Shooting is one of the clearest separators between a dangerous attacker and a player who needs one more pass. A high SHO rating can make a striker more reliable inside the box, give a winger greater end product after cutting inside, and turn an attacking midfielder into a genuine threat from the edge of the area.
With the official EA SPORTS FC 27 men's Ratings database now available, Harry Kane leads the shooting rankings ahead of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé.
Below, you will find the Top 15 men's outfield players for SHO, the eight highest-rated shooters at every primary outfield position, the three leading outfield shooters from each of Europe's Big Five leagues, and the strongest base-card shooting profiles for Ultimate Team.
Why GK values are separated: On goalkeeper cards, the value occupying the generic SHO slot corresponds to the card's second goalkeeper face stat, Handling (HAN), so it is not directly comparable with an outfield player's Shooting. For example, Jan Oblak's official FC 27 profile shows both 90 GK Handling and 90 in the generic Shooting field, while his actual Finishing is only 11.
Top 15 Best Shooters in EA FC 27
After every GK entry is removed, sorting the men's database by SHO puts Harry Kane first at 94. Haaland follows on 92, while Mbappé is the only other men's outfield player to reach 90 or higher.
Strikers dominate the ranking, taking 10 of the 15 places. Messi and Bellingham represent CAM, while Cunha and Raphinha are the only wide players in the group. The full Top 15 cutoff lands cleanly at 86 SHO: all six men's outfield players on that value are included.

Who Is the Best Shooter in EA FC 27?
Harry Kane is the best men's outfield shooter in EA FC 27 with 94 SHO, two points above Haaland and three above Mbappé.
Kane's lead is supported by an exceptionally complete shooting breakdown: 96 Positioning, 96 Finishing, 92 Shot Power, 91 Long Shots, 91 Volleys, and 93 Penalties. His 62 PAC means he is not built around explosive separation, but once he receives the ball in a scoring position, no other men's base item has a stronger overall shooting profile.
FC 27 Best Shooters by Position: Top 8
The overall leaderboard is heavily concentrated at striker, so positional rankings give a more useful view of where shooting quality can be found across the pitch.
The tables below use EA's primary positions rather than alternate positions. Equal SHO values are genuine ties; when a Top 8 cutoff falls inside a tie, the order follows EA's current SHO-sorted display.
Strikers with the Highest SHO (ST)
SHO is most directly valuable at ST, where positioning, finishing, shot power, and the ability to convert limited chances shape a forward's end product.
ST owns the three highest outfield SHO ratings in the men's database. Kane is the pure shooting leader, while Haaland and Mbappé attach elite end product to much more pace.
Left Wingers with the Highest SHO (LW)
For a natural LW, stronger shooting makes inside runs and cut-ins more dangerous instead of leaving the player dependent on crossing or creating for others.
Raphinha leads primary LWs at 86 SHO and combines it with 91 PAC. Vini Jr. and Kvaratskhelia sit one point behind, but both bring stronger dribbling than the positional leader.
Right Wingers with the Highest SHO (RW)
The best-shooting RWs can threaten the far corner after moving inside, adding a direct scoring route to their normal width and chance creation.
Semenyo owns the highest SHO among primary RWs at 85. Yamal is level with Aspas on 84, but his 90 OVR and 93 DRI give him a far more complete creative profile.
Left Midfielders with the Highest SHO (LM)
Shooting gives an LM more value when arriving late in the box or moving into an inside channel instead of staying exclusively on the touchline.
Cunha is the clear LM leader. His 86 SHO is three points above Gakpo and high enough to place him in the overall men's Top 15 after goalkeepers are removed.
Right Midfielders with the Highest SHO (RM)
At RM, a stronger shot makes diagonal runs and central rotations more threatening, particularly for players used as attacking wide midfielders.
Greenwood leads RMs on 85 SHO, two points above Mbeumo. Olise has a lower raw shooting value at 82, but his 90 OVR, 89 PAS, and 91 DRI make him the strongest all-round card in the group.
Attacking Midfielders with the Highest SHO (CAM)
CAMs need to balance creation with scoring. A higher SHO rating makes them more dangerous when receiving between the lines, reaching the edge of the box, or making late central runs.
Messi leads natural CAMs at 87 SHO and supports it with 89 PAS and 90 DRI. Bellingham follows at 86, while Fernandes completes a top three in which every player also offers high-level chance creation.
Central Midfielders with the Highest SHO (CM)
For CMs, shooting matters most on late box entries, second balls, and attempts from outside the area rather than through constant occupation of the front line.
Valverde sets the CM ceiling at 84 SHO, one point above McTominay. He also combines that shooting with 90 PAC and 85 PHY, making his profile particularly well suited to a box-to-box role.
