Petit is back! Should you pull for the '98 World Cup Pack?

⚽️ Owen: 5-0-10-9-12-3-0 Agility

Compared to his old card, this is a differentiated "power-creep" version with enhanced dribbling. The stat panel slightly buffs his dribbling ability, but his Offensive Awareness and Speed are ↓2, and his Phenomenal Finishing has been replaced by Momentum Dribbling. In the current engine, short center-forwards are no longer meta, so this card isn't particularly sincere.

⚽️ Davids: 0-4-0-8-10-5-12 Agility

Compared to his old card, his stats are a slight power-creep upgrade, mainly adding the Shadow Hunt skill. Unfortunately, his playstyle strictly locks him out of playing as a Central Midfielder (CMF). Being only 168cm tall makes him quite awkward to use as a Defensive Midfielder (DMF). However, players who enjoy watching a mad dog sprinting all over the backfield can definitely give him a try.

⚽️ Petit: 1-4-4-8-10-4-11 + Duelling (CMF & DMF) / 0-0-0-10-10-4-12 + Duelling (Defensive Fullback)

Gone for two years, and he returns still looking like a total mascot. As a box-to-box midfielder with a relatively large 185cm player model, when played as a CMF, his dribbling, physical presence, and ST skills are all a tier below Big Time (BT) Rice.

He does, however, share a relatively balanced, differentiated advantage with Karembeu, who also has "Medium" weak-foot usage.

When played as a stay-at-back defensive fullback, his defensive stats and speed are both about 6 points lower than Bergomi's. Petit’s slightly larger model can't bridge that gap. Most importantly, he lacks the Defensive Fullback playstyle. Right now, the top five players in the defensive fullback tier list all have the Defensive Fullback style; this isn't something an unstyled player can simply replicate by being given a defensive instruction.

I feel like Petit as a stay-at-back fullback can actually be compared to Caicedo—Petit has a bigger player model but is a bit slower. Are there any hardcore FC (FIFA) players here who can explain how Petit managed to become a top-tier "meta beast" over in that game?

The Fleeting Shooting Star of World Cup '14: Mario Götze Review

⚽️ Götze: 4-4-8-10-12-4-0 + Agility / Additional Skills: Long Range Shooting

https://preview.redd.it/67w8i69aj1bh1.png?width=2000&format=png&auto=webp&s=339045098aa3022a6a751dfe8c2e2c3cfe5440cb

His face stats actually aren't that bad. Unfortunately, his playstyle and skills completely clash with the vastly superior Pelé card. In comparison, Götze falls a bit short in terms of 'triple dribbling' stats, speed, and weak foot usage. His main strength, however, is his maxed-out Offensive Awareness.

Let's take a look at how Götze actually performs in-game—

————————————————————————

https://reddit.com/link/1umjacn/video/2sty6qqnk1bh1/player

————————————————————————

The recommended way to use him is to let him make plenty of off-the-ball runs. After all, this is a card with high Offensive Awareness and high Acceleration. Whether you manually trigger a forward run or rely on his own active positioning, both are absolutely outstanding. Since the 'Deep-lying Forward' playstyle naturally triggers from a deeper position, his Offensive Awareness and high Acceleration will give him a very comfortable space to chase down through balls! However, with a slightly weaker weak foot and mediocre physical stats, you definitely feel his ceiling in actual gameplay.

Featured Goalkeepers Tier List (First Edition July 3rd)

https://preview.redd.it/8eao08x9d1bh1.png?width=970&format=png&auto=webp&s=2cb4e8d19e204e07740e82280f5062d696462ad3

The T0 tier corresponds to the average performance level of Big Time (BT), Show Time (ST), and Epic cards. Featured cards are graded using SSS, SS, and S tiers: Top-tier Featured cards equate to a T0/T0.5 rating, while Excellent Featured cards correspond to the T1 tier. Among Featured Center Forwards (CFs), the National Team versions of Dembélé and Mbappé are both excellent, high-speed Goal Poachers, and I believe they are good enough to reach the T0 tier.

Within the same tier of the Featured card rankings, the order of players does not represent a specific ranking (no particular order). This breakdown may not be fully comprehensive; its primary purpose is simply to establish an evaluative framework for Featured players.

