EA FC (FIFA) FUT player since 2019. Is eFootball finally my way out? 😅

I’ve played FIFA/EA FC since 2019. I’m done with the endless pack cycle and I won’t buy FC27.

I even tried FC Mobile and somehow spent €260 in ONE MONTH 😂 That was my wake-up call.

Now I tried eFootball and I really like the gameplay. Before I fully switch, I have a few questions for experienced players, especially former FUT players.

**1. How P2W is eFootball REALLY?**

In FC26 I was spending €30-50 almost every week to keep up with the power curve.

I don’t want to do that anymore.

I’m okay spending maybe €30-40 at the start and then playing mostly F2P. Later I would only spend occasionally on great value packs or Barcelona players. (I also like Real Madrid, please don’t kill me 😂)

Can I realistically compete and reach Division 1 like this?

How big is the difference between a good F2P team and a team full of Epics?

**2. How is the POWER CURVE? This is the most important question for me.**

If I get a top player today, will he still be good one year from now?

I don’t expect an S+ player to stay S+ forever.
For me this would be completely fine:
Today: S+
6 months: S
1 year: A

What I DON’T want is the FUT system where I constantly feel like I need new cards.

Do you still use cards that are 1-2 years old in high divisions?

How often do you actually need to upgrade your starting XI?

**3. How good is eFootball for F2P players?**

Do you get enough free players and coins?

What should a new player NEVER spend coins on?

Are there any packs that are actually good value?

**4. What is the endgame?**

Is Division 1 basically eFootball’s Rivals?

Is there anything similar to FUT Champions/Weekend League?

Are there tournaments or other competitive modes?

What do you grind after reaching Division 1?

**5. PS5 or Steam?**

I can play on PS5, Steam and mobile.

Mobile will probably be just for fun.

For serious ranked gameplay I’m deciding between PS5 and Steam. I’m leaning towards PS5 because I have a big TV.

Which has the better playerbase, matchmaking and connection?

**And finally, for people who switched from FUT:**

What do you miss from EA FC?

What does eFootball do better?

Do you feel less pressure to constantly spend money and upgrade your team?

I don’t need eFootball to be completely F2P. I’m happy to spend €30 occasionally.

I just want to build a team that can stay competitive for a LONG time without feeling like I need to open €30-50 of packs every week.

Thanks for any advice! 🙏
