CF stands for Center Forward. In football, CF can be a target man, hold the ball up, or send the ball to the strikers. Usually, CF plays behind the strikers and in front of CAM or CM.
On FIFA Mobile 23, players with CF positions are less desirable because not many formations use this position. From a total of 27 formations in FIFA Mobile, there are only 3 formations that use CF; 3511, 4411, and 433 False 9.

In VS Attack mode, CF players are rarely used because of the limited formations. However, in H2H where OVR isn’t too important, they are more useful because they can be placed OOP (out of position).
Just like Strikers, the best skill boosts for CF are Second Striker and Finishing.
Here is the list of the best CFs on FIFA Mobile 23. We will add the latest TOTS Players to the list after the event ends.

Please note that some may need to train to certain OVRs in order to show their best gameplay.
EA also can do buffs or nerfs on CFs in FIFA Mobile, and EA always releases new cards along with the new events, so the list above can change at any time. We will try to always update the list of the best CFs in FIFA Mobile 23.

100 ovr ucl hazard(lw) is an amazing cf, in H2H, especially against attacking teams.
Swaghil says
Where’s richarlison? One of the best players I have used. I don’t use him anymore as he’s only 86 ovr but he’s definitely one of the best.
