Honestly, if Konami actually drops this France 1998 pack, it’s going to completely break everyone's coin savings. Looking at an endgame Patrick Vieira, Lilian Thuram, and Marcel Desailly is just insane.

A lot of us have been holding out for a French National Team World Cup version of Vieira specifically to get him back as a broken Anchor Man. If they give him skills like Long Reach Tackle or Phenomenal Pass on top of his usual physical stats, the midfield is going to be completely locked down.

Are you guys emptying your wallets if a pack like this actually drops during the World Cup celebration, or are you still holding onto your coins?

Do you recommend any tactics, formations, or individual instructions to get the best out of this team?

I want to know if Easy and Smart are "easier" than Advanced to execute in situations where the network connection is not that great.

I usually have 3-bar to 4-bar connections. Mostly I have 3-bar connection. My players cannot turn or evade a full length press by my opponent. I also play LBC and so finding passing options feels limited. In that scenario, dribbling past the pressing is the best way to do it. I usually do the forward dash using the joystick to trigger a sudden speed burst. But usually it still gets intercepted like crazy. At this point, I am stuck in the Division matches climb. I am not progressing beyond 1740. Back and forth.

Need help from genuine guys here who will not make fun of it. Also, preferably replies from mobile users would be better but unfortunately I cannot post in the sub dedicated for the same, hence I am here. I am not great but generic advices like "just practise" are also not helping anyway.

I would appreciate if the mods would be a little considerate and not remove the post. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

Knowing that I have the other two WC versions of Kane, is the new Kane or the English pack really worth it compared to the other two?

Thx for help

I'm new to the game... I played FC before quitting and started playing Efootball

I bought a cheap bot account with BT. Ronaldinho since I didn't want to start out with nothing

The account owner before me did some draws here

I can collect enough (900 coins) to get another x10

Should I do it or save it up and try to get a premium pack before i start out my 13.5 journey...

Since I'm a ftp I've heard that 13.5 is a must

I've 450 and will have 1000 from the referral

FIRST TEST: THE VISION ALIGNMENT

Dost thou possess a clear vision of what manner of squad thou art constructing?

This pack speaketh less to Division warfare and more to the heart — a shrine to the summer of 2014, when these three warriors lifted a trophy together. The Council doth not scorn nostalgia. But nostalgia and competitive necessity art not the same coin, and 13,500 of thy coins spend the same regardless of which one moved thee to open thy purse.

Assessment: Sentimental alignment, competitive alignment uncertain.

---

SECOND TEST: THE PROVEN ELITE STANDARD

How many among the trio art proven, battle-tested?

Philipp Lahm:

His passing standeth elite, his defending reacheth the heights, and his low stature granteth him a turning quickness few fullbacks possess. His skill compendium is near-complete —a struggle to name what he lacketh.

His signature skill, Shadow Hunt, activateth only at RB, LB, and DMF — it faileth to trigger at RMF, LMF, or CMF; this is Lahm's own kit refusing to travel with him. Cross-System Viability, therefore, is conditional, not universal.

Furthermore, his physical profile remaineth modest. Those who favor fullbacks capable of powering through a defender's shoulder may find him wanting — not a flaw in the traditional sense, but a mismatch for systems built on physical dominance rather than technical evasion.

Verdict: Proven Elite, but the positional restriction on his signature skill and the conviction gap among witnesses keep him from the Council's unqualified blessing.

Miroslav Klose:

At 184 centimeters, Klose entereth a role already occupied by warriors who best him on his own terrain: comparable pace, comparable heading ability, superior ball treatment, and greater height. Even among those built purely for aerial dominance with little else to offer, he findeth himself short of the mark.

Yet the Council must be precise, not merely harsh. His Finishing and Heading art rated excellent — not adequate, excellent.

His Bullet Header skill hath genuine application. His toolkit, while thin — average pace, average kicking power, dribbling not worth investing in — is not empty.

This is a real, if secondary, weapon: strong in a specific service, overshadowed everywhere else

Verdict: Falleth short of Proven Elite by a wide margin, and the aerial-pivot niche is already claimed by superior occupants. Yet his elite Finishing and Heading grant him genuine, if limited, competitive function. Serviceable — a crossing-system option, not a starter's guarantee.

Mario Götze:

Positioning excelleth. Passing satisfieth. Finishing approacheth 90, his Physical Contact, hovering near 80, is repeatedly named as insufficient for a meta that hath grown steadily more physical.

Compounding this, Momentum Dribbling or Magnetic Feet in place of what he received, Could have been something.

His tools are pleasant. They do not, however, solve a problem the position currently lacks solutions for.

Verdict: Competent, unremarkable. A serviceable attacking midfielder whose physical profile and skill allocation fail to distinguish him in a crowded field. Not Proven Elite.

THE HARSH TRUTH

One Border Case + Two Serviceable

Per Article II: One elite, two questionable: the path of folly — resist. Even granting Lahm the most generous reading available, this pack cannot assemble three warriors who together justify total commitment.

---

THIRD TEST: SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY

• Doth thy system run a 4-back formation with an offensive fullback slot? Lahm may serve thee
• Doth thy system rely on crossing-heavy service to a target man? Klose may find a secondary role.
• Doth thy midfield lack for technical, passing-oriented attacking mids? Götze addeth competence, not distinction.

---

CHAIRMAN VS. COUNCIL

The Chairman admireth Lahm's completeness — his passing, his defending, his near-flawless skill compendium. The Chairman would not begrudge a member for wanting him.

