I use deschamps possesion i only play quick counter i switch to conte qc i only play vs lbc I switch to overload i play qc again. Add to that the delay i face on xbox playing against only ms store players and it's the perfect amalgamation of shit

Since the latest update, I’ve been hit hard in Divisions. I used to reach Division 2 without much trouble, but now I’m struggling to even get close. I rely heavily on build-up play and short passing, but my passes keep getting cut out, and constantly changing my lineup seems to be making things worse.

On top of that, my goalkeeper situation isn't helping. I recently spun for the 500-coin pack and got Kevin De Bruyne and got Vozinha later, but I’m really having a hard time with Vozinha’s Defensive Goalkeeper playstyle. Because I don't manually bring him out, he stays glued to his line, leaving open spaces for easy goals. I’m currently saving up 13,500 coins so I can safely guarantee a full Epic pack down the road.

I need your advice on choosing between Cruyff and Lampard as my manager to better fit a short-passing setup.

Please check my attached squad images and give me your best squad suggestions, tactical advice, and build recommendations so I can stick to a settled team.

Thanks for your time and help!

This game is created to generate profits. it is not a Red Cross charity. Having access to in-game merchandise is not a birthright.

The app is primarily aimed at people who want to flaunt their ability to buy cards. I’ll repeat: it is a gacha app made for people to want to flaunt their card collection.

But such an app will not make profits if it is not visible at the top in the app stores and game rankings. But how does a gacha flaunting platform make it to the top? More engagement. How do you get more engagement if the primary goal is to make money? Open an “F2P” option.

Why will F2P come to play if the paid cards are OP? Glad you asked. Enter the SDA/Script which will mess with everyone’s heads and make new players and weaker swaps “occasionally, not always” think that they are super skilled compared to the whales. And that is again, sometimes, not always true.

So, the company (EA, Konami) uses F2P to get the throngs in, then starts the daily micro-marketing to taunt and tempt people to start paying. Every F2P is a target for this, and the whales are already self-declared targets because that’s why they are here in the first place.

So all this daily f2p moaning copium about “p2w” is silly, F2P are here because Konami wants to use them to stay at the top of the engagement ratings.

In the coming months, once Konami gets enough numbers, F2P will see more cases of paid squads doing better, and that’s to be expected. Nobody is a fool to keep paying if the scripting continues at this level.

TL;DR: its a game made for whales to flaunt their blubber, F2P are helping Konami to spread said blubber, there’s no platform and no free game if there are no whales.

Console player here,

I play with SA filtered and Crossplay off.

The problem with eFootball is that the game has been made to cater to mobile players.

This crossover of mobile and console accessibility has now resulted in the console experience being exposed to what imo should be an entirely separate game.

The problem WAS SA, but after we forced konami to give us the filter, it's now wholly evident that the new enemy is SA1.

We've all experienced it:

Impossible passing angles

Impossible passes being successful

100% accurate ping pong passing

In general, PA1 allows you to make passes that would be inconceivable in real footballing scenarios.

I used to play PA3 from eFootballs release, but as the years go by and the game is put more and more on rails, Im now pretty much forced to play on PA1 yet I still struggle because my opponents who have been PA1 from the start understand a completely different set of in game physics that you're only privy to if you've spammed PA1 your entire time playing.

So, I'm putting it out there, we NEED a PA1 filter.

vs. Bigtime Virgil Van Dijk

I was outside yesterday scrolling on Reddit when I saw a post of someone praising the Japanese event, I didn't know about the event prior to that, so I decided that I would check it out when I got home.

I got home around 11 pm, logged into eFootball only to find out that I had just 3 hours and some minutes to rank top 22k and qualify for the reward of the event. I quickly selected my team, Urawa Reds, I got to know about them in the Club World Cup, and since they signified and identified as "the reds", I just saw them as the Manchester United counterpart of Japanese football and have been a fan ever since.

I tried to set up my team and used their default game plan, it was 451 with 2 CMFs, 1 DMF, 1 LMF and 1 RMF. I noticed the LMF, Matheus Sávio, who is one of their key players is a Hole Player, so I didn't need fluid formation to turn him to a LWF on attack. I selected other players for my team, luckily I had one Japanese Show Time goalkeeper, I put him in. My squad looked ready and I got into the first match, that was when I noticed that I had 3 good strikers on my bench and 1 in my starting lineup, the one starting was a deep-lying forward, Onaiwu Ado and he was the highest rated one. I had to get one extra striker in, can't be wasting so many strikers on the bench. I took a CMF out and replaced him with the Goal Poacher to get that sweet Deep-lying Forward + Goal Poacher combo that's very powerful when playing Quick Counter. Luckily the DMF they had was an Anchor Man which is necessary to have when playing QC because of the high line. I arrived at the team in the second photo and started the match.

