Shooting + Dribbling. For forwards who are ALREADY fast — spend the style on everything pace can't buy.
Finisher boosts two attribute groups: Shooting (SHO) and Dribbling (DRI). It assumes pace is handled — its whole job is turning a quick forward into a clinical one: cleaner striking, tighter close control, better composure in the box. See where it sits in our FC 27 chemistry styles guide.
The boost is not fixed — it scales with that player's own chemistry points:
| Player chemistry | Finisher boost |
|---|---|
| 0 chemistry | No boost at all |
| 1 chemistry | Small boost |
| 2 chemistry | Medium boost |
| 3 chemistry | Maximum boost (about +3 to Shooting and Dribbling) |
A Finisher on a 1-chemistry forward barely registers. Use our FC 27 chemistry calculator to get the player to 3 chemistry first, then apply the style.
Rule of thumb: Finisher never fixes pace. If the forward can't get into position, the style to pick is Hunter, not this one.

vs Hunter: when the forward LACKS pace, that's Hunter's job. Finisher on a slow striker is wasted — the dribble boost can't buy him the separation he doesn't have.
vs Sniper: both boost Shooting + Dribbling, so be honest with yourself — the practical difference is marginal. Finisher suits fast forwards shooting on the run; Sniper suits calm, composed box finishers. Pick whichever fits the player's personality.

Take an inverted left winger on 3 chemistry: blistering pace, decent control, but his cut-inside shots keep flying over. Finisher at 3 chemistry lifts Shooting and Dribbling (about +3 each): the cut inside is tighter and the finish lands. On 1 chemistry, the same style barely moves the needle — fix the chemistry first.
Finisher is the right pick for forwards who are already fast. When pace needs no help, Shooting + Dribbling is where the value goes — cleaner strikes and better control at speed.
Honestly, the practical difference is marginal: both boost Shooting + Dribbling. Finisher suits pacey forwards who shoot on the run; Sniper suits calm, composed box finishers. Either way, the player's chemistry matters more than which one you pick.
If the striker lacks pace, that's Hunter's job — Finisher can't fix slowness. If the striker is already quick, Finisher adds the shooting and dribbling his pace was never going to give him.