Yet the Council never strayeth from our way. The standard is the standard, and 13,500 coins demand more than admiration — they demand conviction.

---

VIOLATIONS OF COUNCIL PRINCIPLES

Article II, Second Test: One elite card accompanied by two Serviceable cards faileth the Threefold Test's demand for three proven warriors.

Article III, Squad Bloat: Klose and Götze, while functional, risk becoming occasional-use pieces rather than starting-eleven fixtures

WHO THIS PACK SERVETH

• If thou lackest any strong attacking fullback: Lahm alone may tempt thee, though the Council urgeth thou seek him at better value elsewhere if possible.
• If thy system favors physical, powering fullbacks over technical ones: Lahm may not suit thy taste regardless of his stats.
• If thou runnest crossing-heavy attacks and lackest a secondary aerial option: Klose serveth a narrow purpose.
• If thy midfield is already stocked with elite technicians: Götze addeth what thou dost not already possess.
• If thy primary motivation is the memory of a golden summer: The Council understandeth, but reminds thee that memory does not clear the box.

THE COUNCIL'S FINAL VERDICT

🔴 RESIST 🔴

---

THE MATHEMATICS OF WASTE

13,500 coins would secure:

1. One fullback hindered by a positionally restricted signature skill
2. One aerial specialist outclassed in his own role by superior occupants, retaining only narrow crossing utility
3. One inactive attacking midfielder whose physical profile is insufficient for the current meta

---

FINAL WISDOM

A trophy lifted together in 2014 does not guarantee three cards worth lifting together in the present meta. The Council honors the memory. The Council does not spend on it.

^THE ^13.5 ^COUNCIL

This is my official game plan and the players I have. I have my manager Ruben who is outside. I am always confused with my formation and eventually change it. I don't know for outwide and witj the players I have, what would be the best formation for me.

And in future, in order to strengthen my team, and I actually play with posession, most likely outwide is not my style, what are the player cards and manger i definitely needed. And the formation aswell. Thanks for any advice in advance.

I never expected this tho... may any other one than madueke would have been better but luckily got ss on him...black animation 1st time...it's literally insane

💀🥺

Guys I really need the council's help on whether to spin on Neymar or just wait for Vieira, like part of me is saying go ahead and the other part is saying not to do that, cuz the pack has only one elite which is Neymar or maybe somehow Marcelo, so even if I'll spin I'll only go with 100 and 2 of 900 to make sure that I still have 13K and not to lose it all and to be honest reaching this amount of coins made me think twice even if I would spin only 100, plus my current team is somehow good I can reach division 1 easily, so based on the suggestions that I will get I'll make my final decision.

I was really hyped for this Japan NT pack but I'm sort of disappointed? Ayase Ueda nerfed. Ogawa seems super bad. Really weird combinations of premium skills across the board. Perhaps Ito and Kamada do make sense. Why do they insist on giving Bullet header to short players as well as the (useless?) low screamer. Or perhaps I'm dissing low screamer and bullet header too much? Amadeusz Reddit rates them high for attackers on par with blitz curler and phenom finishing.

Sano seems interesting as a destroyer, good defensive stats, 90/90 speed and acceleration. Could be retrained into a full back, long reach tackle.

Ueda I had high hopes the most, his previous showtime is tier 2 meta due to weak foot maxed out and phenom finish. This one has weak foot nerfed and no phenom finish. He's marginally better than Usui whom I got from the monthly Jleague pack recently (who's been pretty poor).

So I'm really on the fence about pulling this even when I'm a Japanese NT/JLeague player. Convince me I'm wrong.

[supprimé]

i need an adovice about go for lahm cuz i play with 5 bck and really need good rb and lb offensive. its really and upgrade for me if i get lahm. should i go for lahm or wait for another lahm pack later? because im sure that klose and gotze will not in my main sq maybe klose will be my supersub for crossing 🤓. oh btw im ready for topup if not get lahm in 6k coins

Now here's my dilemma - I will only clear 1 box for the foreseeable future.

I'm a possession/counter kind of player so switched to this shape recently because it seems the only one that can reliably deal with the current bs that 'just hold pressure' meta. Current manager is Deschamps for the option to have a deeper line depending on game state.

Before I switched to this formation I was holding out for Vieira and a top Box to Box as I've no epic or S tier player for the role. But I have Dinho and Cafu calling out to me saying "f*** depth we improve you ever so slightly...right now!"

Do I hold, or attack?

Edit: I am capable only to clear 1 box for the foreseeable future!

I'm a regular player and 13c5 member since pes 18 days , this is my squad to motivate people to save enough coins to empty box.

You might think I've been lucky but except pepe and zlatan which i got in 3 spins , all other targets like gullit,messi,bale,nmecha I've too spend 5k-8k coins.

Últimamente he estado pensando en esto bastante, así que me gustaría escuchar tu opinión.

Ahora mismo tengo 1835 monedas, o sea que ya estoy muy cerca de mi meta de 2000. Como ya casi la alcanzo, empecé a preguntarme si debería gastar mis monedas en el equipo de Francia, el equipo de Portugal, o si mejor sigo guardándolas.

Para darte algo de contexto, mi escuadra ya está en muy buen lugar, así que no ando buscando profundidad. Lo que me interesa sobre todo son jugadores que de verdad mejoren mi once inicial.

¿Tú qué harías en mi situación? ¿Comprarías uno de esos packs, y si es así, cuál? ¿O seguirías ahorrando y esperando futuros lanzamientos?

De verdad apreciaría cualquier consejo. ¡Gracias! (Redih destroyed the quality of the image sorry)
