How to join two datasets without a common field

I have two datasets - I want to join them I guess like a union but don't know what the equivalent command is in FME. Feature merger doesn't work because I don't have a common field in both tables ie. AssetID in one table and AssetID in another. So basically it is a join on the geometry I am trying to do. What is the best way to do this?

A join on the geometry can be done using the NeighborFinder, one of the Overlayer transformers (AreaonAreaOverlayer etc) or the SpatialRelator.

Many options to do a spatial join (and I am sure I missed some more).

Spatial Relator was the best option and got the results I wanted - thank you
