Salah vs Saka FC 27 — Best Right Winger?

Card Overview

The Premier League's two best right wingers face off. Salah is the proven veteran — years of elite output in FUT. Saka is the rising star whose real-life form has pushed his card to near-elite level. Here's how their FC 27 base cards compare.

Saka is half the price of Salah — an important factor when building a competitive squad. With top sellers, 100K coins = roughly $1, so the savings are real.

Stat Comparison

Salah wins the offensive stats — pace, shooting, dribbling. But Saka's 62 defending and better passing make him far more versatile. Saka can track back and contribute defensively, something Salah rarely does.

In-Game Performance

Salah In-Game

Salah is a certified goal machine from the right wing. His signature move — cutting inside onto his left foot — is devastatingly effective in FC 27. 88 shooting combined with 93 pace means he consistently gets into scoring positions and finishes them. His finesse shot from the edge of the box is one of the most reliable in the game.

The downside is his 3★ weak foot. Defenders who force him onto his right side significantly reduce his threat. He also offers nothing defensively, so your RB needs to be solid.

Saka In-Game

Saka is the complete winger. His 4★ weak foot means he's dangerous on either side, and his 84 passing makes him an excellent creator. He drifts into pockets of space, plays incisive through balls, and still has the pace (90) to beat fullbacks in a race.

His shooting (83) is the main gap versus Salah. He'll miss chances that Salah buries. But his versatility — the ability to play RM, CAM, or even drop into midfield — gives you tactical options Salah can't match.

Pros & Cons

Salah — Pros

• 88 shooting — deadly finisher from RW
• 93 pace — burns fullbacks consistently
• 90 dribbling — silky smooth on the ball
• Elite finesse shot from outside the box
• Proven FUT performer year after year

Salah — Cons

• 3★ weak foot — predictable on his right side
• Zero defensive contribution
• ~180K price tag is steep for a gold RW
• Limited nation links (Egypt)

Saka — Pros

• 4★ weak foot — dangerous on both sides
• 84 passing — plays as a creator and scorer
• 62 defending — tracks back effectively
• ~90K — half the price of Salah
• Strong England links (Bellingham, Rice, Foden)
• Multi-position versatility

Saka — Cons

• 83 shooting — not as clinical as Salah
• Slightly slower (90 vs 93 pace)
• 74 physical — can get pushed off the ball
• Doesn't have Salah's finesse shot trait

Verdict

Salah wins on pure output — he scores more goals and his finishing is elite. But Saka at half the price is arguably the smarter investment. If you're building a mega squad, take Salah. If you need to spread coins across the team, Saka gives you 90% of the production at 50% of the cost.
