Memphis Depay is the best free-kick taker in the Premier League, according to FIFA 16.
The Manchester United youngster scores higher than any of the other potential contenders from English football's top-flight, including his team-mate Wayne Rooney, Manchester City's Yaya Toure, Everton's Leighton Baines and Tottenham's Christian Eriksen.
The 21-year-old, signed from PSV Eindhoven for £31m over the summer, is yet to score a set piece at his new club but was prolific around the box in last season's Eredivisie.
Depay is rated as the sixth best free-kick taker on the latest instalment of the popular football game, which will be released later this month.
The best on the game is another 21-year-old, Hakan Calhanoglu of Beyer Leverkusen. The video below shows just why he the young Turkey international scores so highly...