This chart was finalized after several days of discussion and voting, drawing references from player communities deeply invested in Featured cards, such as "Half Sugar with Ice" (半糖加冰). Please note that it was not formed through dual-panel voting by the Professional and Public groups, but I hope it still serves as a useful reference for you.

The Featured Goalkeepers tier list takes into account both the goalkeeper evaluation formula I modeled previously and their actual on-pitch performance. The only two SSS-tier Featured Goalkeepers can comfortably match the level of the lower-end Top 10 T0 paywalled/premium cards:

In-Depth Review: Full-back Finisher Marcelo

⚽️ Marcelo: 0-4-8-10-10-4-6 + Dribbling / Additional Skills: Man Marking, Interception, Blocking, Sliding Tackle

https://preview.redd.it/fw9llt4c71bh1.png?width=2000&format=png&auto=webp&s=520e80512b3a4d1898b7413a28ba96fee9692c21

This card represents an attempt to revive an off-meta playstyle by giving it premium/luxurious stats. The new card directly stacks stats on top of the recently released old version, boosting all four defensive stats by +2 and physical contact by +3. Phenomenal Pass is also the absolute best skill for playmaking players. Prior to this, the only Epic/Double Booster players with the 'Full-back Finisher' playstyle were Cancelo and O'Riley—it was practically a forgotten playstyle.

The experience is as follows:

Everyone knows that Full-back Finishers love to make runs into the central areas, but this behavior is actually much more noticeable when there is a wide midfielder (LMF/RMF) or winger (LWF/RWF) in the lineup. Furthermore, for Long Ball Counter (LBC), full-backs don't get many opportunities to make forward runs to begin with, so the unique movement of a Full-back Finisher won't really shine in that playstyle. It is much more pronounced in Possession Game. If you play Long Ball Counter but still want to make the most of Full-back Finisher Marcelo, you should consciously look to run the play through him and get the ball to his feet.

  1. A Full-back Finisher can be viewed as a deeper-positioned 'Creative Playmaker' on the flank, activating the attack in that half-space through their own movement and link-up play. Once they cut into the center, manual passing further complements their central playmaking role.

  2. The movement of a Full-back Finisher can be triggered by executing combinations and link-up play in the half-spaces. This playstyle requires a lot of resources and possession; it doesn't feel like an Offensive Fullback who acts as a sidekick, overlapping down the flank just to whip in a cross.

  3. The Full-back Finisher playstyle is inherently poor at defending. Their AI positioning awareness is lacking (even worse than an Offensive Fullback), and they don't drop back into position in time—which is tied to the fact that they position themselves closer to the middle when pushing forward to attack. If you use a Full-back Finisher, you should maximize their attacking talents; on the defensive end, you'll just have to rely on a 3-CB formation or double pivots to clean up their mess.

Here is how it plays out in-game—

————————————————————————

https://reddit.com/link/1umhz7p/video/kfht9wf8b1bh1/player

————————————————————————

If you can't get used to the Full-back Finisher playstyle, you might as well play him at wide midfielder (LMF/RMF) to deactivate his playstyle, and then apply a 'Defensive' instruction to have him effectively play the role of an Offensive Fullback.

⚽️ Rating: Top 5 Wide Midfielder / Top 5 Full-back

Top 5 for Full-back Finisher Marcelo—is that fair?

Buffed Lahm's Physical Contact to 80, look how he plays

Lahm: 0-4-10-8-8-7-6 + Aerial Block

https://preview.redd.it/v8ucfgt8fuah1.png?width=2000&format=png&auto=webp&s=1ca4e0fa31ae82c793da7903b9abacdf6155f5d0

One major highlight of this Lahm card is that his Physical Contact can reach 80, which is pretty important for shielding the ball and holding off defenders on the flank while dribbling (whether sideways or with his back to goal). In the match below, Lahm bagged a hat-trick of assists while physically brushing off opponents three separate times—check it out for reference:

https://reddit.com/link/1uln4ze/video/my0iz74hfuah1/player

Of course, we have to look at this rationally. Compared to the old Lahm, the new Lahm is only 2cm taller in terms of physical stats. I'm just sharing a potential stat allocation strategy for reference, not trying to mindlessly hype the new card. I still stand by my view on these two cards: if you already have the old one, there's no need to pull for the new one.

