Manager Daryl McMahon praised Ebbsfleet's attacking performance against Gillingham on Saturday.
Fleet were good value for their 2-0 win at Stonebridge Road and might have scored more on another day.
Corey Whitely and Sean Shields were a constant threat from wide areas while Ebou Adams dominated central midfield, scoring one goal and setting up the other.
"I thought it was a good performance," McMahon said. "We played some really good stuff against a decent outfit, scored two good goals and created a number of other good chances so I was pleased.
"I think we should (look dangerous) with the players we have - against most opposition up to League 1. Whitely, Adams and Shields are creative players and they can produce like they did today.
"Ebou is big and strong but he's scored an overhead kick as well!
"He's got loads of room to get better but he's determined to do it and he's a fantastic kid as well. He works hard and he's a good player."
Ebbsfleet lost Kenny Clark to injury on Saturday but won;t find out until Monday exactly what damage has been done.
McMahon said: "It was just a block tackle so hopefully it's not anything too bad. It was precautionary, really, to get him off."
Dave Winfield (back) and Andy Drury (calf) also missed the game but are both expected to feature against Cambridge United on Tuesday night.
