EA FC 26 has kicked off, and one of the cards turning heads early in Ultimate Team is Omar Marmoush (84). If you're building your squad and hunting for a player who breaks defenders with speed and flair, this review might help you decide whether Marmoush is worth your coins. 

Overall Rating

8/10 — Marmoush is definitely a standout option early in FC 26, especially among attackers in the 75-125k coin range. He’s not perfect, but he delivers strong value and fills a gap many squads need. 

What He Excels At

Pace & Movement (9/10)

With a 93 Acceleration and 96 Sprint Speed, Marmoush is fast. Really fast. His bursts and ability to ghost past defenders make him especially dangerous in wide or counter-attack situations. 

His dribbling is tight: 89 Agility, 87 Dribbling, plus a playstyle leaning toward “Technical” dribble makes his close control a strong advantage. 

Finishing & Shot Power

He puts the ball in the net more often than not. With 90 Finishing and 88 Shot Power, he’s surprisingly clinical once in goalscoring positions. 

Value for Coins

Given what you get, Marmoush is very well priced in his tier. You get high impact for your investment without needing to break bank. 

Where He’s Weaker

Weak Foot (3★)
His weaker foot underdelivers. Finesse shots or attempts from his non-dominant side are hit or miss. You’ll need to angle your attacks to favor his strong foot for best results. 

Passing & Crossing
The Short Passing (85) is decent, but not exemplary. Long passes (63) and crossing (64) don’t match up. He struggles to distribute across the pitch or deliver precise crosses, especially out wide. 

Strength / Hold-Up Play
With a Strength stat around 67, he can get bullied in physical duels. He lacks the heft to shield the ball consistently. Using him in central roles against strong defenders may expose this weakness. 

First Touch
Some issues noticed with first touch, especially when balls are played quickly or in tricky situations. Occasional miscontrols can cost moments—so work on setups instead of relying on one-touch magic. 

Best Uses & Tips

Use him as Advanced Forward or similar attacking role where speed and bursts are rewarded. He shines going forward, breaking the defensive line. 

Equip a chemistry style that boosts finishing or dribbling. In the review, Hunter Chemistry Style was used and seemed like a very good fit. 

Don’t force wing play if crossing is needed—he’s better off centrally (or cutting inside) than delivering end-line crosses.

Pair with players who can cover his passing limitations—midfielders with good distribution help balance the team.

Verdict

If your squad needs a fast, attacking threat who can cause chaos behind defenses, Omar Marmoush (84) in FC 26 is a solid choice for early/mid game. He won’t replace top-tier forwards in every role, but he offers excellent bang for buck, especially for players who favor direct play, counter attacks, and skillful dribbling.