Today's POTD features an SSS-tier Card!

https://preview.redd.it/ttw6tzq7etah1.png?width=552&format=png&auto=webp&s=b86c63360de41338690b39daa98548e0315ff778

First of all, Wan-Bissaka truly deserves this high-stat POTD card

(Building a DR Congo national theme team is basically pointless; today's discussion is based on 0 team boosts.)

This newly released Wan-Bissaka card focuses on one keyword: Balanced!

As you can see from the comparison below, Wan-Bissaka's defining traits have always been maxed-out speed + elite tackling, paired with average physical contact and non-top-tier defensive awareness.

However, this POTD card patches up his defensive awareness and physical stats, while also making him somewhat viable on the attacking end: his dribbling/ball control and passing have been buffed, and he comes with essential attacking skills like 'Through Passing,' 'Pinpoint Crossing,' 'Double Touch,' and 'One-touch Pass,' allowing him to occasionally push forward and assist.

That being said, his signature traits—insane speed and tackling—are no longer quite as distinct.

https://preview.redd.it/s6zz4zz5ftah1.png?width=1197&format=png&auto=webp&s=d8f6cb95ae8ebbe2166e3eed83866025222f21a9

In my opinion, this POTD Wan-Bissaka is slightly inferior to his BT (Big Time) version, but better than his two best featured cards. Because of his player model, slightly better attributes, and superior attacking output, he is a bit better than Walker. He can even compete for a spot in the top 10 T0 Defensive Fullbacks among pay-to-win cards (putting him on par with single-booster Thuram):

Among featured cards, he is a locked-in SSS-tier, and you could even make a strong case for him being the best featured defender in the game:

Big Time Lahm / Klose Pack: Initial Player Builds & Analysis

⚽️ Klose: 4-0-6-8-12-7-0-4 + Off-the-Ball Movement

I’ve already seen a lot of comparisons from you guys: Klose can't compete with Big Time Ronaldo, can't compete with Ayase Ueda, and can't even compete with Wang Yudong (CN Server exclusive)...

The core issue is that a "bomber" style striker like Klose, who isn't remarkably tall in real life, is incredibly hard to make viable in-game. The game relies way too heavily on player models.

⚽️ Götze: 4-4-8-10-12-4-0 + Agility — Also a Deep-Lying Forward with dual unactivated playstyles, he is best compared to Pelé.

Götze is still at a massive disadvantage here: his Dribbling is ↓7, Tight Possession ↓3, Speed and Acceleration both ↓3, and Physical Contact ↓5. On top of that, he lacks a 4-star Weak Foot and doesn't possess that smooth 173cm dribbling feel.

Götze's only real advantage is his Offensive Awareness (↑4). While the essence of a Deep-Lying Forward lies in their AI movement to find open space, any elite off-the-ball run still fundamentally relies on pace. Overall, this card still falls short of the Pelé card released a year ago.

⚽️ Lahm: 0-4-10-8-8-7-6 + Aerial Block —

This stat allocation combined with the dual booster feels absolutely perfect. It perfectly hits the sweet spot to satisfy this Big Time Lahm's requirement of reaching 80 Physical Contact and 90 Dribbling.

Looking at the stats, the new Lahm is a slight powercreep over the old one (Lofted Pass ↑2, Tackling ↑2, Engagement ↑2, Speed ↑1, Physical Contact ↑2).

Among these, the +2 to Physical Contact is the most crucial. First off, fullbacks frequently find themselves in shielding or side-on body contact situations, so having adequate physical strength is vital.

Furthermore, for a card like Lahm—whose defensive stats, dribbling, passing, and pace are already fully optimized—Physical Contact was the single most urgent attribute needing a buff.

In my reply to the previous post, I mentioned that the skill swapping from "Long-reach Tackle" to "Shadow Hunt" felt like a downgrade (reverse powercreep). To be more precise now: in a 4-back formation, "Long-reach Tackle" is undeniably more important.

However, in a 5-back system, because the wingbacks are heavily involved in the attack, you encounter far more recovery-run scenarios—which highlights the value of "Shadow Hunt" to some extent. That being said, overall, "Long-reach Tackle" is still strictly the superior skill.

