Best STs in FC 27: The Ultimate Strikers to Lead Your Attack

Strikers occupy another pivotal position on the pitch, usually scoring goals and often stealing the spotlight in matches. Modern football, however, defines this particular role a bit differently. The role of a striker is much more than just scoring goals; it's defined by how someone makes the most impact in the opponent's final third. And that's when roles like Advanced Forward, False 9, and Poacher come into play.

While some stay up high on the pitch and focus on scoring goals, some act as decoys so that other members can exploit the space. And something similar goes on in EA FC 27. Knowing the list of Best ST FC 27 will help you get the upper hand over your opponent and capitalise on your opponent's backline. And they're also responsible for giving you that head start in high-intensity matches. From Isak to Mbappé, let's take a look at the list of the Best Strikers in FC 27.

Top 10 Best STs in FC 27 Career Mode

As we've discussed many things regarding the role of Strikers, FC 27 feature a bunch of players that cater to those exact roles. While some shine as False 9, some act better in the Poacher role. The likes of Mbappe, Haaland, Kane, and more top-rated players are there. On that note, let's take a detailed look at the list of top 10 Strikers in FC 27:

10. Alexander Isak

The Liverpool star is the final entry in our Best ST FC 27 list. The Swedish striker works better as a Poacher and exploits his 81 Pace and 87 Shooting. Unfortunately, EA Sports haven't provided him with any PlayStyle+, but 82 Dribbling is something that proves to be beneficial during crucial moments. He can be an asset since he's a lengthy-type player on the virtual pitch.

9. Lautaro Martínez

The Argentine beast Lautaro Martínez is also one of the best strikers in FC 27. El Toro features an Enforcer+ PlayStyle, which is very unusual for a striker. Gamers, however, can exploit a decent 74 Physical to keep possession in the opponent's final third. Meanwhile, he also features 88 Shooting and 85 Dribbling. And that can help him score some long-range bangers in both Ultimate Team and Career mode matches. Check out our recent coverage of FC 27 Inter Milan Player Ratings to see Lautaro's other teammates.

8. Sophia Wilson

The Portland Thorns star Sophia Wilson has been on the top 10 strikers in FC 27 list for the last couple of iterations. She's one of the best strikers out there, and EA has given her card a First Touch+ PlayStyle. Gamers can exploit the PlayStyle along with 88 Dribbling and 87 Shooting to outplay top-rated defenders. Meanwhile, she can also utilise her 91 Pace to outrun the center-backs on the virtual pitch. She mostly excels in the False 9 role. Therefore, she can track back to the opponent's final third after dropping deep to help in build-up.

7. Melchie Dumornay

Melchie Dumornay is another striker who excels in the False 9 role and drops deep to help her team build up attacks. She also has 92 Pace along with Game Changer+ PlayStyle, which is a game-breaking combo that gives you the edge against your opponent. She's definitely a budget striker if someone's looking for a great striker at an affordable price. Meanwhile, let's not forget how gamers can also utilise her 85 Shooting and staggering 90 Dribbling on the pitch. Overall, the explosive budget striker is every defender's nightmare.

6. Ewa Pajor

The Polish striker, Ewa Pajor, has an increased OVR (compared to last iteration) and has found her way into the FC 27 Best ST list. Apart from Isak, the Barcelona Femeni star is another budget poacher one can use in both Career mode and Ultimate Team. While this controlled-type striker can exploit 93 Pace and beat defenders, she can also utilise Chip Shot+ to confirm the ball hits the back of the net. Other than that, 91 Shooting and 89 Dribbling are something that makes her a budget beast. Make sure to go through our recent coverage of FC 27 Liga F Player Ratings to see her other teammates leading the chart.

5. Khadija Shaw

BWSL top scorer Khadija Shaw also features a few staggering attributes that make her a top contender in this list. If you're looking for a budget Target Man, she's the answer to your prayers. She does have 88 Physical, and gamers can pair it up with Enforcer+ PlayStyle to keep possession of the ball to themselves. She has 90 Shooting and 81 Dribbling, making her the perfect number 9 to link up with her teammates. The only drawback is her Pace (79). While the likes of Shaw might be beneficial in Career mode matches, she can cost you a fortune in Ultimate Team.

4. Harry Kane

The star English player and the 2026 Ballon d'Or contender, Harry Kane, is number 4 in our FC 27 Best ST list. The Bayern Munich star has the highest Shooting stats among all strikers in our list. He's one of the affordable strikers where gamers can actually exploit Finesse Shot+ with 94 Shooting. Meanwhile, 83 Passing and 82 Dribbling are also decent enough to make some key passes during build-ups. The only drawback of his card is his pace. And for that reason, the likes of Kane might cost you a fortune, especially during counter-attack runs. Go through our FC 27 Bayern Munich Player Ratings to check out his teammates.

3. Ousmane Dembele

Two-time UEFA Champions League and Ballon d'Or winner Dembele is also one of the best strikers on our list. Even though he's mostly used as a winger, his 90 Pace, 89 Shooting, and 93 Dribbling make him the perfect candidate as a striker. You can utilise him as a False 9 for mini build-ups to score a perfect goal. Meanwhile, his Finesse Shot+ can be a nightmare for the opponent if gamers exploit his Shooting and Dribbling attributes.

2. Erling Haaland

The best strikers in FC 27 list would be incomplete if we don't mention this Norwegian goal-scoring machine. An 87 Pace and 89 Physical are enough to keep possession and put additional pressure high on the pitch for this lengthy-type striker. Meanwhile, the combination of Low Driven Shot+ and 92 Shooting will be deadly in both Ultimate Team and Career mode matches. Even though he's a bit costly on the transfer market, he's the only Advanced Forward player you can add to your squad without spending a dime. Check out our recent coverage of FC 27 Manchester City Player Ratings to see how fierce the squad is.

1. Kylian Mbappé

The talismanic Frenchman and goal-scoring machine, Kylian Mbappé, is the Best ST FC 27 on our list. And his current transfer market price (in FC 27) is enough to justify it. While EA seems to cater towards an explosive meta from the start, he's the perfect candidate to exploit the Rapid+ PlayStyle, along with 96 Pace. He's also the fastest player among the best strikers in Career mode FC 27 list. Apart from his signature Pace, gamers can also utilise his 91 Shooting and 92 Dribbling to finish any match with a big scoreline. The Frenchman can be best utilised in an Advanced Forward role. Keep an eye on FC 27 Real Madrid Player Ratings to see his team mates.

That's all from our side regarding the FC 27 Best STs in both Ultimate Team and Career mode. Do note that we've only mentioned the Gold rarity cards, and the ranking factors mostly depend on the OVR. We, however, considered a popularity factor and skipped a couple of strikers from the database. It'll be interesting to see how the current meta treats these cards, as a few of them already got their hands on the title.
