FIFA 23: How good is Super Eagles and Napoli star Victor Osimhen?

Super Eagles of Nigeria star Victor Osimhen is currently courted by a host of elite clubs in Europe having established himself as one of the best young strikers on the planet.

The Napoli striker has been the biggest threat in Napoli’s attack joining from Lille in 2020.

The Nigeria international is having a great season at Napoli so far this campaign, having scored 22 times in 27 appearances while creating 4 assists so far this campaign, ultimately helping Napoli win their first Scudetto since 1990.

He has been heavily linked with a move away from the Serie A giants next season, with multiple clubs across Europe believed to be interested in him.

Osimhen is no doubt a real danger on the pitch, but many have asked the questioned if he is as lethal in virtual reality.

In this article, we review an in-depth analysis of the Super Eagles undisputed no.9 in the iconic video game EA Sports FIFA 23.

Victor Osimhen FIFA 23 Rating: Osimhen was awarded an OVR upgrade of +2 in the latest edition of FIFA 23, totalling up to a rating of 83 as EA Sports official website.

Not exactly underwhelming, but also not satisfactory, considering his individual exploits for the Blue outfit last season.

However, regardless of what EA Sports might have been thinking when he was awarded that OVR considering his talent, he has an impressive Career Mode potential OVR of 89 on FIFA 23.

In FIFA 23, Osimhen’s stronger foot is his right. His work rates are High / Medium.

Osimhen's FIFA 23 rating also sees him boast a four-star weak foot rating while holding on to a three-star for his skill move.

Osimhen’s ultimate traits in the game are his pace, physicality and shooting.

He is rated an incredible 90 for Pace, making his one of the fastest Serie A players in FIFA 23, 86 for acceleration and 93 for sprint speed.

Osimhen is also rated 81 for his physicality, 90 for his jumping - making him a serious danger aerially, strength - 85 and 81 for stamina in FIFA 23.

The Napoli star’s attacking traits are impressively highlighted in the game with his stats in front of goal having been awarded 85 for positioning, 88 for finishing, 79 for shooting, although that department deserves an 81 at least.

At the moment, Victor Osimhen's FIFA 23 rating makes him unarguably one of the best young players in the game.

He is also the highest-rated player in Napoli’s attack.

Victor Osimhen's FIFA 23 rating might not be a current reflection of the player he is now, but he is definitely worth the hype in the game, although some level of attention needed to be paid to his workrate and even shooting.

Generally, we expect EA to make a major upgrade to Osimhen’s current in-game stats in subsequent updates this season, and ahead of the launch of EA Sports FC in 2023.