As the meta shifts with new updates, the percentage of players using offensive fullbacks is steadily increasing. Most prefer a 4-back formation utilizing a "3 defensive, 1 offensive" setup, whereas 5-back formations

are relatively less common.

That said, Lahm is clearly better suited for the total-attack wingback role found in 5-back systems.

If you don't already own his previous version, this card is worth pulling for depending on your playstyle. However, if you already have the older version, upgrading to this new one isn't really necessary.

June Packs Power Ranking

(Rules: Top 3 = 10 pts, Top 5 = 5 pts, Top 10 = 3 pts; off-meta positions like Side Midfielder = -1 pt; ratings for packs released at the end of the month are not yet out)

Above is the overview of the international server's June card pack power levels. June marked the World Cup cycle, but the released packs seem to generally lack strength.

⚽️ The pack that players were most eager to draw from was the Nmecha/Messi/Mbappé pack. The 100-player ST pack and the World Cup hype boosted its popularity, and it ultimately cracked the Top 3 thanks to Nmecha. With a total score of 13 points, the value of this pack definitely lived up to the players' enthusiasm.

⚽️ The pack players were least eager to draw from was the Rivaldo/Beckham/Kahn pack. In the end, its measly score of 3 points proved that the community's eyes are sharp.

⚽️ The pack with the highest power level was Varane/Benatia/Kompany, pulling in a total of 16 points. All three defenders are completely viable, making this pack especially perfect for new accounts looking to gear up and reinforce their backline during the early-game grind.

According to the pattern, they should release the next World Cup BT cards soon

https://preview.redd.it/gqzauy2zymah1.png?width=1077&format=png&auto=webp&s=99e4e40f7f518d3c7cb1c219a94876ff6a80aa80

The pattern for World Cup card releases so far is: only the tournament champions can get BT cards! Based on this pattern, I think the BT cards that might be dropped during the upcoming two-week World Cup cycle are—

1. Mbappé (2018 Champion)

https://preview.redd.it/j1k4hl3dzmah1.png?width=1067&format=png&auto=webp&s=5183d32285709ef60829dec160791100eaf3fd5b

Considering that Mbappé will likely get another BT card after the World Cup, the 2018 version should focus on a differentiated advantage: the 'beauty of regret.' His playstyle could be the generally unpopular 'Prolific Winger,' with his overall stats kept relatively restrained. The main highlights would be his Pace and Dribbling, focusing entirely on top-tier maximum speed. For skills, give him highly speed-oriented ones like 'Acceleration Burst' and 'Attacking Surget'! Back in 2018, Mbappé did indeed play as a right winger, built purely for extreme speed.

2. Vieira (1998 Champion)

https://preview.redd.it/nhkw1aq60nah1.png?width=1067&format=png&auto=webp&s=567039f4b00182a720751cc04b6fef60608b196e

Knowing the developers' usual mindset, I'd bet anything that the next Vieira card will absolutely not be given 'Long-reach Tackle'. The strongest skills are almost always withheld from players with broken/meta physical models—Ferdinand is a prime example, it's all about pushing a 'differentiated advantage.'

Back then, they handed out 'Bullet Header' to everyone but Koller, only to finally give it to him on March 24, 2025—just for the cross-and-head meta to get completely nerfed in the engine less than a month later. Is the engine going to nerf giant-model DMs? Highly unlikely. Since Anchor Man Vieira is already dominant enough as it is, the devs don't even need to include 'Long-reach Tackle' to bait people into spending. Just give him 'Fortress', boost his Pace and Acceleration to the 90s, and call it a day. Players will still whale for him anyway, right? That’s just how toothpaste-squeezing (incremental updates) works.

3. Lahm (2014 Champion)

https://preview.redd.it/liir8ciw0nah1.png?width=1067&format=png&auto=webp&s=c750bf136b68018f8af5e8f7ef82e95d4148a52e

As an Offensive Full-back, Lahm has already been optimized to the absolute limit under the current card-release meta. If a new card drops, it’ll probably be an Orchestrator defensive midfielder. However, Orchestrator Lahm cards are usually pretty mid, so this would likely be a rather lackluster BT card. (Man, Bro... why am I being so realistic even when I'm just fantasizing?!)

