Every new EA FC cycle brings that familiar question: which cards are actually worth using in Weekend League? On paper, there are always dozens of overpowered-looking attackers-fast, strong, technical, or boosted with shiny PlayStyles. But every now and then, a card appears that doesn't just look good in the stats screen… it feels different in-game. This time, that card is Thomas Chory-a 6'7 striker who should, by all logic, feel clunky, slow, and predictable. Instead, he's turning into one of the most surprising "budget-to-meta" style attackers in EA FC 26, especially in high-pressure Champs matches FC 26 Coins. After a full Weekend League run using him as the main striker, one thing became clear: this card doesn't just score goals. He changes how your opponent defends. First Impressions: "He Shouldn't Work… But He Does" At first glance, Chory looks like a meme striker. He's: 6'7 height A physically dominant build Equipped with Enforcer-type strength animations Combined with Rapid, giving him acceleration bursts that don't make sense for his size Normally, that combination screams "slow target man who only works in low divisions." But EA FC 26's current gameplay mechanics-especially how acceleration types and physical PlayStyles interact-turn him into something far more dangerous. He isn't quick in the traditional winger sense. He doesn't glide. He doesn't dribble like a tech-heavy striker. Instead, he moves like a truck that suddenly learns how to sprint unpredictably. And that's exactly what makes him so hard to defend. In-Game Reality: Clunky? No. Deceptively Deadly. The biggest misconception about Chory is that his height will automatically make him unusable in tight spaces. But once you start chaining right-stick movement, controlled sprints, and simple shielding mechanics, something interesting happens: Defenders can't read him. He has just enough responsiveness to: Turn into space under pressure Shield the ball without losing it instantly Burst forward after contact using Rapid acceleration Finish consistently inside the box He's not silky-but he's functional in a way that disrupts defensive timing. And in EA FC 26, disrupting defensive timing is everything. The Enforcer Effect: Why He Wins Physical Battles One of the key reasons Chory feels so strong is his interaction with physical PlayStyles like Enforcer. In gameplay terms, this means: He holds off defenders longer than expected He wins shoulder-to-shoulder duels he shouldn't He creates "extra seconds" for passing or shooting He becomes extremely hard to dispossess once shielding In Weekend League, that extra half-second is often the difference between a blocked shot and a goal. And Chory consistently generates those moments. Even when defenders are perfectly positioned, he doesn't immediately collapse under pressure. Instead, he absorbs contact, pivots slightly, and either: lays it off powers through or sets up a shooting lane That makes him feel far more expensive than his price tag suggests. Link-Up Play: Not Just a Target Man The most surprising part of using Chory is that he's not just a "hold up and finish" striker. He actually contributes heavily in build-up play. In multiple Weekend League matches, he: Dropped deep to receive passes Played quick one-touch layoffs Triggered forward runs for midfielders Acted as a pivot in transition attacks Despite his size, his passing animations are clean enough to function in tight midfield exchanges. This creates a weird but powerful dynamic: You expect to play long balls into him…
Final Thoughts EA FC 26 is at its best when cards break expectations-and Chory does exactly that. A 6'7 striker shouldn't feel responsive, shouldn't accelerate like he does, and definitely shouldn't perform in high-level Champs matches the way he does. And that's what makes him worth trying. If you're bored of the usual meta strikers and want something that feels different-but still competitive-Chory is absolutely worth a test run. Because sometimes, the most dangerous players in FC aren't the fastest or the most skillful… They're the ones defenders simply can't figure out how to stop.
