Best Free Kick Takers in The Game

In real football, few players can match David Beckham’s skill when it comes to taking free kicks outside the penalty box. But how about in EA FC Mobile? Is Beckham still the best free-kick taker in the game?

In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at how free kicks work in FC Mobile and list the top players with the highest Free Kick attributes. This information is based on each card’s base stats, not ranked or trained versions.

How the Free Kick Stat Works

The Free Kick attribute measures how accurate a player is when taking a direct free kick. However, it’s not the only stat that matters. Other attributes also play an important role:

• Curve: Determines how much the ball bends when you apply spin. Players like Beckham or Messi benefit from this.
• Shot Power: Affects how fast and powerful the shot travels. Higher power helps when taking longer-distance free kicks.
• Finishing and Long Shots: Improve overall shooting consistency when hitting from outside the box.

A good free-kick taker usually has a strong balance of these stats. For example, Beckham has high Free Kick, Curve, and Long Shot ratings, which make his attempts both accurate and stylish.

Free Kick Styles in FC Mobile

There are two main styles of free kicks you can use in the game:

1. Finesse Free Kick
   This type bends the ball around the wall and works best for players with high Curve stat and Finesse Shot trait. It’s ideal for players like Beckham, Messi, or Ward-Prowse, who can consistently curl the ball into the top corner.
2. Driven Free Kick
   This is a more direct, powerful shot that travels fast and low. Players with the Powerful Driven Free Kick trait, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, prefer this style. It’s harder for goalkeepers to react to but less predictable in direction.

Choosing between finesse and driven style depends on the situation. A curled shot is better from closer range, while a driven one works well from 25–30 yards out or against taller walls.

Important Traits to Look For

Some player traits directly affect how free kicks behave. When picking your set-piece taker, pay attention to these key traits:

• Powerful Driven Free Kick: Enables low and fast free kicks, useful from long distances.
• Finesse Shot: Improves curling ability and shot control.
• Long Shot Taker: Helps improve power and accuracy from outside the penalty box.

A player with at least one of these traits will usually perform better in free-kick situations.

The Best Free Kick Takers

This list is based on each player’s Free Kick attribute. Remember that traits and secondary stats (like Curve and Shot Power) also influence real in-game performance. Players with the Powerful Driven Free Kick trait will tend to shoot lower and faster instead of using finesse-style curls.
