EA FC 26 Tallest Players

Tallest Players with Real Faces

If you value authenticity alongside physical stature, these six players are your best options. They feature real-world face scans, ensuring they look just as imposing as they feel on the pitch.

6. Tiago Çukur

Tiago Çukur has become a real aerial target for Fatih Karagümrük in the süper lig; at 196 cm his physical profile (OVR 62, POT 71) suits a hold-up striker role perfectly.

5. El Chadaille Bitshiabu

El Chadaille Bitshiabu already shows the kind of imposing presence you want at the back for RB Leipzig in the bundesliga — his 196 cm frame (OVR 75, POT 87) makes him a serious asset in defensive duels and attacking set pieces.

4. Tomás Palacios

Tomás Palacios brings strong physical tools to Estudiantes de La Plata in the liga profesional de fútbol; at 196 cm (OVR 67, POT 77) he’s the kind of centre-back who can dominate aerially.

3. Tyler Onyango

Tyler Onyango gives Stockport County a tall, sturdy presence at the heart of defence in England League One — his 196 cm (OVR 61, POT 72) makes him a reliable option for long clearances and set-piece defending.

2. Sebastian Otoa

Sebastian Otoa stands out for Genoa in Serie A with an imposing 198 cm frame (OVR 66, POT 74), a profile that’s useful both defensively and on offensive set pieces.

1. Isaak Touré

Topping the list, Isaak Touré is a true giant for FC Lorient in the ligue 1: at 206 cm (OVR 71, POT 79) he’s the kind of centre-back who can single-handedly alter aerial battles and make life uncomfortable for opposition forwards.

Final Whistle

Whether you’re looking for an aerial threat to target in Career Mode or a physical presence to dominate set pieces in Ultimate Team, these giants deliver.

Isaak Touré stands alone as the tallest with a real face, but players like El Chadaille Bitshiabu offer incredible potential alongside their height.

And for those willing to wait, the list of players without real faces—like Elias Egouli and Kelven Frees—represents hidden gems waiting to be discovered.