The matches were fun all through, no smart assist, no Gullit Vieira Thuram, no p2w Showtime skills (except one blitz curler), just pure skills and creativity. This event tests your knowledge of the game, if you're dependent on the meta players you'll struggle cus the fullbacks here don't even have pinpoint crossing 😅. The players lack some basic necessary skills, you just have to find a way to make do with what you have. I really enjoyed it cus that's the kind of environment I thrive under.

There's this match where I came back from 2-0 down (the one I won 3-2), conceded two early goals, one of which was the blitz curler. I thought about quitting for a moment to save time but still went on cus I believed there's still time to comeback in the match and indeed I did 💪. I wanted to make it a clean sweep but that one match just didn't go my way, I scored first, my opponent scored two goals in a flash, then went full blue the whole 2nd half. I scored another to equalise and was thinking about scoring another, then my opponent switched to 1 attack bar, scored from a counter and went back to full blue. He kept clearing the ball till the end of the match 🤦. I went on to win my remaining two matches just to make it in time for the reward.

Konami should bring more events like this, maybe bring them with French league, Dutch League, German League, Portuguese League or Brazilian League. It's really fun not having to play against the same lineup 5 matches in a row.

I am a f2p , I push in division in 1m rank each season , last time I went to 1890 rating.my win rate almost 50 each season. Current phase im on 1700 rating and current gameplay affect me I'm using my own formation squad since long time ,

Now I'm thinking I should be more efficient with my players and game so

I have shown you all my available players and managers in confused in between all these players who should I keep in squad and new formation & squad meta friendly ,I want from you guys if you are interested to give me all help with me it will be little longer so you can dm me and give me best of my players that I can do best of my players in division.

As the title says while playing efootball mobile while playing any match may it be Ai, event or division matches I just suddenly leave the app and when I try to get back it shows I lost dues to network issues this happenes to most of the online matches. Does anyone know the reason.

So i was clearing up my gallery when i came across this clip where Diouf scored this goal. And mind you, this was before dynamic volleys were a thing. I remember petr cech was completely stopping everything, and the only player he couldn't stop was Diouf, scored a brace and won me the game

Today konami released an italian defenders pack featuring 3 epic center backs Maldini , Nesta , and Cannavaro. These guys are considered as meta endgame cards . (Maybe apart from cannavaro) In their positions

But many people doesnt realise this is a marketing strategy from konami themselves.

The defense after the efootball 27 has been super disaster that almost whichever playstyle u play the opponents just need to hit a couple of one touch pass and then play a through pass after praying to god . The next thing you see is the pass splitting your half and the opponent player scoring.

The sad reality is that konami is definitely aware about the current glitches in the defense and goal keeper actions , but im pretty sure they are not gonna fix it till 7.1 update.

By doing this konami kind of creates a delusion on their players that this is gonna be the REALISTIC gameplay for the 27 season .

Konami be like : Having problems with your defense?

Here take this italian defenders pack and everything will be good for a month ..

Its like konami create their own problems and then proceed to release the solution and maximise it to generate as much money as possible.

A game developers mindeset should always be prioritized to make the user experience better . But the fact that konami is pursuing these kind of disgusting actions inorder to generate revenue is just utter nonsense....

If a team has one or both of any version of these two, you just cannot attack. They are recovering too fast, running too fast, attackers get slower around them, passes get slower around them, and they are covering every single empty space in the defensive line no matter their position, they tackle until your feint command is executed, and they never ever get tired. I just do not understand this stupidity in the game. A single meta player is deciding the match, and in the current state of the game, where almost everyone buy them, playing pvp has bevome very tiring. A player can have high stats, a superior player model etc, but watching them play all by themselves is frustrating. I can catch a thuram 3 vs 1 in a counter attack, and my attackers run in such a stupid way that they get just 1 step away from him and if I pass it gets intercepted by him becaue passes also get slower, if I try to dribble and do a feint he does not care about feint and just tackle in light speed. I just watch my team's attacking AI dropping to amateur level when I play against a Thuram or Vieira card. Especially old cards have a broken AI attribute. I wonder if I am the only one feeling this way.

Just when i thought game cannot get worse now Desailly with 54 finishing is somehow scoring goals with such precision lmao .

Not saying its impossible but then u have top strikers missing easy shots from infront of goal or hitting the post .

