Few Disclaimers:

-I am not a cross spammer. I feel it's imp to mention as people seem to have WW2 flashbacks whenever they see tall CFs. It's just one of the options I keep open along with everything else.

-This tier list is based on my preferences so it may not be to your liking. I hope you don’t take offense.

-Since this is based on preference, the tier position can change subject to new perspectives.

Reasoning for different tiers:

S+:

-close to meta P2W

-No weakness for their position as such or 

-even if there are weaknesses its massively dwarfed by their strengths

S:
-Great but slightly held back by some flaw

A:
-Good and quite usable

B:
-Major flaws but has good strengths

C:
-Use for fun

D:
-Almost unusable

E: (I haven’t added any from here as its basically redundant)
-Unusable

These are some early(VERY EARLY) predictions for what the next showtime pack could look like following the recent round of 16 matches. This features players who have had standout performances thus far:

-Ounahi-
Hole Player

2 Goals in a crucial round of 16 match against Canada, with excellent finishing from outside, and inside the box. He receives the Showtime Skill "Phenomenal Finishing" as a result of his fantastic performance.

-Bellingham-
Hole Player

Match isn't over as of this post(😅), however so far he has delivered one of the best individual performances of the entire tournament in this match. He has displayed excellent dribbling throughout the match, retaining the ball in crucial moments, and has shown hunger to finish off chances scoring a header and a tap in. He receives the Showtime Skills "Bullet Header" and "Magnetic Feet" as a result of his performance so far.

-Haaland-
Poacher

Haaland scored the 2 goals to secure the biggest result in Norwegian football history against Brazil, the most successful country in World Cup history. He scored in two very different ways, with a low driven long range banger, and a powerful header as he dunked on Gabriel(sorry Arsenal fans). There is almost no player as deserving of these skills, and if you watched the match, you would sure agree. He receives the Showtime Skills "Bullet Header" and "Low Screamer" as a result of his superb performance.

Let me know which cards YOU would want from this pack, and if there are any other players you think deserve to be here, let me know in the comments!🫡

Show me a better DMF than the mighty Vieira.

I've used Anchor man, Orchestrators and other Destroyers before, but this Arsenal Destroyer Patrick Vieira is on another level.

The first thing you notice is his presence. It genuinely feels like he's covering every inch of grass. You don't even have to manually drag him around the pitch all the time, his positioning and defensive AI are ridiculous. Loose ball? Vieira is there. Counterattack? Vieira is already cutting the passing lane. Second ball? Somehow, he's the first to it.

The best part is how versatile he is.

As a DMF:
He's an absolute wall. Once he's in front of an attacker, it's basically game over. His combination of defensive engagement, tackling, physical contact, and insane leg coverage means very few players get past him cleanly. Through balls that would normally split your midfield just get intercepted by those long Vieira legs.

As a CMF:
This is where he surprised me the most. Even though he's a Destroyer, he almost plays like a Box-to-Box midfielder. He wins the ball, carries it forward, supports attacks, then somehow makes it back to stop the counter. His work rate is unbelievable.

Then there's the aerial game.

Vieira dominates in the air against almost everyone. Corners, goal kicks, long clearances—it doesn't matter. If the ball goes up, there's a good chance Vieira is winning it. That alone kills so many opponent build-ups before they even start.

His physicality is another cheat code. Shoulder-to-shoulder duels feel unfair. Even against strong forwards, he simply bullies people off the ball. Combined with his long stride and reach, he's constantly stealing possession without even looking like he's trying.

The only real weakness is that he's not the most creative passer compared to orchestrators, but honestly, that's not why you're using him. Win the ball, play a simple pass, and let your attackers cook.

I wish I had enough skill points to give him Acrobatic clearance, weighted pass and gamesmanship. Regardless of that, he still dominates.

My verdict: 10/10.

Once you've played enough matches with him, it's hard to imagine your midfield without him.

Ronaldinho cards have always been good in PES, they are always so versatile. One thing that I've hated about previous Ronaldinho cards though Is they have felt a little heavy, probably the player ID. This card though, wow. Very nimble and strong, can pass, can shoot, can run. I also like that Ronaldinho has many animations that are only special to his player ID. He feels like Ronaldinho in every way, the special blitz animation, the box fake shot, the chest stall, the ball skip animation....probably my favorite player to use after hazard

2 months ago I quit EAFC and gave this game a shot now im here made it to div 1. I have 110 hours in game I really enjoy playing this game and possession based football , there’s things that bothers me like low block counter haram ball and blitz curler I think is way to OP . I love that you can play the game the way you want it to work with tactics and players . If u have any tips for improvement im all ears.
Have a blessed day !
Edit: I don’t use quick counter as much the second picture is from when I was just experimenting with quick counter tactics.

Norway just beat Brazil and are now in the QF.

I didn't get the Norway pack last year. Who here did?

Oops

Finally completed my Croatia squad

I don't even know what to say man 😭 this fella hide his keeper and tried to block in a close range xD

I(s) this using mind games❓ or just plain tripping 🤧

For context: National Teams event match, I was using portugal team pack and opponent with a stacked France squad.

How much longer does low skill and low effort get rewarded with rubbish like this?

This was a Division 1 player, ranked 308. I kept him quiet for most of the game and still out xG'd him. In my eyes, I should at least be able to hang with the big boys.

I play full manual. My players take the worst fucking touches known to man for absolutely no reason, and half the time I'm fighting my own team. I reposition properly, hold my ground so he should just body into me, but instead the game does this.

I'd say 90% of my games are like this. I can have 18 shots, 10 on target, most of the possession, and still lose 3-0 while the other guy has one shot on target. I'm busting my ass trying to get around not one but two physical twats while my own players seem determined to work against me.

Then you've got people deliberately getting red cards or putting players out of position before kick-off because they believe it triggers some hidden boost. Whether that's true or not, the fact people even feel the need to try things like that says a lot about the trust players have in the game.

For the first time, I just quit. 64 minutes in, that goal went in and I gave him the win.

Before anyone says, "It's not that serious," I know. It's a game. That's not what annoys me. I'm just tired of feeling manipulated every time I play a sports game.

In over 250 hours, I think I've genuinely come across maybe one player where I finished thinking, "Fair enough, he absolutely tore me a new one." Most of the time it doesn't feel like I got beaten by a better player. It feels like I got beaten by the game.

I'll keep saying it: this game needs to go full manual if it's ever going to feel fair. At least then everyone is dealing with the same inputs. I'm not getting freebies because the AI decides to slow my player down or thread the perfect assisted pass just out of my reach. If I lose on full manual, I'll hold my hands up. At least I'll know it was the other player that beat me.

I want to love my sport but god damn these companies sure be putting there grubby fingers in every situation.

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.

Dropped from rank 154,000 to rank 350,000 because I got disconnected six games in a row while playing Div 3. Websites are loading slower than usual, so I get if comments will roast me for still trying to play despite having bad connection, but everything else is working (YouTube, World Cup match streams, Instagram, etc.) except eFootball. Do I simply wait for our ISP to resolve problems on their end or is there something I can try on eFootball itself?

My defender which is nesta 91 spd and 91 acc has clearly out paced diouff, but somehow nesta gets pulled away from the ball so that diouff can score. No I didn’t remove my hand from the dash button and the goal was the match winner
