[TOP 25] PES 21 Best CF Players who are Amazing!

Do you know Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 790 goals after playing 1080 games? On the other hand, after 935 games, Lionel Messi has 752 goals, 145 fewer games than Cristiano Ronaldo. These two magnificent forwards have been the best in our century and perhaps the greatest of all times.

Concerning forwards, they have significant abilities that distinguish the best from the others; goals are one of them. However, skills, leadership, agility, pace and penalties are other abilities that a complete forward should possess.

Below, we look at the best center forwards that PES 21 has seen so far. Forwards have a slight difference from strikers. A center forward is a complete player, can play deeper when needed, can become the target man, holds the ball, passes it around, and obviously can score.

A good example is Bayern Munich's Lewandowski. Don't get surprised when you cannot find your best player on the list, then. Our article will rank the best twenty-five center forwards.
