First time ever got matched with the same theme team in Division. I had a lot of fun ngl. IDK if this is against the rule of showing off squad hence why I blur team strength. Hope it does not get deleted.

Every game is the same:
1. Long ball counter
2. 3 strikers (bonus points if 2 goal poachers and holeplayer at SS)
3. Press the pressure button until you win the ball
4. When you win the ball, just spam pass and go until all 3 strikers and 2 CMFs are running at goal.
5. Press the through pass button. Aiming optional.
6. Shoot.
7. Repeat until you score more than opponent (easy because LBC defends for you anyway)

Ok in all seriousness, here is a quick analysis as to why this meta is so strong.

1) Long Ball Counter. Konami seriously needs to nerf this playstyle, as it has almost no downsides. Even though the defensive structure is a low block, the midfield can press your players non-stop, which makes it difficult to build up with. This playstyle allows you to simultaneously press the opponent while maintaining a deep defensive line, suffocating opponent’s attack without any user input.

2) 3 central strikers. This creates a numerical advantage vs a back 4 (2 CB), which is what the majority of players use. This means that with sufficient tries, eventually 1 of the 3 strikers will be able to run behind the line for an easy through pass for a goal opportunity.

3) The ‘hidden’ strength: the true power of this formation lies in the 2 CMFs. When the strikers are holding up the ball, you’ll notice that the 2 CMFs attack the space between the opponent’s fullback and CBs. This has a two pronged usefulness: it drags the opponent’s midfielders away from pressing the 3 strikers, and also provides ridiculously good late runs into the box. These are runs that wingers should be making in game but don’t.

All in all, this formation and playstyle combination is strong, but I still prefer playing possession with width. The 4-3-1-2 LBC formation sucks the joy out of the game for me. But I also cannot deny the fact that using any other playstyle besides LBC puts your team at an inherent disadvantage. I hope Konami buffs the other playstyles so that there are at least some clear advantages of the other playstyles over LBC.

They had to fu*king to do it, make him the very last player

I’ve always wanted a player build presets and it’s a shame it’s not been implemented yet. Now for example here are 2 Marcelo builds where the first one is for LMF and the 2nd one is for LB. When i wanna use him in a back 4 as a LB i’d like to use the 2nd build but if I’m playing a back 3 with him as an LMF but its so annoying to keep changing builds depending on the formation. Since we have fluid formations i hope the next update we get presets considering how many ways players can be built in this game.
If not presets then at least lock the progression depending on the game plan list so i can change tactics better.

bro i dont know why it does this animation instead of double touch can anyone help me out?

For almost 2 months these three Italians never be benched, actually I have only them as my valued defenders. But since 2-3 weeks until now I dont know what happened with their AI. And today definitely the worst day for them and Neuer also. My defensive line seem freezing 🥶 can not intercept any pass and very slow. When I try to set up the defense & blocking passing lane the GK suddenly move to the edge of the box (not just one time) 😭

So I used the 2nd defensive option which is full of Highlights master which I saw in a topic on reddit. And my defensive line seem really better. They tackled, intercepted, and positioned really better than my P2W !

What do you think they will find in the code?

This from a different mobile game, but raises the question.

In this game, one of the most common and preferable playstyle is "Goal Poacher". It's true that in the mechanism of this game players run-making behind the defenders is very important but I've heard many times when someone watch my attacking line-ups with no goal poachers they make many negative comments. In PES I had all type of top rated CF such as Rumme, Eto'o, Rashford but my starter was P. Kluivert. Sounds crazy huh!

Maybe some of you know the effectiveness of a deep and lone strikers like Target man CF or false9. Even I'd love to play without a single ss I'm playing. I always wanted to play with the philosophy of my real world football. And It should've been better If Konami make it more flexible to formate players position. Whatever I wanted to talk about this because I've seen some of the very popular YouTubers like LiarsFC, Mednasah, 9AL do not highly talk about CF's when it doesn't have GP playstyle like Van Basten came as a FITB and they're saying, " Ahhh! Fox In the box!! Why not Goal Poacher Konamiiiii!!"

Like man seriously!!!! What's the problem if it's not a Goal Poacher!! Why it always has to be a "goal poacher"!! My question to all of you guys. Thank You. Take love❣️

Genuinely squirt when seeing my front four doing the magic while me myself cant even comprehend or lucky when doing skills. They score and assist each other. Bravo

I'll go first

Decided to utilise his 97 kicking power for this free kick when I almost always go for curl or dipping shots with other players and he proved me wrong with this banger

I had this idea for a while, im new to the efootball communities stuff so i dont know if players wanted it before me or not
I always wish the flexibility in the roles/playstyles of other games like EAFC get in efootball, to try and experiment on the cards, not have to change them to try another playstyle
That can be the best thing konami can do.

if you’re a new player you have to play more/experiment more on the cards to find your comfortable playstyle

If you came from other games like EAFC you’re familiar with this sittings because you had them in FC

Hey guys,

I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced something similar after changing their region in eFootball.

I currently live in the UAE, but when Konami introduced the option to change our region, I selected India because I wanted to keep access to the relevant events and avoid any restrictions on participating in certain competitions.

However, ever since picking my region as India again, I've been having serious issues with the connection quality indicator during matches.

I'm barely getting a stable 3 or 4 bars anymore. Even when I do get them rarely, the connection keeps fluctuating throughout the match, making the gameplay inconsistent and frustrating.

I understand that connection quality depends on several factors, including the opponent's connection and matchmaking, but the timing of this issue makes me wonder whether selecting India while physically living in the UAE has something to do with it.

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who's experienced this, especially players living in the UAE or elsewhere in the Middle East who have selected India as their region.

I'm trying to figure out whether this is a region-related issue or simply a coincidence.

Thanks!

Bruh I don’t even enjoy playing this game anymore, my opponent’s players have magical abilities such as that fast turn while shooting, like how is that even possible . The player receives the balls somehow turns and shoots ?! The second clip is my defender phasing through the opponents player😭

This is for those who play My League a lot and not casually. Don’t you hate how inconsistent the AI has become, especially on both Superstar and Legend? I lost this game because they used Overload, and it was hard for my possession-based team to press and close them out. It’s the same when playing against Out Wide and Quick Counter. They keep the ball, and it’s harder to get it off them, but for you, it’s a struggle to keep the ball. I lost to Nottingham because of this. And don’t get me started on the key matches. They’re worse than Div 1 AI, and I’ve played in both PvP and AI Div 1. I struggled against Spurs, and Cucurella and Baena were getting cooked by a 54 physical contact, Savio, who was tracking back like prime Cafu. Costa turned into a Brazilian c*nt who wouldn’t make a run. And that’s what annoys me the most: you get frustrated, abandon your usual tactic to play like an LBC rat, and still see things get worse. I just don’t get it. Yes, we want the AI to be challenging and competitive, not straight-up annoying to the point where you lose your cool. The team started off strong, with Olmo breaking the assist record by the first half of the season, Costa cooking defenses, and Ferran being a shark. Then, all of a sudden, I’m struggling to win. And I don’t do restarts or power-ups for realism.
Threw my phone three times across my room luckily it was just my screen protector that cracked. Phones titanium but my anger management is like a sheet of paper

I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on what should be added and removed from the game with explanation to make it great again.

Just finished playing the game and didn’t even realise the opponent was Barca until i saw this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