Defensive Midfielders with the Highest SHO (CDM)
SHO is a secondary attribute for CDMs, but it can still punish opponents who leave space around the edge of the box or allow the holding midfielder to arrive untracked.
Çalhanoğlu is the only primary CDM above 80 SHO. Arnold follows on 80, while Rodri's 90 OVR does not translate into the position's best raw shooting value.
Left Backs with the Highest SHO (LB)
For LBs, shooting is usually a bonus rather than a defining requirement, but it can add value after overlaps, underlaps, or recycled attacks.
Dimarco and Theo share the LB lead at 78 SHO. Nuno Mendes sits one point lower, but his 89 OVR and 94 PAC give him the strongest overall base-card profile in this positional group.
Right Backs with the Highest SHO (RB)
The same principle applies on the right: shooting becomes useful when an attacking full-back moves inside or remains high after the first phase of an attack.
Hakimi and Llorente share the RB lead at 79 SHO, five points clear of the next group. Both also bring more than 90 PAC, giving them an unusually aggressive attacking profile for the position.
Centre Backs with the Highest SHO (CB)
Shooting rarely drives a CB selection, but a higher value can still matter when a defender steps into midfield or stays forward after a recycled set piece.
Emre Can leads primary CBs at 76 SHO. The presence of Can, Alonso, and Andrich near the top reflects profiles with experience in midfield or wider defensive roles rather than traditional stay-back centre-backs.
Best FC 27 Shooters in Europe's Big Five Leagues
League-based rankings are especially useful when planning chemistry or building around a familiar competition. The following tables show the three men's outfield players with the highest SHO in the Premier League, LALIGA EA SPORTS, Bundesliga, Serie A Enilive, and Ligue 1 McDonald's.
Goalkeepers remain excluded. Equal SHO ratings are true ties, and a three-player table simply limits the displayed names according to EA's current sorted order.
Premier League
With Haaland, Gyökeres, and Isak all natural strikers, the Premier League’s shooting strength is concentrated at the point of attack. Their different blends of power and mobility should suit both one- and two-striker systems, particularly in transitions or from low cutbacks.
LALIGA EA SPORTS
LALIGA is less dependent on one striker profile. Mbappé can attack space, Alvarez can combine around the box, and Bellingham adds a late-running threat from CAM, allowing league squads to spread their finishing across several attacking lanes.
Bundesliga
The Bundesliga has the clearest penalty-box identity. Kane, Undav, and Guirassy give league squads natural central targets, so their shooting should be easiest to exploit through crosses, cutbacks, and short combinations around the box.
Serie A Enilive
Serie A offers several routes to goal within its leading group. Lautaro provides the box finishing, Dybala can shoot after receiving between the lines, and Malen threatens with runs into space, supporting both patient combinations and faster transitions.
Ligue 1 McDonald's
Ligue 1’s leading group is shaped heavily by Paris SG. Dembélé and Kvaratskhelia can create shooting opportunities through dribbling and movement, while Lepaul is more dependent on service, giving the league strong star power but less depth across different clubs.
Across the Big Five, the Premier League and Bundesliga concentrate their best finishing at ST, LALIGA spreads it across more attacking positions, Serie A mixes box finishing with support-line shooting, and Ligue 1’s strongest options are more heavily concentrated at Paris SG.
Best Shooters to Use in FC 27 Ultimate Team
The highest SHO card is not automatically the best attacker. Pace, dribbling, physicality, weak foot, skill moves, PlayStyles, and how a player fits your system all affect how easily that shooting can be brought into useful positions.
SHO vs Overall Rating: Notable Shooting Specialists
Some of the most interesting shooters stand out because their SHO is higher than their overall rating.
The simple SHO–OVR gap below is not an official EA statistic. It is only a quick way to show how heavily selected high-SHO outfield cards lean toward shooting.
Steijn has the largest gap in this selected group, with 82 SHO on a 77 OVR card. Cristiano is the highest-profile specialist: his 88 SHO remains elite even though his overall rating has fallen to 84.
FC 27 vs FC 26: How Have the Best Shooters Changed?
Kane, Haaland, and Mbappé remain the leading men's shooters, but their values have all increased.
Kane makes the largest gain in this group, rising by two points and extending his lead at the top. Haaland, Mbappé, and Dembélé each improve by one, while Cristiano and Lautaro stay unchanged. Isak moves in the opposite direction, falling from 89 to 87 SHO but remaining inside FC 27's overall outfield Top 10.
FAQ
Conclusion
Kane leads the shooting chart, but the most useful attacker will depend on your formation and playing style. Balance finishing with movement and chance creation when choosing your front line.
