FIFA 23 Ultimate Team is back for another year with a new chemistry system, more players than ever, and game-changing new HyperMotion 2 gameplay. Getting started in Ultimate Team can be tough with so few coins, to begin with. The top players such as Mbappe, Ronaldo, and Neymar will be out of reach for a while, so it is best to look for the best bargain players.
This is where these top silver strikers come in. They can take your team to the next level at a low cost and with the new chemistry system, they are easier than ever to incorporate into your team.
Updated March 20, 2023, by Ritwik Mitra: FIFA 23 is being labeled by many fans as one of the best games in the series to come out in quite some time, which makes it even more bittersweet that EA and FIFA will be parting ways after this game. The manner in which everything from the core gameplay to set pieces has been polished makes each and every game a blast to play through. Players starting out in Ultimate Team will find their squad to be pretty barebones, but these Silver Strikers will help bolster an area that every team needs to work on — the attack.
14 Janis Antiste
Janis Antiste may not have the greatest overall rating, but players shouldn't let that take away from his abilities as a player. He's decently fast for a Silver player and can pick up balls deep before running at the defense and opening them up.
Players just need to ensure that they place shots properly, since striking from range with Silver strikers isn't really the best idea. That being said, Janis is still a decent addition to a developing squad until players move on to bigger and better things.
13 Jay Rodriguez
For a Silver striker, Jay Rodriguez is pretty well-rounded. This means that players can use him in a bevy of attacking positions if they lack quality players.
His shooting and dribbling are his strongest points, but the other stats he has are also pretty commendable in their own right. This makes Jay Rodriguez a great Silver player for FIFA 23 players to use in Ultimate Team.
12 Ezequiel Ponce
Ezequiel Ponce is a great Silver striker who can be a major threat in a competent attack. Players who realize the strengths of this player can tear through the opposition's defenses, unless, that is, the opposing team has too many quality players.
Ezequiel Ponce is decently strong in all areas, with his passing being his only weak point. As long as players don't expose this weakness and force him to link up play, they'll be pretty happy with what he can accomplish in the game.
11 Jordan Larsson
Out of all the Silver strikers players can have in Ultimate Team, Jordan Larsson is definitely one of the fastest of the lot. Given how much players love to use fast players to run past defenses in FIFA 23, it's easy to see why Jordan Larsson is considered one of the best Silver strikers in FIFA 23's Ultimate Team mode.
It helps that his other stats are also pretty great in their own right, even if his physicality may be a slight liability. Players who set up their team to counter will be well-serviced by Larsson's contributions to their developing team.
10 Timothy Weah
Timothy Weah is a name that will be recognized by football fans all over the world. He is the son of the current President of Liberia and former Balon D’or winner George Weah. Timothy is following his legendary father’s footballing path playing for Lille in Ligue 1.

He also has the finesse shot trait which makes him a real threat outside the box as well as in it.
6 Sekou Koita
Despite only being 72-rated Sekou Koita is a remarkable silver striker. The Malian striker plays for RB Salzburg in the Austrian first division, which might prove a challenge when getting him into a team. Despite his doping violation, EA Sports have given Sekou incredible in-game stats.
