by FM Guru Team FM Guru Team · Published 1 March 2021 · Updated 27 June 2022

Friends of Football Manager Guru, welcome back to the very useful FM 2021 player lists. Today we are going to give you a list of the best FM 21 centre forwards over 33 at the start of the game in August 2020. These have been ranked according to their current ability, i.e. the Current Ability Index.

We will follow the same style we used to tell you about the best FM 20 bombers over 33 years old, giving you a general overview of the criteria used, a brief focus on the top 3 players and the inevitable summary table.

Evaluation Method

The evaluation method chosen to build Football Manager 2021’s best over 33 central strikers list was created following the following basic rules:

Only players aged 33 or over as of August 2020
Players with a current skill index (CA) of at least 141

Top 3 FM 21 over 33 centre forwards

Lionel Messi & Cristiano Ronaldo

Ranked first and second respectively in this FM 21 top-five list, the two football geniuses are also battling it out in the Football Manager database. The Argentine is only one point ahead, but both are obviously real phenomena to be bought, if possible, at any cost.

Cristiano Ronaldo, from personal experience, always scores and like a sentence he arrives in the final scoreboard of every game.

Luis Suarez

In third place is Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez, who moved to Simeone’s Atletico Madrid this summer. After so many years at Barcelona and so many goals on Catalan soil, he has certainly not lost his habit in the capital Madrid.

An exceptional shot even at FM 21. To be taken!
