Zlatan Ibrahimović is the Best Old Player in FIFA 22

At 40 years old, Zlatan Ibrahimović is playing like he‘s still in his prime. With an astounding 84 overall rating in FIFA 22, the Swedish legend is hands-down the greatest old player in the game.

Boasting 88 Finishing, 86 Shot Power, 85 Long Shots and 82 Vision at 40 years old, Ibrahimović can score from anywhere and pick out passes that players 10 years younger would struggle to see. His 83 Strength, 82 Jumping and 84 Dribbling make him a force to be reckoned with.

Compared to other aged veterans, nobody comes close to matching Ibra‘s output:

Even compared to players in their prime, Zlatan‘s scoring record last season at nearly 40 years old is exceptional. He is truly one of football‘s greatest anomalies.

In AC Milan‘s 2021/22 Scudetto winning campaign, Zlatan contributed an astonishing 8 goals in 23 league appearances – helping the Rossoneri to their first Serie A title in 11 years. And for Sweden in 2022 World Cup qualifiers, he popped up with clutch goals despite being a part-time player for his country.

Whenever Zlatan steps onto the pitch, all eyes are fixated on him. At 6‘5" with a strapping physique and muscular frame, he immediately catches your attention. But then when the ball arrives at his feet, he unveils remarkable technical poise, balletic movement, feints and flicks, and a striker‘s instinct of the highest order to create something out of nothing.

In my FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, Ibrahimović continues to amaze me every week with moments of genius – despite being surrounded by meta players 10+ years younger. His first touch and dribbling ability allows me to link play fluidly into the final third. And once within sight of goal, Zlatan is utterly clinical thanks to his Iconic finishing composure and technique.

So whether scoring acrobatic over-head kicks, long range thunderbolts, or predatory tap-ins, Ibrahimović delivers the goods in FIFA 22 just as he does in real life – even at 40 years of age where most players have hung up their boots years ago. He truly represents an icon that just keeps on giving.

As Milan manager Stefano Pioli said of Ibrahimović: "He is eternal, Ibra represents excellence." Teammate Rafael Leão called him "a leader for everyone" in the dressing room. While Thierry Henry claimed "It’s ridiculous" how good he still is at his age.

As Zlatan expands what is perceived possible in a footballer‘s twilight years, one can only speculate how long he can keep performing miracles on the pitch. But based on current form, he still has at least another 1-2 seasons competing at the top.

So in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, be sure to pick up Icon Zlatan Ibrahimović – the greatest old player in FUT and a leader your squad can rely upon. At just 15,000 coins on PS4, he represents amazing value for an elite striker. And more importantly, provides irreplaceable memories until the day he finally hangs up his boots.
