Who Are The Best 86 Rated Players In EA FC 26?
Among the 86 OVR Gold Rare players, the mentioned Nuno Mendes, Nico Williams, and Claudia Pina are joined by Tijjani Reijnders as the best in FC 26. The former is also, in my view, the best LB within his class and price range (around 150K). When looking at the game’s whole 86-rated cast, though, the CDM duo of Ramires and Matuidi then steal the show. To recap and add to that, here are the best 86-rated players in EA FC 26, divided by their price.
-
Under 100K
- Claudia Pina (LW): Pina’s Low Driven Shot+ and dribbling excellence make her a menace, especially for those who don’t mind making use of the game’s infamous spinning meta.
-
Under 500K
- Ratings Reload Salma Paralluelo (LW): Her high PAC, SHO, and ability to excel in all up-front positions make Paralluelo the perfect winger. Her synergy with Pina also makes her a great pick for those looking to build an attacking trio for less than 800K.
-
Under 1M
- Hero Ramires (CDM): Among the best holding and box-to-box midfielders in the game. Capable of easily dealing with any threat via its Intercept+ PlayStyle and stat selection.
-
Over 1M
- Hero Blaise Matuidi (CDM): Arguably the game’s best Holding midfielder, second only to Patrick Vieira. Feels handmade for its current CDM meta.
