FIFA 23 will be a strange one as Akinfenwa has retired. The Wycombe forward has been one of the strongest players on FIFA for a very long time, it’s part of the foundation of his whole personal brand.

Going into FIFA 23, there will be a new strongest player. Strength is a player’s ability to deal with physical battles, it’s traditionally found in defenders and helps with their ability to make a challenge.
The stat is very useful for forwards and how well they hold up the ball. If a player has high strength and their other stats are high too, they are a huge handful for defenders.
Going into FIFA 23 it seems likely that these players will boast the highest strength stat in the game. Some will get specials in Ultimate Team on FIFA 23, while others will be good youngsters for a Career Mode.
Who is the Strongest Player in FIFA 23?
| Name | Nation | Club | Overall | Strength |
| Tomáš Chory | Czech Republic | FC Viktoria Plzen | 73 | 96 |
| Daryl Dike | United States | West Bromwich Albion | 71 | 96 |
| Abdoulaye Seck | Senegal | Royal Antwerp | 71 | 95 |
| Duvan Zapata | Columbia | Atalanta | 83 | 95 |
| Armando Méndez | Uruguay | Newell’s Old Boys | 70 | 95 |
| Tomáš Petrášek | Czech Republic | Raków Częstochowa | 69 | 95 |
| Romelu Lukaku | Belgium | Inter Milan | 86 | 95 |
| Kalildou Koulibaly | Senegal | Chelsea | 87 | 94 |
| Niklas Süle | Germany | Borussia Dortmund | 85 | 94 |
| Luca Pfeiffer | Germany | VfB Stuttgart | 71 | 94 |
The most desirable player on this list going into FIFA 23’s Ultimate Team will be Kalidou Koulibaly. He has just got a big move to Chelsea, while his combination of pace and strength is the perfect blend for a Centre Back.
Lukaku is the only other player on the list that Ultimate Team players will want. He is back in Serie A this season after his disappointing move to Italy. His stats may get a slight reduction in FIFA 23, after last season, but he will still be one of the best Strikers in his league.

The rest of the list is not made up of great players for FIFA 23’s Ultimate Team, but Daryl Dike in particular could be a great signing on a Career Mode. He has been tipped for a big year this season at West Brom and he looks like one for the future.
