Shadow Hunt is going to be used to resell Ferdinand, Varane, Saliba, Thuram and all the good defenders, lol Coinami
This is the same tactic they use every time; introduce some RPG skill to resale old players. They even did it with managers, Link-up is used to resell managers, the new Beckenbauer and the old one are exactly the same Beckenbauer that won the world cup with Germany that year.

Finally a useful free Drogba card
The free Drogba card from last year was a joke, good at only one thing and terrible at everything else, probably Konami took the feedback from usage and finally delivered a Drogba card worth using.
The old one had way better heading and aerial dominance but with Bullet Header, this new one makes up for it, then goes on to beat the old one in literally everything else.
If you already have Zlatan, this new Drogba can serve as a super-sub for him and if you don't, he can be your main Fox in the Box striker, I really hope I get this card cus I love to play Out Wide with Aggressive Centring link-up.
For the build, I tried to make him as optimised as possible, getting the most out of his progression points. The 13th point on Dexterity seems too expensive but when you consider that it takes his acceleration from 85 to 87, I think it's worth it cus it becomes 4 stats points for 4 progression points, which is usually the same rate for progression points from 9-12 (3 for 3).
7 aerial points along with the Aerial booster is just enough to reach the heading threshold (89) for powerful headers, with Bullet Header skill, he will sufficiently score headers with 89 heading.
6 dribbling points is just the adequate amount to get his ball control from 85 to 87, ball control is very important for strikers.
As for the skills, One-touch Pass , Through Passing and Long Range Shooting are essential for strikers, Outside Curler is important due to the lack of a perfect weak foot and you can swap CBT for Super-sub if that's what you plan to use him for.
Good luck 👍.

eFootball x Naruto Collaboration: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
The Good:
Apart from the title screen, the other good part of this campaign has been the attention it's garnered on social media. Aside the official eFootball and partners social media accounts, other random accounts have seen a lot of attention on their posts relating to Neyruto and co. especially due to the rasenshuriken shots and cinematic celebrations.
For example, let's take a look at the this TikTok account that posts eFootball content; eFootball dituthichdapes. Before this campaign, the highest likes he'd gotten from his pinned posts were 600k+ likes.
eFootball dituthichdapes pinned posts
Now, two posts including eFootball x Naruto characters have both hit 700k+ likes.
And the ultimate Neyruto post hit, 1.2m likes and is now his top pinned posts.
Other notable accounts like Hater Central on X has made funny posts about the campaign, while they may be making fun of it, eFootball is still getting publicity which is the entire point of collabs in general.
Although some people might not like the stunning shot visual effects, they are actually what makes the collab feel real like an actual collab along with the cinematic celebrations. I don't think there would have been a better way to integrate Naruto elements into eFootball in a way that doesn't affect the gameplay.
The Bad:
The free Naruto themed cards are hot trash, no sugar-coating. These cards are not even up to POTW level. They come without the ability to manually build them like POTW cards while still being low-rated like highlight cards, literally the worst of both worlds. Apart from Kubo and Neymar, there is literally no reason to use the others unless you use highlight and POTW cards in events. They could have given us Showtime cards that are at least at the level of free Sheva.
The Ugly:
They put the proper collab cards that come with the visual effects and actual usability behind a paywall, that means the collab was never for f2p. It was just a scheme to sell shiny cards and it probably worked. Personally I have decided to stop spending money on this game but I have been thinking of that Bale pack since it came out. Not because I really need the players in the pack to improve my team, it just because of my love for the Naruto anime. It's an ugly trick to get us to give them money and a lot already probably fell for it.

I can't believe people said this card is trash
I shared a Sheva build on Sheva day and some people were saying that the card is trash, others said my build is trash too, so I took it upon myself to actually use Sheva and prove the doubters wrong.
This season, I have exclusively used this formation, with Sheva spearheading the attack, in all my division matches.
I have gotten to division 2 in just 12 matches with an 83% win rate (I think my highest ever), the single loss was a 4-3 loss, and the draw was 3-3.
Some might argue that squad inherently boast strength and Sheva is being carried but that is not true. In the 12 matches, Sheva has contributed 12 goals and 6 assists, that's literally a goal per game.
These are his stats now after 12 division matches
He was even the MOTM in the decisive game that secured my promotion to Division 2 (the first screenshot).
The best thing about Sheva is his positioning, he's smart, he is always at the right place at the right time and that's basically 70% of what you need from a striker. He also serves as a dependable aerial and ground pivot. When I'm being pressed at the back, I just play a long ball towards him and he frequently wins the aerial duels delivering the second ball to one of my AMFs, then he immediately starts making runs to find space for himself. He can't be bodied off the ball too because he's not small and I gave him 8 aerial points.
The only real problem I have with him is his shooting. His kicking power and finishing aren't that high so he fails to bury some chances that my p2w Sheva will score, but since he's ambipedal he compensates for that.
Overall he's a good free card imo that can do anything you want it to do to a reliable degree, he performs more than his stats suggest largely due to Sheva's generally favourable player ID(not too big or small, and a perfect weak foot). People are expecting a free striker to be cracked like p2w cyborgs but that's never gonna happen, just appreciate the free card for what it is.
I will continue using this Sheva and get to division 1 with him. Below is my p2w Sheva btw.