F2P DMF Tier List (First Edition: July 1st)

eFootball isn't just about BT (Big Time), Epic, or ST (Showtime) cards. To provide a reference for budget spenders and theme team players, let's put the Featured DMFs into tiers.

Tier Scaling: Tier 0 (T0) represents the average performance level of BT (Big Time), ST (Showtime), and Epic cards. For Featured cards, we use SSS, SS, and S tiers: Top-tier Featured cards equate to T0/T0.5 ratings, while Excellent Featured cards correspond to T1. For example, among Featured Center Forwards (CFs), National Team Dembélé and Mbappé are both excellent, high-speed Goal Poachers, which I believe are good enough to reach T0 level.

Ranking Order: Within the same tier, players are listed in no particular order. This list may not be fully exhaustive; the main goal is simply to establish a evaluation framework for Featured players.

Credits & Methodology: This chart was finalized after several days of discussion and voting, drawing heavily on insights from player communities dedicated to Featured cards (such as "Half Sugar with Ice" / 半糖加冰). Please note that this was not voted on by a dual committee of pro and casual players, but we hope it serves as a helpful reference for you.

Player Stats: Since this guide covers a large number of players, I will post the in-game stats for some of them in the comments section so we can have more targeted discussions.

The Sole SSS-Tier: Zakaria (0-0-0-10-9-1-12)

⬆️ 191cm with a 12-point Defending build. For a long time, his physical player model among Anchor Man DMFs has been second only to Patrick Vieira, making his title as the undisputed #1 Featured DMF well-deserved.

Beyond the massive player model, his 99 Engagement is a massive highlight; he intercepts in midfield right outside the penalty box, and putting a bit of extra bite into his tackles yields great results.

Compared to his other versions, his standout advantage is *90 [Passing/Stamina] **, and he comes equipped with One-touch Pass + Through Passing. His only drawback is his 2 Weak Foot usage/accuracy.

Overall Rankings Update | Top 10 Second Strikers & Attacking Midfielders (July 1st)

https://preview.redd.it/tzvyamowdmah1.png?width=1525&format=png&auto=webp&s=a55a443e5da0fc18ca0b0cdab20057b31d4d4304

⚽️ BT Ronaldinho (Second Striker): Pro Group: 10 | Public Group: 8 | Overall Rank: 9

Ronaldinho is better suited for a ball-carrying style of play, so his natural ranking as a second striker isn't as high as it is at attacking midfielder. However, thanks to this Big Time (BT) card's raw stats, relatively large player model, and long legs, playing him as a second striker is still a perfectly viable option.

https://preview.redd.it/me8fb5b9emah1.png?width=1525&format=png&auto=webp&s=8595de32c09522aba36f9f03f1fba3d80fbcd571

⚽️ BT Ronaldinho (Attacking Midfielder): Pro Group: 6 | Public Group: 5 | Overall Rank: 6

In version 5.5.0—a "chaotic meta" where it's quite difficult to completely beat defenders—dribblers with a medium-to-large physical model and great on-ball feel like Ronaldinho are highly sought after. This is especially true given his unique "Blitz Curler" animation and a wide array of intricate skill moves and feints. While he doesn't quite make the top three, he is incredibly fun to use. Perfect for players who love executing skill moves.

https://preview.redd.it/ymv3em4lemah1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=a628b4bf6c4a28a013e678e37a1aa4d0b2a18947

⚽️ Cafu (Attacking Full-back): Rank 7

For positions that require balancing both attacking and defensive duties, the addition of "Long-reach Tackle" always bumps a player up an entire tier. This was true for BT Rice, true for Matthäus, and it is no different for this Cafu card.

https://preview.redd.it/1xbeclvefmah1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=7fa2636dd4bc2ca88826521c794261a595568190

Additionally, here are the rankings being announced today:

⚽️ David (Centre Forward): Rank 18 | ⚽️ Dummy Runner Kaká (Second Striker): Rank 20 / (Attacking Midfielder): Rank 21.

Ultimately, the value evaluation of the two recent packs is as follows—

The David/Cristiano Ronaldo ST (Showtime) pack is a 100-player box, so it’s understandable that no players made it into the top ten.

