Shooting separates good teams from great ones. In EA FC 26, a high Shooting rating doesn’t just mean better shots — it changes how you build attacks, pick your Players, and plan Transfers.
Below we run through the Top 12 Men’s Football Players in the EA FC 26 for Shooting, using the exact stats provided.
For each player we explain what their Shooting numbers mean on the pitch and why managers and FUT builders should care.
Best 12 Shooters in EA FC 26
12. Julián Álvarez
Kicking off our list is Atlético de Madrid’s Argentine dynamo, Julián Alvarez. With an 87 Shooting rating, he is a threat from anywhere in the final third.
Álvarez mixes smart movement with clinical finishing (Finishing 88) and solid Shot Power (88). His Long Shots (86) and Volley skill (84) mean he’s dangerous both inside and outside the box — perfect for managers who want a striker who can arrive late and bury chances.
11. Mohamed Salah
The Egyptian King continues to be one of the most lethal finishers in the world, even from the wing with 88 Shooting rating.
Salah’s elite Finishing (94) makes him a nightmare in the box; his Penalties (88) and dependable Volleys (83) mean he offers finishing reliability from many positions.
For Career Mode and FUT, Salah converts half-chances into goals and keeps match-winning consistency.
10. Lautaro Martínez
A pure goal-poacher, Lautaro Martínez lives to score goals. His 88 Shooting is built on his elite ability inside the penalty area.
Lautaro’s clinical Finishing (93) and strong Shot Power (87) make him a natural goal threat. With a Volley rating of 92, he’s excellent at converting crosses and chaotic box situations — a striker who dominates inside the six-yard area.
9. Serhou Guirassy
Borussia Dortmund’s new target man, Serhou Guirassy, brings a formidable presence to the list. His 88 Shooting combines raw force with technique.
Guirassy pairs high Finishing (90) with brutal Shot Power (91). He’s the type of forward who intimidates defenders on counter-attacks and finishes with force — ideal if your tactic targets knockdowns and second chances.
8. Ousmane Dembélé
Playing as a striker for PSG has unlocked a new level of danger in Ousmane Dembélé’s game. His 88 Shooting is devastating, especially when combined with his electric pace.
Dembélé brings flair plus a deadly edge in front of goal (Finishing 90, Shot Power 91). His Long Shots (85) keep keepers guessing; he’s a versatile finisher.
7. Robert Lewandowski
The master technician remains one of the most reliable strikers on the planet. Robert Lewandowski’s 89 Shooting is a testament to his flawless technique.
Lewandowski’s Finishing (92) and high Shot Power (89) make him one of the most reliable scorers in any lineup. His Penalties (90) and Volleys (86) further cement him as a go-to option.
6. Alexander Isak
Liverpool’s Swedish forward, Alexander Isak, is a pure striker with a cannon of a his 89 Shooting rating. Isak combines excellent Finishing (91) with powerful Shot Power (91).
That mix lets him convert both precise chances and power shots from distance, giving managers a striker who can change games from multiple scoring zones.
5. Thibaut Courtois
Yes — Courtois appears on this shooting list with an unusually high Shooting number for a goalkeeper. While keepers rarely take shots in normal play, a goalkeeper with a high Shooting stat can be useful in many scenarios.
Real Madrid’s goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has been awarded an 89 Shooting rating, making him statistically one of the best shooters in the game.
4. Jan Oblak
Another goalkeeper listed with a top Shooting rating. Like Courtois, Oblak’s Shooting stat is a quirk rather than a gameplay staple.
Even more shocking is that Atlético de Madrid’s Jan Oblak has a 90 Shooting stat, placing him ahead of dozens of world-class strikers.
3. Kylian Mbappé
Back to reality, Real Madrid’s new superstar Kylian Mbappé is, of course, one of the deadliest finishers in football with his 90 Shooting rating.
Mbappé’s elite Finishing (92) and Shot Power (91) give him both precision and punch. His Long Shots (86) and Volleys (87) make him a complete shooter.
2. Erling Haaland
The Norwegian goal-scoring phenomenon is a force of nature. Erling Haaland’s 91 Shooting is all about overwhelming power and unerring accuracy.
Haaland is characterized by Finishing (94) and ferocious Shot Power (94). His Penalties (90) and Volleys (90) show he thrives in every scoring situation.
1. Harry Kane
The king of shooting. Topping the list is England’s captain, Harry Kane, the most complete finisher in world football with his incredible 92 Shooting rating.
Kane blends elite Finishing (93), serious Shot Power (91) and deadly Long Shots (89). His Volleys (89) and overall composure make him the quintessential complete striker — clinical in and around the box, and lethal from distance.
In EA FC 26, Kane’s Shooting rating alone makes him a transfer target in Career Mode and a meta-defining card in Football Ultimate Team.
Final Whistle
EA FC 26’s top shooters reshape how matches are decided — from Kane’s surgical strikes to Haaland’s raw force and Mbappé’s all-round finishing.
If you want consistent goals: build around a high-Finishing striker and supply him with creative midfielders.
If you prefer flair and distance: target players with excellent Shot Power and Long Shots. And don’t ignore penalty stats — in tight seasons and knockout moments, reliable penalties win trophies.
Whether you’re managing a club, hunting upgrades in FUT, or tuning your Gameplay presets, understanding these Shooting ratings helps you pick the players who’ll put the ball in the net when it matters most.
