The Norwegian marksman is 90-rated in the latest game. Although he will still be an exceptional attacking force on the virtual pitch, his abilities will be slightly diminished when compared to FC 25.

The Frenchman will also have the Quickstep+ PlayStyle, which will boost his acceleration. Meanwhile, the Norwegian striker will have the Low Driven Shot+ PlayStyle, which is arguably the most overpowered shooting trait under the FC IQ system. These stats and traits accurately depict their style of play and preferences.

However, Kylian Mbappe will undoubtedly be much better than Erling Haaland in EA FC 26. Not only is he higher-rated in general, he's also much faster, a better dribbler, better passer and can play on the wing as well. He also has five-star skill moves, and has arguably been the best attacker on the virtual pitch over the past few years.

While the Manchester City striker will be much stronger due to his tall stature, domineering in-game build and higher physical stats, the Real Madrid superstar will be a superior force in almost every other aspect.