ST Dembélé Review

⚽️ Points Allocation: 6-3-10-10-8-3-0 / Added Skills: Outside Curler, One-touch Pass, Acrobatic Finishing

Evaluation and build are based on the +1 squad boost

His face-stats are quite good, and you could basically say he is on par with the Ballon D'or Dembélé. He even has a slight advantage in kicking power, balance, and curl. However, this card doesn't feel great to play with. The primary issue is that Dembélé's traits and player model are best suited for a Goal Poacher striker role.

As a style-less center forward, his lean player model can't pull off the back-to-goal hold-up play that you get with players like Bale, Kvaratskhelia (K77), or Semenyo. If you play him strictly on the wing, he doesn't really have an advantage compared to the likes of Best or Hazard—not to mention this card is missing the "Momentum Dribbling" skill.

Let's look at some gameplay footage—

————————————————————————

https://reddit.com/link/1ujv6fr/video/5muf024dcgah1/player

————————————————————————

You could say that this Dembélé card's skills do not fit either of the two striker (ST) roles. As shown in the gameplay, a lean player model can't truly bring out the potential of "magnetic feet." One thing is very clear to me now—giving "magnetic feet" to wide player models like Semenyo or Gullit is where it's truly most powerful.

His Blitz Curlers are just mid. Furthermore, if you play him as a winger, without "Momentum Dribbling" and "Acceleration Burst," he completely blends into the crowd of other mediocre wingers.

⚽️ Rating: Top 10 Tier 0 (T0) for Center Forward / Tier 0 (T0) for Winger

His stats look decent on paper, but with that poor playstyle and skill set, how is he sneaking into the top 10?

BT Ronaldinho: Final Rating

BT Ronaldinho's card has been out for five days now (National/CN server coming later). Starting the dual-group ratings—

https://preview.redd.it/yv7fla3mpfah1.jpg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9990d729da11d51caaff5e89847567fa2529c523

A slight upgrade compared to the previous 'Hole Player' Ronaldinho (Attacking Awareness +3, Low/Lofted Pass +3, Finishing +2). The 'Creative Playmaker' playstyle complements his 'Blitz Curler' skill perfectly.

However, if you prefer a nimble, agile, 'small-fast-slick' feel with quick changes of direction, you might find yourself uncomfortable with all of Ronaldinho's cards.

Pro Group Commentary—

Response Text
Can hold off defenders physically; the special animation/player model feels incredibly comfortable when beating opponents, and the Blitz Curler shots are absolutely invincible.
Unbeatable dribbling. This is a highly dominant CAM (Central Attacking Midfielder) card, and the transition into shooting feels incredibly smooth. It perfectly fits the "long-legged" player model meta of this current version, while the Momentum Dribbling boost helps him break through the penalty box in all sorts of ways.
The combination of Blitz Curler + Momentum Dribbling is perfect for Ronaldinho . Momentum Dribbling + a large player model greatly enhances Ronaldinho's dribbling, plus he gets a Blitz Curler animation bonus from his unique player model.

**This week features a relatively large number of new cards—

BT Ronaldinho (CAM): Rank 6

BT Ronaldinho (SS): Rank 10

Cafu (Attacking Full-Back): Rank 7

David (CF): Rank 18

Dummy Runner Kaká (SS): Rank 20

Dummy Runner Kaká (CAM): Rank 21**

June's ultimate 'Card King' is this guy!

Did you guess it? It’s ST Nmecha (who has already gone home)!

19 Magnetic Feet · Rivaldo Beckham Pack 9.55%
20 Attacking Surge Inzaghi Cruyff / Inzaghi / Alba Pack 8.82%

How bizarre! June is clearly the month of the Champions League Final and the World Cup—a massive peak traffic period for football, with so many great themes available to release cards for. Yet in the end, no major "meta" cards were actually dropped.

Among the top three players with the highest pull desire, ST Nmecha and Caicedo only scored high because their 100-player packs offer great value for money, while the runner-up, Varane, was just a boring "re-run/catch-up" pack for an old card—and in the end, the new releases couldn't even outperform the old ones.

