10 bargain strikers you need to sign in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team
The best goalscorers you can buy on a budget in FUT 19.
There are hundreds of superb finishers at your disposal in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team, but the best players often command the highest fees, however, making it tough to acquire them for your side.
Fortunately, there are plenty of bargains to be found. We’ve picked out 10 cheap strikers that boast excellent stats for pace, shooting, dribbling and much more, and should prove a lethal force in Division Rivals and beyond.
1. Luis Muriel (1.5k)
27-year-old Muriel excels in FUT 19 due to his high pace stats – his sprint speed clocks in at the 90-rated mark. You’ll also get excellent dribbling skills out of the Fiorentina (on loan from Sevilla) forward, including an 85 in agility. Muriel only goes for around 1.5k on the transfer market despite his superb goalscoring skills, and he also benefits from a four-star weak foot in attack, making him a lethal threat in front of goal.
2. Alexandre Lacazette (6.5k)

As well as sporting high work rates and four-star skills/weak foot abilities, Lacazette also has superb positioning, agility and composure attributes. He’s a great fit for any starter Premier League side, bagging plenty of goals with consistency, and only costs around 6.5k coins to acquire on the transfer market.
3. Wilfried Zaha (1k)
We recently highlighted Wilfried Zaha as one of FIFA 19’s most overpowered players, causing havoc for opposition defences in CAM, CF or ST roles. The 82-rated Crystal Palace star is a CF by default in Ultimate Team, but you can always convert him into a striker, helping to make use of his absurd 91 pace and 87 dribbling stats. He’s super cheap at a bargain price of 1k, and you’ll even be able to benefit from his five-star skill moves along the way.

Torino striker Belotti is another bargain buy at just 1.5k coins on the FUT 19 transfer market. The 82-rated Italian benefits from a well-rounded style in attack, with his physical stats proving a key highlight of his game. Belotti can outmuscle defenders with high effectiveness due to his 84 strength and 83 jumping attributes, while his massive 88 finishing combined with a five-star weak foot make him utterly lethal in front of goal.
5. Marko Arnautović (1.5k)
West Ham forward Arnautović is a perfect signing for EPL starter sides in FUT 19 – a well-rounded striker who excels in most areas of his game. The Austrian star is notable for his excellent ball control, strength and shot power, but he’s also proficient in everything from crossing to free-kick taking when required. Arnautović can be converted into a highly-effective CF or CAM due to his balanced qualities and long range shooting skills.

7. Rodrigo (7.5k)
The priciest entry on our list is Valencia striker Rodrigo, but he’s very much worth the outlay. The 84-rated talent excels due to his 90 pace, capped off with a massive 92 in sprint speed. The Spanish star is excellent at finishing, too, boasting 84 positioning, 83 shot power and 83 heading accuracy stats.

He’s just as good as you'd expect, sporting attributes such as 92 agility, 91 balance and 88 positioning.

9. Wissam Ben Yedder (1k)
We’ve listed French striker Ben Yedder as a 1k signing, but he often goes for less on the transfer market.

The Sevilla star, who scores goals for fun in FUT 19 due to his 83 shooting and five-star weak foot abilities, is a constant threat in attacking positions, benefiting from 87 positioning and 84 dribbling attributes.
