FIFA 18: 5 forwards who should have been selected instead of Cristiano Ronaldo in TOTY
FIFA 18 has brought much excitement with it to the world of gaming, just as the franchise itself seems to do so successfully every year. This year, Ultimate Team has been on a roll just as much and FUT fans have been busy fighting it out for the top prize on that front. One of the most highly anticipated areas of FIFA 18 however has to be the release of FIFA 18 Team of the Year (TOTY).
The nominees for TOTY included a host of talented players who contributed largely to their individual as well as their club's success and rightly found themselves included in the nomination list for the prestigious honour of being in the TOTY.
The team itself was to be decided by athletes, media and members of the EA Sports FIFA Community, who would together vote from the 55 available nominees and bring out a seemingly unbeatable group of 11 players.
They did just that, and the result was quite astounding. With some truly special names on the list, it's hard to argue with the decisions. Except one maybe. Despite having a great first half of 2017, Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't kicked off this season. Here's a list of forwards who perhaps should have replaced the Portuguese in the team:
#5 Eden Hazard
Eden Hazard was instrumental in Chelsea's Premier League triumph in 2017 and further proved crucial to his side's Champions League group stage performance this season. The Belgian has been integral to the plans of Antonio Conte and has provided assists and goals for the Blues.
Hazard scored 16 goals in the Premier League last season from the wing position and teased defences to set up other forwards in the team. His efforts have earned him high praise and he could have easily taken the spot that Ronaldo currently owns on the TOTY.
