Summary
EA Sports has revealed the official shooting ratings for EA FC 27, and the results have sparked plenty of debate. Despite being one of the game's biggest stars and cover athletes, Kylian Mbappé does not take the top spot. Instead, Harry Kane leads the shooting rankings, while Cristiano Ronaldo narrowly beats Lionel Messi in one of the most interesting comparisons on the list.
Kane Leads the Shooting Rankings
Harry Kane has the highest shooting rating in EA FC 27 with an impressive 94 SHO. His finishing remains one of his biggest strengths, making him an extremely dangerous option in front of goal.
Erling Haaland follows with 92 shooting, while Mbappé sits third with 91. Mbappé's overall card is still rated 91, with 96 pace, 92 dribbling and 95 finishing, but his 91 shooting means he cannot claim the top shooting spot.
The top of the shooting rankings currently looks like this:
Harry Kane - 94 SHO
Erling Haaland - 92 SHO
Kylian Mbappé - 91 SHO
Ousmane Dembélé - 89 SHO
Lautaro Martínez - 88 SHO
Cristiano Ronaldo - 88 SHO
Lionel Messi - 87 SHO
Alexander Isak - 87 SHO
Viktor Gyökeres - 87 SHO
Jude Bellingham - 86 SHO
Ronaldo Beats Messi Again
The biggest talking point may be the battle between Ronaldo and Messi. Although Messi has the higher overall rating at 89 compared with Ronaldo's 84, Ronaldo still holds the advantage in shooting.
Ronaldo receives 88 shooting, one point higher than Messi's 87. His card also emphasizes his status as a specialist finisher, while Messi's strengths are spread across passing and dribbling as well.
What Does It Mean for Ultimate Team?
These ratings could have a major impact on how players build their early EA FC 27 squads. Kane and Haaland offer elite shooting, while Mbappé combines excellent finishing with extraordinary pace and dribbling.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo's 88 shooting could make him an intriguing option for players looking for a clinical finisher. If you want to strengthen your squad and prepare for the new Ultimate Team cycle, having enough EA FC 27 Coins can also help you target key players and upgrades.
With EA FC 27 launching on September 25, these shooting ratings are likely to become an important factor when players decide which attackers to target for their Ultimate Team squads.
