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...
Andrea Pirlo, who now plays for MLS side New York City FC, comes in second whilst Barcelona star Lionel Messi is fifth.
Check out the top 10 below...
FIFA 16 is released on 24 September in the UK.
