Ousmane Diomande: How EA Sports FC 26 ranks Leeds target's best and worst abilities

Ousmane Diomande shines in the physical department according to EA Sports FC 26, with Leeds United now eyeing a summer swoop.

The 22-year-old has been shining in Portuguese football for Sporting since signing for them in January 2023.

Originally coming through with Danish outfit FC Midtjylland, Diomande has now evolved into one of Europe's brightest young centre-back talents.

Indeed, he will be hoping for a memorable summer ahead too, as he's in the Ivory Coast squad for the World Cup in North America.

With another impressive 2025-26 campaign under his belt, a number of top clubs across European football have been touted to make moves for him.

One of those is Leeds, with Daniel Farke hoping to add some real quality to his squad this summer with the aim of kicking this Whites group on to big success in 2026-27.

What are Ousmane Diomande's best abilities in FC 26?

There aren't many bigger or more popular video game series in the world than the FC games - formerly known as FIFA.

EA Sports FC 26 remains the latest instalment, with millions of players across the globe, and it can serve as a valuable database for fans to research stars linked to their team.

So, with Diomande potentially heading to Elland Road this summer, let's take a look at how FC 26 view what his best abilities are that he could bring to West Yorkshire.

Taken from the official EA Sports FC website, Diomande's strongest attribute is his jumping, which is rated at 93, with his 90 strength coming in a close second.

He also ranks highly for aggression (83), standing tackle (82) and sprint speed (82), with 80 stamina and 78 acceleration.

Diomande also ranks well for long passing (73) and short passing (71), which could actually be a little bit low for him based on his 2025-26 numbers for Sporting.

Indeed, the Ivorian recorded a 93.1 per cent pass success rate and a 67.1 per cent long ball accuracy in Liga Portugal last season, with few centre-backs in that league bettering those numbers.

What are Diomande's worst abilities in FC 26?

So, based on his best abilities, it would appear that he'd bring energy, industry and ball-playing ability to Farke's side, but what may he lack?

Unsurprisingly, his lowest-rated attribute is his finishing at 20, whilst his 22 long shots, 24 free-kick accuracy and 24 volleys respectively follow closely behind.

That's probably fair enough considering he's never scored a goal in Liga Portugal with his feet.

Away from his shooting though, Diomande has just 38 vision, 63 agility and 66 balance, perhaps indicating that he's not at his best when it comes to duels.

There is evidence to support that as well, as his 48.6 duels won and 57.4 per cent aerial duels won ranked him in the bottom 9.3 and 44.2 percentiles of Liga Portugal centre-backs last season.