Nmecha was indeed a pleasant surprise—an Anchorman with a massive player model and the "Long-reach Tackle" skill whose in-game feel is miles ahead. He can pretty much be called the sole highlight of this month. That said, Nmecha’s release still doesn't come close to the absolute hype and grand spectacles we saw back when Ferdinand, Encara Messi, or BT Ronaldo were introduced.

It’s a bit of a shame about "Attacking Surge" Cruyff; at least when he was first released, people didn’t really recognize his value. In reality, his final rating put him at the bottom tier of the top three Second Strikers (SS) / Attacking Midfielders (AMF). We’ll just have to wait for "Attacking Surge" to be given to an even more powerful forward.

With half of the World Cup still to go, the game devs are still holding onto '98 World Cup BT Vieira and Desailly, plus they're hiding 3 mysterious new ST skills that have yet to drop. I feel like the devs should be rolling this content out over the next two weeks—they can't possibly hoard it until the World Cup ends or until the 2027 version launches! Surely Konami isn't going to constipate their toothpaste-squeezing updates, right?

In the Eyes of Pro Players, This is the Strongest Shooting Skill!

Which shooting skills are essential? Which Showtime shooting skills are even worse than standard skills?

The pro player group judges participated in a shooting skill evaluation (on a 5-point scale), and the results are as follows:

Shooting Skill 1 Pt 2 Pts 3 Pts 4 Pts 5 Pts Avg. Score
First-time Shot 0 0 0 1 18 4.95
Bullet Header* 0 0 0 4 15 4.79
Long-range Shooting 0 0 0 6 13 4.68
Long-Range Curler 0 0 1 5 13 4.63
Phenomenal Finishing* 0 0 0 7 12 4.63
Low Screamer* 0 0 2 4 13 4.58
Blitz Curler* 0 0 1 12 6 4.26
Dipping Shot 1 0 6 2 10 4.05
Acrobatic Finishing 1 4 8 3 2 3.06
Willpower* 3 5 10 1 0 2.47
Rising Shot 7 3 8 1 0 2.16
Chip Shot Control 7 4 8 0 0 2.05
Knuckle Shot 8 5 5 1 0 1.95
Penalty Specialist 12 1 6 0 0 1.68

(Note: the Outside Curler skill has already been rated and was given a score of 4.52)

Analysis is as follows:

1️⃣ First-time Shot, Long-range Shooting, Long-range Curler: Without a doubt, these are the highest-scoring standard skills. If you don't have First-time Shot, you simply aren't fit to be a forward. Long-range Shooting provides a +10% boost to the Finishing stat, and Long-Range Curler is a parameter-modifying skill that provides an approximate +10% boost to Finishing/Kicking Power. Both are incredibly high-value skills.

Note: The Long-Range Curler skill is effective for all curling shots, not just those outside the box. However, the Long-range Shooting skill is ineffective for curling shots outside the box. Therefore, for players who rely on Blitz Curlers, the Long-range Shooting skill is not essential, but the Long-Range Curler skill is absolutely mandatory.

2️⃣ Bullet Header: The highest-scoring Showtime shooting skill. For a long time, the game engine's method of suppressing powerful headers was to add an accuracy debuff. Bullet Header reduces this debuff, making it an essential skill for an aerial pivot.

3️⃣ Phenomenal Finishing: You can't say it's essential for a center forward, but the beauty of it is that it works quietly behind the scenes. It doesn't require you to force a specific, high-risk type of shot that, if missed, ends your entire attack to trigger it. Clearly, it's also a high-value Showtime skill.

4️⃣ Low Screamer / Blitz Curler: The voting results show Low Screamer slightly ahead. Actually, in this meta where long-range shooting is strong, both of these skills are very powerful. The difference is that Blitz Curler is the kind of high-risk special attack that ends your possession if it fails mentioned above (it has specific shooting spots), whereas Low Screamer can be executed anytime you find space during a normal attack.

Some friends might think: right now, as long as you have space at the top of the box, the scoring rate for a normal shot isn't low, so why do I have to use Low Screamer? Football is a game of probabilities. The essence of Low Screamer is that it requires more open space to execute, but rewards you with a massive boost to your scoring probability. From a position just outside the top of the box, you could say Low Screamer is a guaranteed goal if it's not blocked.

