FC 26: Dominate your Ultimate Team! Choose from the best strikers in EA FC 26

FC 26 ratings are being released, signaling the game's imminent release. Discovering the best strikers in FC 26 Ultimate Team and Career Mode is crucial now, allowing players to start planning their Ultimate Team lineups, as only the best strikers can score a goal, effectively winning the game.

Thus, in both Career Mode and Ultimate Team, players consider the striker one of the most important positions in their team. This is because a strong striker can help a team win matches, help fans advance to the FUT Champions League, dominate Division Rivals, and help a team achieve the dream of qualifying for the Champions League in Career Mode.

Who are the best strikers in EA FC 26?

A striker's most important skills are shooting, pace, and dribbling. Passing and physicality are important, but these skills have limited impact on a striker's effectiveness in FC 26. Therefore, these three skills are crucial if you want a striker to achieve a near-perfect goalscoring rate. Let's take a look at the best strikers in FC 26.

1. Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid)

Unsurprisingly, Kylian Mbappé tops the list. The Real Madrid player boasts impressive attributes, including 97 pace, 90 shooting, and 92 dribbling. Furthermore, Mbappé possesses a four-star weak foot, four-star skill moves, and a quick-step-plus style of play. Mbappé is the striker every football fan dreams of owning. He excels in long shots, close shots, one-on-one situations, headers, and dribbling. This Real Madrid player excels and is undoubtedly the best striker in football history.

2. Haaland (Manchester City)

Haaland has 86 pace, 91 shooting, 80 dribbling, and 88 physicality. However, the Manchester City star's footwork is weak, with only three star-level skill moves. If you value a striker who can play with his back to the goal and overwhelm defenders, Erling Haaland is your best choice. While his dribbling ability isn't as good as the two French superstars, the Norwegian bot can easily dribble past opponents using his physical advantage.

3. Dembélé (PSG)

Ousmane Dembélé, who had an outstanding season, is a strong candidate to win his first Ballon d'Or. The goalkeeper, part of Paris Saint-Germain's all-time strongest lineup, performed exceptionally well in FC 26, with a speed of 92 km/h, a shooting speed of 88 km/h, and a dribbling speed of 93 km/h. Dembélé's five-star technical moves and weaker footwork make him a top pick in some eyes.

4. Ewa Pajor (FC Barcelona)

Eva Pajor proves that high ratings don't guarantee high quality. FC Barcelona's lethal striker has a higher OVR than some players. However, Pajor's performance in speed, shooting, and dribbling is clearly superior to others. Even Pajor's three-star weak foot and skill moves aren't enough to hinder his excellent attributes and playstyle. Having Finesse Shot+ elevates this card to a new level.

5. Sophia Wilson (Portland Thorns FC)

Sophia Wilson's dribbling, finishing, and pace are all impeccable. With her 92 pace, Wilson can quickly outsmart opponents and easily find herself on the scoresheet. Furthermore, her 89 shot rate ensures she'll find the net nine out of ten times. While the Portland Thorns star may not be among the four highest-rated forwards in the game, her traits, playstyle, skill moves, and weak foot rating are all very appealing.

6. Viktor Gyökeres (Arsenal)

This young striker from Arsenal is unstoppable in FC 26, and with the help of Enforcer+, defenders will have a hard time getting the ball off him. Since he's a video game player in real life, his virtual counterpart is also quite absurd. He boasts an astonishing 90 pace, 86 shooting, 81 dribbling, and 91 physicality, and these same qualities are true in real life. Gyökeres' immense power and speed are a fearsome threat to center-backs.

7. Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan)

This Inter Milan star, Lautaro Martinez, excels in this card thanks to his 81 Pace, 88 Shooting, 84 Dribbling, and 83 Physicality. Martinez also excels in front of goal, with an 88 Composure and a 93 Shooting. His goal-scoring prowess makes him an excellent striker for any team in the FC 26 League.

8. Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray)

Osimhen is already a well-known player for Galatasaray, consistently named the best striker. With 92 Pace, 84 Shooting, 81 Dribbling, and 84 Physicality, Osimhen is able to swiftly pierce defenders, remain unafraid of even the strongest, and skillfully finish in front of goal.

9. Julián Alvarez (Atletico de Madrid)

In FC 26, Alvarez performed exceptionally well, with 85 Pace, 87 Shooting, and 87 Dribbling. The Argentine excels in front of goal and has a lot of potential in his career.

10. Alessia Russo (Arsenal)

Russo isn't the fastest player, with a pace of only 82, but her 88 and 87 Shooting make up for it. His 90-yard attacking range makes him an excellent striker. This demonstrates Russo's excellent running, staying in the game, and often finding the finishing position. Russo is an ideal striker, always appearing at the right time and able to convert goals.

Which players are included in the EA FC 26 Honorable Mentions?

Every player has their role in real life, but some players don't excel in the virtual field. For example, players like Harry Kane, Lewandowski, Isak, and Ekitik possess good overall qualities but lack certain key skills, most commonly speed. Therefore, it's difficult to place a striker with a speed index below 75 in the top ten, especially given the abundance of other exceptional players.

Thus, even if their shooting is exceptional, a player with a speed index in the 60s or 70s wouldn't qualify as a top or elite striker in FC 26. Considering these top strikers in EA FC 26, whether you're making your team's ultimate starting lineup or just starting your own career, it's important to stock up on enough EA FC 26 Coins to include one in your lineup.
