Shooting
Six digits of precision that separate a chance from a goal.
Shooting is one of the six core player attributes in the FIFA franchise, displayed prominently on every player card in FIFA Ultimate Team. It encapsulates a player's goal-scoring capability and is broken down into several sub-attributes that govern different aspects of finishing. As a rating, it is a primary driver of card value, squad building strategy, and the broader trading ecosystem within the game.

Lore & Background
The attribute also features heavily in FIFA Ultimate Team objectives and weekly challenges, where earning a certain number of goals or assists with a specific card unlocks rewards. This creates a feedback loop: players seek out high-Shooting cards to complete objectives, which in turn sustains demand and keeps those cards circulating at elevated prices in the Transfer Market.
Reader's Guide
Shooting is not a standalone card but a rating printed on every FIFA Ultimate Team player card, and its tier (typically 70–99) is the single most scrutinised number when traders evaluate a striker or attacking midfielder. High-Shooting cards (90+) sit at the top of the market, traded in packs, via objectives, and through direct player-to-player sales. Their premium persists because they reliably convert chances in both live matches and objective-driven play.
Acquisition routes include opening player packs, completing weekly and limited-time objectives that reward specific card types, and purchasing directly from the Transfer Market. Special-event cards (e.g., in-form or special promotions) often carry boosted Shooting ratings, making them particularly sought after.
In squad building, a 95+ Shooting rating on your primary striker is considered table stakes for competitive divisions. Community trading culture frequently centres on 'value' Shooting cards—players whose overall rating is modest but whose Shooting sub-attribute is disproportionately high, offering elite finishing at a lower price point. These cards circulate heavily in the market and are a staple of budget-friendly squad guides.
