I’m looking at the in-depth comparison between 107 Peter Schmeichel and 103 Petr Čech (image attached), and on paper, Schmeichel looks like an absolute god.

He beats Čech in almost every main stats category:

+2 GK Awareness (99 vs 97)

+6 GK Catching (96 vs 90)

+9 GK Parrying (99 vs 90)

+2 GK Reflexes (99 vs 97)

+2 GK Reach (99 vs 97)

But looking closer at the physical models, Čech still holds the size advantage. He has +2.3 Leg Coverage and is physically taller (198.5cm vs 196.3cm in leg length height calculation here).

For those who have used both in Division 1 PvP: Is Schmeichel’s double booster and maxed-out 99 stats a massive, noticeable upgrade over Čech, or does Čech's larger player model and reach still make him perform just as well in-game?

Is it worth spending big for Schmeichel if I already have this Čech?

​To guarantee clearing a 150-player box, you need 13,500 coins. Grinding every free weekly event, login, and campaign gives you roughly 1,200 to 1,400 coins a month.

​Here is the realistic timeline for a pure F2P player:

​1 Box (3 Epics): 10 to 11 months of absolute saving.

​Full Starting 11: 3 to 4 years.

​Starting 11 + Bench: 5+ years.

​The Reality: Unless you have god-tier luck on 100-coin singles, a full F2P Epic squad is a myth. By the time you finish the team, power creep will have completely outdated your oldest cards.

I’ve officially decided to stop spending and save up for a guaranteed 13.5k pack.

My squad is almost complete, but I’m missing a few "Endgame" names.

I want someone who won't be replaced by a random POTW card in two months!

I’ve been scratching my head over this one. On paper, 105 Oliver Kahn should be the king of the goal. He’s a newer card from the eFootball 25 era, has a higher overall rating, and technically superior stats in almost every category. Meanwhile, this 103 Petr Čech is an old card from eFootball 24.

Despite the rating gap, Čech is consistently pulling off "impossible" saves while Kahn seems to struggle.

Is it time to admit that Overall Rating doesn't mean everything for GKs? It feels like Konami gave Kahn the 105 rating to sell the new pack, but the eFootball 24 Čech is still the "glitch" card that refuses to be dethroned.

We're well into the eFootball 26 cycle now, and I’m curious to see what the community thinks about the Big Time Messi trio.

Looking at the 2022, 2015, and 2009 Big Time Messi cards. For those playing in high Division PVP right now, are these still considered endgame, or has the power creep left them behind? Which version do you think aged the best?

Back when they dropped, they completely dominated the game. But with the current meta leaning so heavily into high-speed, physical defenders and aggressive pressing, do they still hold a spot in your starting 11?

I’ve reached the point where I’m convinced that goalkeepers are the most inconsistent part of the engine. No matter who you have between the posts, you are still going to concede against good shot placement.

Even with these 107-rated legends, there are matches where they feel completely unresponsive. You can have 99+ in every GK stat, but if the game decides a Blitz Curler or a well-timed Stunning Shot is going in, they just stand there and watch.

I’ve seen my Van der Sar pull off a triple save one game, and then let a slow roller pass his foot the next. It feels like the higher the rating, the more likely the scripting is to humble you.

see all of you in this sub "saving" for 10 months just to pull 3 guaranteed Epics. Honestly, what’s the point?

I just finished my Div 1 run with a perfect 23-0-0 record. No draws, no "scripting" excuses, just pure dominance. While the F2P community is out here praying for maintenance coins and free POTS cards, the P2W side is ruling this game with an iron fist.

Stop saving for 10 months just to get a taste of what a real squad feels like. This game is built for the whales, and the 100% win rate proves it.

Is there even a single F2P player in here who’s touched a 100% win rate this phase? I’ll wait.

Every time I see these four in the loading screen, I already know it’s going to be a long, painful match.

If you’re pushing for the top ranks, you’re basically running into this wall every second game.

Individually they are a nightmare, but when someone has all four in the same XI? It’s basically the final boss of eFootball.
