FC26-TOTS Alexander Isak Review: This Card Shouldn’t Move Like This-ELD.gg was created by Chunzliu
Team of the Season in EA FC 26 has officially unleashed some of the most frightening cards we've seen all year, and leading the charge for many Ultimate Team players is none other than Alexander Isak, the towering Swedish striker now clocking in at a 96 overall rating

.Costing a hefty 2.35 million coins at the time of writing, Isak's card is the definition of juiced. But does he truly deliver on the pitch, or is he another overpriced TOTS hype train? After running him through intense Division Rivals and FUT Champs matches, this is your deep dive into one of EA FC 26's most compelling strikers. The Stats: Juiced to the MoonLet's not waste any time-just look at the stats:·Pace: 95·Shooting: 96·Dribbling: 97·Physical: 90·Weak Foot: 5/5 ·Skill Moves: 4/5·Height: 6'4"·PlayStyles+: Low Driven+, Finesse Shot, Power Header, Press Proven·Everything about this card screams elite striker: lethal finishing, blistering pace with Controlled Lengthy acceleration, high agility for a tall player, and even decent passing to build up play. If you're someone who wants to dominate matches with raw power, fluid mechanics, and goal-scoring finesse, Isak checks all the boxes. Price Tag: Worth Every Coin?Let's address the elephant in the room-2.35 million coins is no small price, especially with market fluctuations post-TOTS pack openings. While that price may fluctuate, the value proposition remains: Isak offers elite-tier meta performance.It's worth noting that some players may have been lucky enough to pack him in the 85x30 Champs pack, a reward from the grind that made him the only TOTS some users saw-three in one pack for the fortunate few.If you bought him at 2.3 million, you may take a coin hit later, but in terms of game-breaking impact, he's worth the plunge. On the Pitch: Controlled, Yet ExplosiveMovement and SpeedDespite his 6'4" frame, Isak feels surprisingly nimble. That's thanks to the Controlled Lengthy acceleration type-powered further with a Marksman chem style, which allows him to hit those deadly speed boosts off the mark. His Rapid+ PlayStyle makes him a menace when bursting through the backline. Whether you're pressing high or launching counterattacks, Isak's stride power turns half chances into guaranteed breakaways.And the Control Sprint mechanic paired with 97 dribbling? Ridiculous. You'd expect clunky movement from a striker this tall, but he glides through tight lanes better than some smaller forwards.Dribbling and Left Stick ControlThis is where Isak shines brighter than expected. His 97 dribbling stat and lean body type allow for tight left stick control. Even under pressure, he can maneuver, twist, and pull off rapid direction changes. The First Touch+ PlayStyle also helps him trap difficult passes with finesse.However, he's not flawless. When the ball is fizzed into his feet at full power, he sometimes feels a tad sluggish, and certain animations can feel delayed if you're not actively engaging in Controlled Sprint or shielding with L2. Shooting: Consistently ClinicalIf you're buying this card, it's because you want goals-lots of them. And rest assured: he delivers.Whether it's a low driven from the edge of the box or a finesse shot into the far corner, Isak's finishing package is lethal. He has all the necessary traits to bag goals under pressure:·99 positioning·98 finishing·95 shot power·Finesse+ and Low Driven+ PlayStyles·In game, you'll notice he thrives especially with low driven finishes in the box. They're just automatic. The footwork inside tight spaces, combined with a decent flare, means he can sit defenders down and pick his corner with minimal input. Physicality: Beast or Bluffed?Here's where things get interesting.You'd expect a 6'4 striker with 90+ strength to bully defenders left and right-but surprisingly, Isak gets knocked off the ball more than expected. Even with a Hawk chem style, which boosts strength to 97, he occasionally loses shoulder-to-shoulder battles to smaller players.This isn't a total red flag-it depends on how you use him. Isak is best when running at defenders, not back-to-goal. If you're trying to hold up play with him like a traditional target man, you'll likely find some frustration.Still, his aerial threat remains strong. While he doesn't always produce thunderous headers, his 6'4 frame and Power Header PlayStyle mean he can sneak in a few goals off crosses or corners. Think more lethal salmon leap, less classic FIFA 20 header merchant.AI Movement and PositioningIsak's off-the-ball AI movement is excellent. He knows where to be, when to drift wide, and how to angle his runs for optimal through balls. His Press Proven PlayStyle adds a layer of defensive work rate, helping him press from the front and win the ball back high up the pitch.That said, you'll sometimes notice him drift offside a little too often.Whether that's an opponent using a high line or Isak simply misreading timing, you'll want to stay aware when spamming through balls. Best Chem Style: Marksman > HawkMany players naturally assume Hawk is the way to go for physicals and pace-but Marksman is the superior option. Why?·Keeps Controlled Lengthy acceleration·Maximizes dribbling and finishing·Boosts ball control for tighter reactions·With Hawk, he sometimes loses that special fluidity. Stick to Marksman and let his raw attributes do the work-he already has enough pace and shot power. Final Verdict: Isak is HIMAlexander Isak's 96-rated TOTS card is a near-perfect striker in EA FC 26. He blends explosive speed, clinical finishing, and surprisingly agile movement in a way few cards can-especially in the meta dominated by high-press tactics and rapid transitional play.He's not without faults:·Occasionally feels sluggish under pressure·Can get bodied off the ball·Offside awareness can be hit or miss·But once you get him sprinting in open space or find him inside the box with a bit of time
