In-game feel & playstyle
This UCL Road to the Final Achraf Hakimi is a 96 OVR right back that plays like a winger with defending bolted on. With 96 pace, 96 sprint speed and 97 stamina, he flies up and down the right flank all match without fading. The 93 dribbling and 5-star skill moves let him beat players in the final third, and the 5-star weak foot means he can finish or cross off either side. At an S meta tier with a 98 meta score, he sits at the very top of the fullback pool in FC 26.
Strengths
- ✅ 96 pace, 96 sprint speed, he covers the whole right wing and gets back to recover almost instantly
- ✅ 92 defending, 94 interceptions, 94 standing tackle, rare elite numbers for an attacking fullback, so he is not a liability at the back
- ✅ 5-star skills, 5-star weak foot, full creative freedom going forward; he can play RB or push up to RM
- ✅ 97 stamina, 90 physical, he can overlap every attack for 90 minutes without tiring
- ✅ 90 shooting, 92 passing, 93 dribbling, genuine attacking output from a defender slot
Weaknesses
- ❌ Controlled AcceleRATE, he builds speed smoothly rather than exploding off the mark, so quick agile attackers can nick the first yard on him
- ❌ 2.1M price, a massive coin outlay that locks him out of most casual squads
- ❌ Right foot only base, the 5-star weak foot softens this, but his natural side is right
Best position, chemistry style & squads
His best home is right back, with RM as a viable alternative if you want him even higher up the pitch. Because his pace, dribbling, defending and physical are already near maxed, the smart play is a Shadow to push pace and defending past their caps and turn him into an unbeatable lockdown fullback. If you would rather lean into the overlap, a Catalyst boosts passing and pace for more attacking link play. He links cleanly through Ligue 1 McDonald's and the Morocco national side, so pair him with PSG or Ligue 1 attackers and Moroccan teammates to keep chemistry green.
Final verdict & ratings
Buy him if you have the coins and want the single best two-way right back in the game; he defends like a center back and attacks like a winger. Skip him if your budget is tight, because 2.1M is a lot to spend on one fullback when cheaper RBs still do a strong job, and the Controlled accel means he is elite rather than literally untouchable in a footrace.
Conclusion
An S-tier do-everything fullback that is genuinely worth the hype. The only thing standing between you and him is 2.1M coins.
