Alright, gamers and fellow Reds, the buzz online is wild right now — early FC 26 leaks are hinting that Mohamed Salah is set to headline Liverpool with a ridiculous 91 overall. That’s not just big news, that’s a full-on statement. The man’s still proving he belongs at the top table of world football, and for Ultimate Team players, this card is going to shape how we all start our squads. If you’re serious about building early, having some FC 26 Coins tucked away might be the only way to get him before prices shoot through the roof.
A 91 overall is exactly what Salah deserves. Year after year he’s carried Liverpool’s attack, and even with the miles on his legs, his pace hasn’t fallen off, his finishing is still ice-cold, and defenders still can’t figure out how to stop him cutting in on that left foot. It’s basically EA saying: yeah, this guy is still terrifying, deal with it. The number isn’t just stats on a screen, it’s respect for his insane consistency and his ability to flip a match on its head at any moment.
Now, if we’re talking attributes, you can already picture the breakdown. Near top-end pace so he can burn fullbacks, shooting in the high 80s to low 90s to bury every chance, and dribbling that feels unfair when you’re trying to defend him. Agility, balance, close control — all maxed enough that rage quits are basically guaranteed once someone gets Salah in week one. Imagine Weekend League lobbies full of him — feels like a nightmare already.
And that’s just his base card. The thought of what his special cards will look like this cycle is scary. Team of the Week after a brace, Player of the Month when he inevitably carries Liverpool, and then the big ones like Team of the Season — each upgrade pushing his stats deeper into “broken” territory. For FUT grinders, Salah won’t just be a card, he’ll be a year-long chase, the kind of player that makes you rework your whole lineup just to fit him in.
For Liverpool overall, this leak looks massive. Salah leading the line at 91 sets the tone for the whole squad. If VVD keeps a strong rating, Alisson stays near the top keepers, and Trent gets credit for his creativity, then you’ve got the makings of one of the best-balanced teams in the game. Add in potential bumps for guys like Mac Allister or Szoboszlai, and suddenly you can run a full Reds squad that’s actually competitive from day one.
Sure, it’s still a leak, so nothing’s set in stone until EA makes it official. But these early numbers are usually close to reality, and seeing Salah at 91 feels completely believable. Honestly, it just adds fuel to the hype train. Liverpool fans are already buzzing, and Ultimate Team players know what this means — the market’s going to explode, and the chase for Salah is going to define the early weeks of FC 26.
So what do you reckon — is 91 exactly where Salah belongs, or would you push it higher given his impact? Which of his stats are you most curious about — the raw pace, the lethal finishing, or the silky dribbling? And beyond Salah, who else in the squad do you think deserves a bump this year? Let’s hear it — and if you’re already plotting your dream lineup, don’t forget lining up some cheap FC 26 Coins might save you from market heartbreak when the game drops.
