FC 27 strikers: Best ST in Career Mode (Men's and Women's)

Now that EA Sports FC 27 is out in the world, you'll be wanting to know who the best strikers are to build your Career Mode team around.

After all, expected goals are not as useful as actual goals - every team needs someone that can actually bang in the goals (just ask my beloved Spurs... sob).

So, if your front line needs an extra piece of excellence, which players should you try and add to your squad? For the answer to that question, in both the men's and women's game(s), read on!

The best strikers in FC 27, in the men's game, are as follows:

• Kylian Mbappé | 91 OVR | Real Madrid, France
• Erling Haaland | 91 OVR | Manchester City, Norway
• Harry Kane | 90 OVR | Bayern Munich, England
• Ousmane Dembélé | 90 OVR | Paris Saint-Germain, France

Note: if you're looking for young players or cheap players, we've got separate guides about those! The top players in their positions will, of course, be expensive additions.
