having talked to you about the best Goalkeepers, the best Defenders, the Central Midfielders and the Outfielders (both offensive and midfield) stronger than ours Serie A it's time to take a look at Forwards.
Also thanks to the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Juventus, the qualitative rate of the role in FIFA 19 has increased dramatically, but let's calmly analyze everything. Are you ready to check out our Top 5 (with some extra tips)? Hold tight, the journey begins!
5 - Mario Mandzukic (84, Juventus)
In fifth place in our ranking we find the Croatian center forward of Juventus. "Super Mario" is a truly complete element, even if it does not scream a miracle in several ways, some of which are very important for an attacker (70 Speed, 75 Dribbling, 78 Shooting), the player defends himself more than well once on the field, being much stronger than he seems. The fact then that it is characterized by a thunder 85 under Physicality and an excellent 66 in Defense makes it even more an element of great compactness and solidity. It costs relatively little, and therefore it is really an almost obligatory purchase, even if only for the bench.

4 - Gonzalo Higuain (88, Milan)
The main flaws of a player who is actually absolutely lethal in front of goal can be found in the Speed (73) and Physical (74). Thanks also to the excessive effectiveness of the defensive AI recorded so far by FIFA 19, the player often becomes an easy prey for the opposing central players, despite being equipped with a Excellent shot (87) and good dribbling (83). The fact that he is not really a genius in terms of game vision (Passaggi 70) certainly does not help. It also costs a lot of money, which is certainly one more flaw. He is still a Mr. Player, but you can safely turn elsewhere.

3 - Ciro Immobile (87, Lazio)
The Neapolitan bomber of Lazio and the national team is certainly one of the strongest players around, in reality as in Fifa 19 and in Ultimate Team. Numbers in hand is absolutely devastating (87 Shooting, 82 Speed and Dribbling, 76 Passing) and in the field it is truly a fury. So why is it in third place? The answer is simple: we happened to use it with 4-3-3 and it was devastating, with something like 7 goals scored in 2 games. Moving on to 4-3-1-2 and, therefore, flanked by another striker, the good Ciro stopped scoring, almost always being out of position and lost in the middle of the field, in spite of all the tactical instructions assigned to him. He remains, however, probably the best player in the role in Serie A, obviously without considering the Juventus monster up front.

2 - Mauro Icardi (87, Inter)
The Argentine striker of Inter is experiencing a magical moment, and his videogame counterpart within FIFA 19 is also an essential element for any good team that respects himself. When we were referring a little while ago to having joined Ciro Immobile with another striker, we were talking about “Maurito”, a real “killer” in front of goal. Unlike Immobile, although the three main parameters on the card are lower (78 Speed, 85 Shooting, 79 Dribbling), Icardi is incredibly more efficient in the attack phase, with an impressive streak. Good head, with both feet and difficult to mark, Mauro Icardi is one of the players that we recommend most in general.

1 - Crisitiano Ronaldo (94, Juventus)
We do not believe there are particular doubts regarding the first position. From this year, Cristiano Ronaldo for FIFA is considered a forward (ATT and no longer AS) and, consequently, the palm of best forward is clearly his by right. The parameters are amazing (90 Speed, 93 Shooting, 90 Dribbling, 81 Passing and 79 Physical) and in the field it is even more so. The only real, huge, problem is that most mere mortals will never be able to afford it.

"Extra" Tips
Simone Zaza (82, Turin)
Simone Zaza is an extraordinary player, also considering a very low cost. The main parameters are truly excellent (79 Speed, 81 Shooting, 86 Physical and 77 Dribbling) and on the pitch represents a constant threat, especially in shooting from outside the box. As far as we are concerned, Zaza should be the tip of every “starting” team of every player.
Advised price1.500-1.800
Andrea Belotti (82, Turin)
Same team, practically identical parameters (only the Physicist is slightly lower, 84) and an equally valid performance on the field, also considering the market price, an excellent striker is Andrea Belotti. The "Rooster", however, is less cold in front of goal, but much stronger as regards the aerial game. If you are just starting your career in Ultimate Team and you like playing on the wings, then Belotti is the right man for you.
