Pick Man Utd for finishing, Arsenal for pace when it comes to FIFA 14

Manchester United are the Premier League’s best goalscorers, while Arsenal are the top flight speed merchants.

That’s if the player stats for FIFA 14 are to believed.

According to the game, United boast three of the Premier League’s top five finishers. Robin Van Persie, Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney are all in the list. They’re joined by Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero and Tottenham new boy Roberto Soldado.

The full top five is:

1. Robin Van Persie (Manchester United)

2. Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)

3. Roberto Soldado (Tottenham Hotspur)

4. Javier Hernandez (Manchester United)

5. Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)

For pace, Arsenal lead the way in the Premier League. Theo Walcott and Ryo Miyaichi are named as the two quickest players in the league ahead of Newcastle’s Loic Remy, Spurs’ Kyle Walker and Aston Villa’s Gabriel Agbonlahor.

But Walcott can only make it to third quickest on the game overall. Apparently, he’s a bit of a slouch compared to Jonathan Biabiany, of Parma, and Mathis Bolly, of Fortuna Dusseldorf.
