Strikers are the heart of your attack in FC Mobile. A great one can turn half chances into goals and make a big difference in Division Rivals matches. The meta favors those with a blend of pace, dribbling, strong Weak Foot, and shooting traits like Finesse Shot or Long Shot Taker. These attributes allow them to score in various ways and stay dangerous against any defense.

Other Positions:
In EA Sports FC Mobile 26, the striker (ST) position is one of the most important roles in any lineup. The better your striker performs, the easier it becomes to convert chances into goals and win matches.
Several key attributes influence a striker’s gameplay, including Dribbling, Pace, Ball Control, Finishing, Shot Power, and Long Shot.
Dribbling is especially useful in one-on-one situations. A striker with high Dribbling and strong Pace can easily beat defenders and create space for a clean finish. Finishing determines how clinical your striker is inside the box, while Shot Power affects how quickly and forcefully the ball hits the net. Long Shot, on the other hand, measures accuracy from outside the penalty area, which can be useful against tight defenses.
Another crucial factor is Weak Foot. Strikers with a 5★ or 4★ Weak Foot are far more reliable when shooting from both sides, making them harder to predict and defend.
This isn’t part of the current meta since crossing and heading have been heavily nerfed. However, if you still prefer a crossing or aerial playstyle, pay attention to Heading, Jumping, and the striker’s height. When paired with the Power Header trait, these attributes can still make your striker a real threat in the air and capable of scoring from well-timed crosses.
Ultimately, the best striker for your team depends on how you play, whether you prefer fast counterattacks, possession build-up, or a crossing strategy. Pick one that fits your system, and you’ll notice an instant improvement in your attack.
Cheap Beast STs
Looking for a strong striker that doesn’t cost too much? Here are our top picks for cheap but beastly strikers.
Even though their base OVR might be lower, once you train and rank them up, their gameplay feels outstanding on the field.
| Name | OVR | Program |
|---|---|---|
| Eric Cantona | 104 | Winter Wonders |
| Kenny Dalglish | 104 | Ballon d’Or |
| Müller | 105 | Ballon d’Or |
| Völler | 104 | Trophy Titans |
| Michael Owen | 105 | Ballon d’Or |
| Butragueño | 104 | Ballon d’Or |
| Raúl | 105 | TOTY |
| Papin | 105 | Ballon d’Or |
| Son | 102 | Trick or Treat |
| Diogo Jota | 102 | Winter Wonders |
Please note that all these strikers need to be Ranked and trained to display their best gameplay. The higher their Rank and Training Levels, the better their gameplay becomes.
You must also activate Striker Skills using Skill Points to maximize their stats. Strikers have six types of skills to choose from: Shooting, Passing, Dexterity, Finisher (Unlocks after Shooting reaches Lvl. 3), Target Man (Unlocks after Passing reaches Lvl. 3), and Counter (Unlocks after Dexterity reaches Lvl. 3). Please read the complete guide on Skills and Skill Points here.
EA can adjust Strikers in FC Mobile with buffs or nerfs and they consistently introduce new and improved cards with each new event. Due to this, the list mentioned above is subject to change at any time. We’ll try to update this list of the top strikers in FC Mobile 26 regularly.

Aduriz is 98 not 99 and plays for Athletic Club not Bilbao
Please add EOE Gomez in this list!He is insaneeee
Vardy
Aduriz it’s better than Gomez, and better than them it’s Iñaki 99
Pls help whom to keep Benzema 99 Tottsf, Vardy 99 Tottsf, Weghorst 100 Retro Starts or Quagliarella 100 Retro Starts. (No worries about chemistry.)
Quagliarella is very bad because he has really bad agility. He responds so slowly to controls so always gets tackled.
lewandowski ,stats nd gameplay amazing.did u all hear that bayern defeated barc.what a stunning win for bayern.8-2
Has Aduriz been considered for the list?
Consider El Dorado Prime icon – Pele 104Ovr but Skill Boost is Agility. However all his stats are 135-140 with 0 Boost applied
Actually the best skilboost for hom becaus he can easily stun amy defenders
What about Ronaldo ovr 97 new icon? Acceleration – not best choice, but maybe anybody try him?
what is about Jesus 102 ovr from fa cup
is very good
Please add the new End of an Era st Aduriz. He is a beast if you’re a cross spammer because he has target man boost and power header trait. He also has really good shot power.
Is it really that Benzema UTOTSSF 96ovr is better than Benzema TOTSSF 99ovr ????
Please update Players Ranking
Lewandowski 105 is the second best player drogba not good
When upgraded to matching level, Haaland 92 (TOTSSF) is actually a better card than Haaland 99 (Bundesliga Rivals).

What about FA Cup Gabriel Jesus. He is a very nice card. PLS include him
How is Jimenez 89 TOTSSF player ? He has excellent shooting stats.

Where the hell is Eusébio ? HE is totally a beast. I have played with most of the above but Eusébio is the best !!!!!
I totally agre
Where is Aubameyang 96???
He has 120 pace, 120 shooting and 116 agility at his basic rating and 12 skill boosts. He is just real beast
Yes he is good, but misses few shots
How does he miss a few shots?
Why is Lewandowski 102Ovr below Benzema and Vardy ????
where is Dembele 96?
Best Skill Boost depends on your mode of play. Normally for pace and shooting its Second Striker and Finishing. But if u do more crossing and heading then what u want is Heading, Jumping and Strength(most important) along with Height. If ur ST is free in box then strength and height not important. But Strength is the key when your ST is marked by CB. Special trait like Power Header is needed if Shot Power of ur ST is below 90.
So if u r rarely cross and head then go for Second Striker and Finishing. If u r more of a cross-spammer then go for Poacher or Targetman. Larin 6’2 (Easter) and Vlahovic 6’5 (Golden Week) are two such examples with Strength of 120, Heading of 115-120 and Shot Power of 120+.
Recommended: If u play with 2 STs then have 1 Targetman or Poacher along with 1 Second Striker.
where is vardy ?
How about 102 Lewandowski TOTSSF, he is great
where is vardy 99 or benzema 99