5️⃣ Dipping Shot: Triggers the same way as Low Screamer, and also provides a noticeable boost to the goal-scoring rate. It can be considered a "mini Low Screamer."

6️⃣ Willpower: The worst Showtime shooting skill, and it's well-deserved. An average score of 2.47 makes it lower than Fortress, but higher than the absolute worst Showtime skill, Game-changing Pass.

Ronaldinho Is Cooking With His Special Blitz Curler

https://preview.redd.it/lxdhzep079ah1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f2fb2b4db01364e5e2ed83c5de70d82105245b2

↑ Previous testing revealed that Ronaldinho’s special finesse shot animation has two main advantages:

1️⃣ The strike point is far from his body, making it easier to curve the ball around opponents.

2️⃣ The trigger zone for the finesse shot animation is larger, allowing him to strike the ball much faster.

Today’s goal is a perfect case in point—

https://reddit.com/link/1uiyl6t/video/nbcye8wi79ah1/player

Thuram, who was tracking Ronaldinho, had already extended his leg. If Ronaldinho had taken the shot even a split second later, or if the strike point had been any closer to his body, this ball would never have made it past.

https://preview.redd.it/pkc419ar79ah1.png?width=1073&format=png&auto=webp&s=793f8e8b0a2609b7149f7ffef7192aa800e626a0

Next, I'm planning to rank the best "Blitz Curler" players.

Although the raw quality of Ronaldinho’s standard Blitz Curlers isn't as good as Zola’s, Del Piero’s, or Sneijder’s, I wonder if his unique animation can carry him into the top ten?

Who is the ultimate "Blitz Curler" player in your heart? Let me know your nominations in the comments below!

ST Trossard Review: The Budget Eden Hazard

I was originally supposed to review Dembélé, but Trossard ended up catching my attention instead!

⚽️ Trossard: 8-4-6-8-12-4-0 / Added Skills: One-touch Pass, Pinpoint Crossing

https://preview.redd.it/fspr99nb29ah1.png?width=2000&format=png&auto=webp&s=2bd78b30807e651f9d831212cb22c599115efacd

This is a highly well-rounded, quick-and-agile card. With 95 Pace/Acceleration, 93 Kicking Power, 96 Balance, and solid passing and shooting, plus a 'Very High' Weak Foot accuracy, he is quite a rare find. It's uncommon for many creative dribblers to have an Offensive Awareness stat over 90, but he manages it. That is exactly how he feels to me: well-rounded, with zero blind spots.

As a 172cm player with a small body build, a dribbling stat in the low 90s already feels as effective as a 95 on a medium build—not to mention he also has the 'Momentum Dribbling' skill. His in-game feel really reminds me of his fellow Belgian, Eden Hazard: small frame, balanced on both feet, great physical resilience when turning in circles, and a balanced, reliable touch on the ball.

Of course, Hazard's dribbling stats, passing, and shooting are still a tier above Trossard's, which is why I call him a 'budget alternative.' Furthermore, Trossard belongs to that category of players whose in-game performance and feel actually surpass what his face-card stats suggest.

Gameplay Showcase:

————————————————————————

https://reddit.com/link/1uiy8kl/video/ojqjc8a959ah1/player

————————————————————————

Compared to another 'Very High' weak foot, quick-and-agile Creative Playmaker—Sneijder—Sneijder leads with +7 in both Passing stats and +5 in Finishing & Kicking Power. On the other hand, Trossard has +4 in Offensive Awareness and +5 in Speed/Acceleration, meaning you could say Trossard is slightly more well-rounded. Both players have their own distinct advantages.

So, if Sneijder can make it into the top ten AMFs, can Trossard? Honestly, because Sneijder has the 'Blitz Curler' skill combined with high Lofted Passing, his deadly choice between a curled shot or a lofted pass is incredibly powerful in the current meta. Trossard lacks that kind of unique niche, so he still falls just a bit short.

Trossard's main strength is that he can play across the entire front line and maintain an upper-mid tier T0 level—ranking around the top 15 to top 20—no matter the position. You can essentially look at him as a premium utility super-sub for your attack.

⚽️ Rating: Trossard — Second Striker (SS): T0 | Attacking Midfielder (AMF): T0 Top 15

Where do you guys think Trossard ranks?