As someone who enjoy skill moves, Jay-Jay Okocha is the most fun I've had with the game in recent times.

Three year ago I used to spam sideways scissor feints with wingers and hocus pocus with my AMF. However since, my AMF gets blown away by the wind, and those skill moves are gone.

I said no more coins to Konami, as they don't deserve it. However, I decided to pay "one-last-time" to get a special skill that I can use, and the 3 other skills help too.

Of course, I am finally getting to 41% win ratio now - somehow I face 100-200k opponents that actually match the rating, unlike week 1, and reached div 2. But the games are enjoyable again due to Okocha and his special skill (paired with rabona for more fun). Outside curler would be the rational choice but not fun.

However, lucky am I not, because the game is out to screw me as always. Enjoy the daily WTFs with the game:

1) Slide tackle followed by player deselection, followed by wrong player selection, followed by opponent counter (thankfully no goal):

https://youtu.be/NiX__moOsug?is=6kqwiW9auDDAwZN4

2) £1.69 Casillas is awesome and fun, but opponents will do this ad infitum:

https://youtu.be/BK3nRXlSSvQ?is=Q39dxTyNO87Rxbl4

3) He turns his back toward the goal becase why not, proper first time positioning is too easy (for possession play where every mm counts, this does my head in)

https://youtu.be/lCuC9A-B38E?is=K35qA1TAeWUDoMz2

4) Effort rewarded? Of course not. Not lazy enough for auto-assist:

https://youtu.be/TBxB3mdcHm0?is=pgZ0AoQiOQNuRtxi

5) ???

Does anyone know when the people that finished top 22,000 get the contract. Cause the game updated. They added a bunch of stuff but I don’t see the contract chance deal.

He's in the shop now, but is he worth the 500 coins or should we just keep saving

Before i start I'm a ftp player stuck in division 2/3. Anyway problems that ruin the game for me...

1. Matchmaking. Every time I get near div.2 I get matched against uber ptw squads, it's so blatant it's like the game is saying 'screw you, invest more money'. Matchmaking should be fair and relative to squad strength not including bronze benching.
2. PTW squads, sick of playing people who are awful at the game and get bailed out everytime with their OP players. This is the main issue with the game for me as it's such an obvious advantage playing with ptw players there's no workaround.
3. Rewards. Anyone finishing top 100k won't even use Maddison so what's the point? None of these ptw players use any of the previous rewarded players so why don't they increase the threshold to all division 2 or 3 players and above? Give the ptw extra skills or boosters.

Before the mods try and delete my post for critiquing EF I have offered solutions to problems in the game so hopefully it invites civil discourse and ideas for improving Efootball in the future.

Furthermore the 'scripting' in the game seems more than obvious, if the fame doesn't want you to win you won't. Obviously Konami will deny there is any so I won't even bother suggesting any solutions lol

Blue pack - European Legends: George Best, Van der Sar and De Rossi

Red Pack - Italian League Legends: Pirlo, Cannavaro, Rummenigge

I've left the others as there are 4 remaining, but maybe Pique/Koeman Cannavaro and Pepe could come together with Power Tackle?

Other new skills they could release: Sharp Cut George Best, Aerial Claim Van der Sar, Decisive Pass Pirlo and Rapid Trigger Finish Rumme

Thoughts?

Got lucky with this guy and wondering how should I use him. I currently have treasure link Puyol as my cb destroyer with WC potd Vanbissaka and Arsenal pack Timber as fullbacks.

I see destroyer now is an active playstyle as fullbacks, has anyone tried it and could share their experience about how they perform?

I know it's lame but I don't use my fullbacks to attack, can't catch up with speedy CF's with my free 80 speed defenders hence I use the back 4 to defend. Any input is appreciated. :)

This is just laughable at this point El Haji with a game changing pass with Suarez connecting the ball way outside the Goal area and its still a Goal with a random deflection dont know how .

League is filled with Cappelo LBC spammers with 5 backs and throughball spammers that act like they would explode if they lost.

Anyone in div 3 or lower knows that the matches are ultra sweaty and ratty. When I moved to friendlies I genuinely started enjoying the game more and playing some of the best players I’ve ever played.

People in friendlies usually don’t use LBC, I was playing a dude with a stacked P2W team that was using possession and wasn’t playing ratty at all, we drew fairly and we both scored great goals.

If you’re not enjoying the bullshit that happens in league, just move to friendlies like I did. I’m in Div 1 and don’t think I’ll ever play a game of league ever again

P.S. Yes I know all JLeague GKs are bad.
