Rating in EA Sports FC 26 Are intended to catch how players perform in real football, but every year some names slide through the cracks. These are players who surpass their numbers on the pitch, which makes a bigger difference than their cards suggest. They create goals, win key figures or change games with their play style and decision -making, but their overall rating does not really tell the whole story.
Young talents like Arda Güler rose to Real Madrid with confidence and skill that does not match his rating. And Robert Lewandowski, despite being towards the end of his career, is still a goal at a rate that most strikers will envy. Players like these show that football is not just about heading numbers as goals and assists. The influence, timing, movement and pressure moments also play a role. When all of these are taken into account it is clearly EA Sports FC 26 have some to catch up. These players have earned more than their current rating shows.
Arda Güler
Real Madrid's creative spark deserves more recognition
Arda Güler is only 20, but he already delivers performances that suggest his FC 26 Grade underestimates him. His matchup number is impressive: shotguns and goal -creating actions put him among the best offensive midfielders for the same minutes. No one denies that Güler is the primary creative axis for Madrid's attack in many fixtures.
His shooting is 77, vision/suitable score is high, dribling is decent, while the pace is modest. But his real production in goal, assists and chance creation leans towards what you would see from many in the mid-80s. Since he does more than just promises, his finishing and calm statistics deserve a bolt. His positioning (attacking movements outside the ball) also deserves more weight. As a creative attacking mid that can also end, his card should reward both roles.
Robert Lewandowski
Lifetime and demand for demand respects
Robert Lewandowski is still one of the most reliable target machines in Europe, even as age progresses. In recent seasons he has received high volumes over competitions for Barcelona. While a certain decline is natural, his finishing, positioning and calm top level remains. Many of his comrades (forwards rated 89-90) do not surpass him in non-punishment per 90 in all competitions.
When you look at how often he gets into points positions and converts, the statistics indicate that his cards undervalued as permanent. His EA FC 26 The card gives him strong shooting and physical grades, but his pace is reduced (surprisingly). Still, the weaker pace numbers do not punish enough him, given that he still strikes defenders through positioning and anticipating movement. His card would be more accurate if his “closing under pressure” and perhaps “attacking positioning” attribute was slightly higher.
Claudia Pina
Great Match Artist, too often overlooked
Claudia Pina has already proven that she can deliver when the efforts are high. In important cup finals, she has scored crucial goals. She provides both goals and regularly helps Barcelona women and international games. Her target contribution per minute is strong compared to many Wingers in her class.
On her EA card, her shooting, dribling and attacking skills is good, but her end in narrow games, her calm under print and her attack positioning can be stronger. She often enters the box or edges to shoot at a distance. Because she not only creates but also ends and makes it reliable in big games, her FC 26 Grades should reward that clutch capacity. She belongs to Wingers in the 88-89th century.
Ademola Lookman
Have the beat, dribling and end to get higher
Lookman has a habit of deciding matches. In Serie A and Continental Fixtures he has delivered match -winning goals and assists. He gives direct dribble, smart movement and final product. In some matches he is as effective as players rated 86-87 or more.
On his EA card he is good at dribling and pace, but maybe undervalued in calm, finishing and positioning outside the ball. In narrow moments he often comes out in space and ends under pressure; Something his card should reflect. Given his real influence and texture over several matches in large leagues, a small upgrade would give his EA card more in line with what he really offers.
Salma Paralluelo
Great finisher, dribbler and runner
Salma ParalLuelo, still early in her career, already publishes impressive numbers. Her goal and assists per 90 minutes are among the best in her league. She scores in domestic play and in the Champions League matches. She mixes speed, skill and finishing.
Her EA card gives her high pace, decent shooting and good physical. But it probably undermines her outside the ball, ends under pressure, calm and creative threat. Since she is productive where she plays (domestic, European, country), her card should reflect the consistent production.
Alejandro Balde
Speed + Attack + Defense in a
Alejandro Balde combines electrical stands, attacking support and defensive work. On his current EA card, his pace is often among the top for defenders. But his intersection, defensive awareness, interceptions and endurance deserve growth. He overlaps, delivers crosses, recovers and contributes with transition games.
Many Fullbacks ranked higher do not have the same balance between threats and solidity. If his card rewarded both attacking influence and defensive reliability more equal, his overall would be more respectful for his real role.
Jean-Filte Mateta
An attacker who knows how to use his physique
Mateta provides height, strength, flight presence and finishing ability. In recent seasons, he has received enough to attract the national team's attention. Many defenders fight against him because he is tall and good with headlines, holds the ball and finishes clinically inside the box. In fact, for someone who does not play in the “Big Six” Premier League team, his goal has consistently matched strikers from these teams.
His EA card gives him good physical and photographed attributes, but his heading, positioning inside the box and calm under pressure probably delays the actual version. Given that he already delivers real goals and strong forward presence, the specific characteristics would better capture his real profile.
Olivia Smith
One of the most promising young talents in women's football
Olivia Smith made headlines when Arsenal signed her for 1 million pounds, which marked a new pile in women's football transfers. In her debut for Arsenal, she scored a fantastic goal directly in a 4-1 victory and was named the player for the match. Earlier, at Liverpool, she was top scorer in her team in her first WSL season even though she was not always in the dominant club.
Smith's versatility lets her play both strikers and wing roles. It gives her extra value. She is not only finished: she links games, uses pace and makes defenders switch. Her EA card is currently modest (79 in total). But given her score production at a young age, she should have a card that better reflects her potential and immediate effect.
Jeremy Doku
Elite dribbler and Speedster
Jeremy Doku stands out during the 2024-25 season for how often he tries to strike defenders with dribbles. He finished 15 roofs in a single Premier League match against Liverpool. It matched, or was close to matching, some of the highest numbers that any wing had in any match. He also led a distance: “The longest progressive distance” among players was 909.7 meters.
Skilled players like Dembélé, Vinícius Jr. and mbappe often get higher dribble statistics FC 26. But Doku has more completed roofs (in specific games and throughout the season) than many of them. He also generates a large number of chances in open play, especially when using progressive dribbles. Doku should be moved higher than its current rating (somewhere around 80) to maybe 83-84. The attribute to raise includes dribling, agility, ball control and calm. It would better match how often he creates danger by dribbling, not just sprint.
Marc Cucurella
Fullback does more than defense
Marc Cucurella's season 2024-25 shows that he is more than just a defender who stays back. Passing and ball circulation are strong points: he finished about 1,454 workouts during the season. His final level is high: about 88-89% in most matches.
In addition, his forward runs, overlapping drives and the ability to support attacks make him dangerous. Although his intersection success may not always be perfect, his attacking awareness and positioning help to create chances. He also defensively contributes: tackles, interceptions, distance and duels that won are consistently solid.
