The Elite 5-Star Skillers
Some players are instantly recognizable as five-star legends. These are the names that dominate highlight reels both in-game and in real football.
Kylian Mbappé (91, ST, Real Madrid)
The face of modern football and the new superstar at Real Madrid, Mbappé continues to be the most dangerous player in EAFC.
His pace, dribbling, and shooting already make him a nightmare for defenders, but with five-star skills, he becomes unstoppable. Expect to see him leading countless Ultimate Team squads.
Vinícius Jr (89, LW, Real Madrid)
Mbappé may be the cover star, but Vinícius Jr. brings pure joy with his flair on the left wing. His blend of pace, tricks, and unpredictability makes him one of the most exciting five-star skillers in the game.
Alexia Putellas (91, CM, Barcelona Femení)
A two-time Ballon d’Or winner, Putellas is not only one of the best women’s players in the world but also a maestro in EAFC 26. Her five-star skills paired with her midfield dominance make her a unique choice for those who want creativity in the center of the pitch.
Ousmane Dembélé (90, ST, PSG)
Known for being equally strong with both feet, Dembélé remains a fan-favorite skiller. Whether cutting inside or running down the wing, his tricks make him a lethal threat in EAFC 26.
Lamine Yamal (89, RM, Barcelona)
At only 17 years old, Yamal has already earned a place among the game’s most skillful players. EAFC 26 recognizes his dazzling footwork, cementing him as one of the brightest young stars to use in Career Mode or Ultimate Team.
Women’s Football Stars Leading the Way
EAFC has continued to embrace women’s football, and EAFC 26 gives several top players five-star skill ratings. Alexia Putellas and Caroline Graham Hansen headline the list, but others like Lauren James, Beth Mead, and Debinha add exciting flair. This expansion is significant, giving fans more reasons to explore women’s leagues in Ultimate Team and Career Mode.
Veterans Who Still Have It
Cristiano Ronaldo, Ángel Di María, Riyad Mahrez, and Juan Cuadrado are proof that age doesn’t take away flair. These players may no longer dominate the very top tier of competitive squads, but they remain deadly with the ball at their feet. Their presence among the five-star skillers ensures that Ultimate Team veterans can still enjoy using old favorites.
Underrated Gems
Every year, EAFC introduces a few surprises in the five-star category. Players like Désiré Doué, Osame Sahraoui, and Rayan Cherki may not be household names worldwide, but in-game they are pure gold. These are the players who make budget squads shine, capable of tearing defenses apart without costing you millions of coins.
The Role of Skill Moves in EAFC
For casual players, skill moves may just be a fun way to beat a defender now and then. But at competitive levels, they are essential.
Moves like the Elastico, La Croqueta, or the Reverse Step-Over can be game-changing, breaking defensive lines or creating just enough space for a shot.
Five-star skillers are unique because they unlock the most powerful and versatile moves.
A well-timed Elastico or a skill-chain around the box can decide matches, especially in FUT Champions. Knowing which players can execute these moves, and when to use them, often separates top-tier players from the rest.
How EAFC Balances Flair and Realism
EA has always walked a fine line between making skill moves fun and keeping them realistic.
Players like Mbappé or Vinícius Jr. genuinely perform outrageous tricks in real life, so their five-star rating feels natural. On the other hand, giving the same rating to lesser-known players introduces variety into the game and encourages fans to discover new talent.
Building Your Ultimate Team With 5-Star Skillers
For many, the first step in building a new Ultimate Team is securing at least one five-star skiller. They act as the creative spark, capable of turning tight matches in your favor.
Whether you build around a superstar like Mbappé or take a more affordable route with talents like Rayan Cherki, these players add unpredictability and joy to your squad.
