Top 10 Tallest Players in EA Sports FC 26

Top 10 Tallest Players in EA Sports FC 26

There’s something special about having a giant on your team in FC 26. Whether it’s a goalkeeper who looks like he could touch the crossbar without jumping, or a centre-back who makes strikers feel like garden gnomes, height adds a strange, nostalgic thrill.

But giants don’t just look imposing; in-game they can dominate headers, own the six-yard box, and turn corners into free goals. Let’s meet the tallest of the tall.

10. Omar Sowunmi (CB, Bromley) — 198 cm / 6′6″

At 6′6″, Omar Sowunmi is a lower-league titan. Playing for Bromley, he wins nearly every aerial duel in his half, leaving strikers flustered mid-jump. His balance and strength mean he can body a player off the ball without looking like he’s trying too hard, and his tackling stats in-game reflect that physicality.

He may lack pace compared to top-flight defenders, but if you want a brute force presence in your defensive line, Sowunmi is your go-to. Watching him clear a cross with a leap that feels almost cinematic? Pure joy.

9. Dan Burn (CB, Newcastle) — 201 cm / 6′7″

Dan Burn has become a Newcastle fan favorite in real life for his height, and EA FC 26 captures it perfectly. His 6′7″ frame makes him a nightmare during set pieces, often beating taller attackers simply with timing and reach.

His heading stat is a dream for anyone who enjoys watching corners fly in like guided missiles only to see Burn send them skyward. Sure, agility isn’t his best trait, but his physical dominance more than compensates. He’s the kind of defender who makes strikers hesitate before even jumping.

8. Pape Moussa Fall (ST, RAAL La Louviere) — 203 cm / 6′8″

Strikers this tall are rare, and Fall is a prime specimen. At 6′8″, he’s basically a target in the box, a human lighthouse for crosses. His finishing in EA FC 26 isn’t just about power; it’s about positioning. Lob the ball into the box, and Fall is already three steps ahead, rising above defenders to hammer it home.

He lacks sprint speed, but if you’re playing a possession-heavy style with lofted balls into the area, Fall becomes an unstoppable force. In-game, headers feel cinematic when he rises like he’s dunking a basketball.

7. Elias Egouli (CB, Düsseldorf) — 204 cm / 6′8″

Egouli is all about intimidation. Standing at 6′8″, his in-game aerial duels win rate is ridiculous. Against a fast winger? He’s slower, yes, but he uses reach and timing to intercept crosses and block shots. His physical stats, strength, aggression, and stamina make him a dependable anchor for a growing squad.

In Career Mode, training his positioning can turn him into a league-stopper. It’s one thing to see him in the match preview; it’s another to watch him pluck a ball out of the air with the air of a seasoned veteran.

6. Kjell Scherpen (GK, Lausanne) — 206 cm / 6′9″

At 6′9″, Scherpen is the type of goalkeeper who makes you reconsider shooting from distance. His reach covers the goal like a shadow, and his reflexes stat ensures that even when he dives late, he still has a fighting chance.

In EA FC 26, he’s a project goalkeeper; you’ll want to boost his handling and positioning, but once trained, crosses and high balls feel almost impossible to concede. Imagine a ball lofted perfectly into the top corner, only for Scherpen to stretch like a skyscraper and bat it away - pure box office.

5. Lucas Bergström (GK, Mallorca) — 206 cm / 6′9″

Another 6′9″ guardian of the net, Bergström combines raw height with agility improvements via the Evolution system. Playing in La Liga, his in-game GK stats make him especially strong on crosses and high shots.

He’s not the fastest to come off the line, but once you’ve timed his jumps, he turns the penalty area into his personal domain. In matches, there’s a small thrill in trying to lob him, only to be met with the realization that this is usually a mistake, because his wingspan is absurd.

4. Tom Hülsmann (GK, Austria Wien) — 206 cm / 6′9″

Hülsmann’s size is imposing, but it’s his positioning and goalkeeper+ role that make him shine. At 6′9″, he’s perfect for clubs needing a tall presence who can evolve into a Premier League caliber GK.

In-game, his animation on high crosses is almost cartoonishly effective; he seems to float above the attackers, catching balls that feel out of reach. Chemistry-wise, his German nationality is handy, making him versatile for squad building.

3. Pape Sy (GK, Metz) — 206 cm / 6′9″

Sy is the definition of a commanding presence. When crosses come in, he rarely lets the ball drop; he punches, catches, or swats it clear with ease. In EA FC 26, his height alone shifts the psychology of the game; you feel smaller facing him. Evolution potential is decent, so investing in his reflexes and positioning can turn him from a towering liability to a league-topper. Watching him dominate in penalty shootouts feels like a cheat code.

2. Denys Tvardovskyi (GK, Shakhtar Donetsk) — 206 cm / 6′9″

Tvardovskyi combines his 6′9″ frame with surprisingly sharp reflexes. His reach is immense, and when corner kicks fly in, he reads the trajectory almost telepathically. EA FC 26 reflects his potential growth perfectly: boost his handling and diving stats, and suddenly he’s an unstoppable wall. In-game, strikers hesitate when he’s between the posts, and that psychological edge is worth as much as any stat.

1. Kevin Gadellaa (GK, Utrecht) — 210 cm / 6′11″

And here he is: the Burj Khalifa of EA FC 26. Kevin Gadellaa stands 6′11″, the tallest player in the game. Facing him in the box is like trying to shoot past a moving wall. In-game, his wingspan alone covers most shots, and when he leaps for crosses, it feels like he’s defying physics.

Evolution potential makes him an absolute monster - upgrading his reflexes and positioning means you’ve got a goalkeeper who doesn’t just stop shots; he dominates entire matches. Watching a ball sail over defenders, only for Gadellaa to pluck it out of the air, is the digital equivalent of jaw-dropping theater.

Wrapping Up

Height in football isn’t everything, but it sure makes life interesting. From Sowunmi’s lower-league brute force to Gadellaa’s jaw-dropping goalkeeping dominance, these players redefine what it means to dominate the pitch.

Corners, crosses, and set pieces suddenly have a new villain—or hero—depending on which side you’re on. In EA FC 26, sometimes it’s not skill or speed that wins the game; it’s who’s towering above you.
