Free kicks are one of the easiest ways to score in Fifa 12, a well taken shot will leave the opposing goalkeeper stranded, wondering what has just happened. One of the easiest ways to score a free kick is having a specialist free kick taker. I tried not to include IF players in here, Naldo is the only exception. Many people have been wondering who the best are, so without further ado, here they are:
