Ranking the TOP 10 FREE Epic Goal Poachers in eFootball 2026! 🔥

Summary

The video ranks ten free Epic Goal Poacher centre-forwards by how relevant they remain in eFootball. The presenter considers their finishing, attributes, strengths and weaknesses, and performance in actual matches.

Top 10

1. Gabriel Batistuta — The presenter’s clear favourite and, in their view, possibly the best free striker in the game. He is powerful in the air and can shield the ball and muscle off defenders before shooting. His main weakness is less reliable ball control.
2. Sergio Agüero — Highly agile, balanced and dangerous around the box. The presenter reports scoring more than 150 goals with him in over 100 matches. For curled shots, get into a good position and narrow the shooting angle instead of shooting from extreme angles. His stamina and aerial play are weaker points.
3. Original Diego Forlán — Combines strong finishing, curl and shot power, and can threaten from set pieces. He is somewhat more agile than the newer Forlán and can be especially effective as a substitute.
4. David Villa — Clever, capable of dribbling and taking set pieces, and better in the air than his height might suggest. The presenter still considers him a formidable card despite claims that he has been nerfed.
5. El-Hadji Diouf — A well-rounded forward who is fast, comfortable on the ball, effective at finishing and good in the air, even if some other players are stronger aerially.
6. Michael Owen — Fast, accurate, agile, balanced and confident on the ball. His main limitation is aerial play.
7. New Diego Forlán — A consistent scorer with strong finishing, useful passing and effective set pieces. He is less convincing in the air and on the ball than the original version. The presenter notes that this newer card has had less time to prove its longevity.
8. Filippo Inzaghi — A penalty-area specialist with excellent scoring instincts and finishing. He can be awkward on the ball, particularly when dribbling, so the presenter suggests using him as a bench option if stronger picks are available.
9. Samuel Eto’o — A fast, effective forward whom the presenter often prefers as a super-sub. He is similar to Aubameyang, though Eto’o seems slightly quicker on runs.
10. Aubameyang — Very fast and useful off the bench, but his shooting power is lower than expected. He can still trouble opponents when used to exploit his pace.

Key Tips and Takeaways

• Use pace-focused forwards as super-subs: Aubameyang and Eto’o are highlighted as effective options off the bench.
• Play Inzaghi close to goal: His strengths are finishing and movement in the penalty area, not carrying the ball.
• Choose shots carefully with Agüero: Get into a favourable position near the box and narrow the angle before shooting.
• Consider each striker’s role: Aerial ability, stamina, balance and ball control can matter as much as headline finishing stats.
• Keep the ranking in perspective: It reflects the presenter’s testing and match experience, and some cards may perform differently depending on how they are used.
