Several players in FIFA 22 have lots of stamina. Although Lionel Messi is the highest-rated player in the game, he has serious competition when it comes to this rating. Few players can match up to Messi, let alone catch up with his exceptionally high OVR in FIFA 22.

But they may have a chance when it comes to stamina, one of the most important statistics for a footballer. Those with great energy can stay on the field for extended periods while still performing at their best.

Lewandowski is the second-highest rated player in FIFA 22, and quite rightfully so. He had an exceptional 2020/21, which led to him having such a high OVR in-game. The 33-year-old Polish striker has been at the forefront of Bayern Munich's near-unstoppable run over the last decade.
