- eFootball 2025 has released the ‘30th Anniversary Elites’ Nominating Contract pack for July 2025.
eFootball 2025 has arrived with a new set of players you can choose from, with the 30th Anniversary Elites Nominating Contract for this July 2025. Again, we are not expecting end-game picks, but surely this pack has some good picks you can use in your squads, so let me quickly review them.
eFootball 2025 ‘30th Anniversary Elites’ NC players listed
Joshua Kimmich
- Position: DMF
- Playstyle: Orchestrator
Kimmich continues to be one of the most reliable orchestrators in the game. His low and lofted passing sits comfortably in the mid-80s if you build him as a DMF, which is still impressive numbers. His tight possession and ball control are also pretty decent and can work effectively.
Preferably, keeping him at CMF would be the ideal choice given the balance he brings. Still, defensively, those numbers point to good. You can give him Anchoring instruction and have him at Anchorman. Honestly, we have seen better cards for this guy, so not close to his best.
João Palhinha
- Position: DMF
- Playstyle: Destroyer
I always get confused with such cards where you give him a DMF role, but a playstyle that suits a defender. Palhinha falls into that category. Tall, aggressive, and a ball-winning machine, Palhinha’s tackling and engagement attributes reach elite levels.
His stamina, physical contact, and jump stats are also really good numbers, allowing him to dominate midfield duels. He can also carry the ball decently with tight possession and short passing stats that hover around the high 70s. Still, a position boost and a CB role would do justice more, in my opinion.
David Raya
- Position: GK
- Playstyle: Offensive Goalkeeper
Raya is built for teams that prioritize playing out from the back. While his overall shot-stopping isn’t as high as Maignan‘s, who is available in the Match Pass, he still boasts solid numbers and a really good player ID.
Something I’ve noticed is that he’s quick off the line, so even in this card, expect the same. As for the build, go for a balanced one, getting all the stats over 90 would be my preference, although some would say reach stat increased would be pretty good since he isn’t a tall keeper.
Alexander Sørloth
- Position: CF
- Playstyle: Target Man
You might have received at least one Sørloth card by now, but if you haven’t, here’s one. A typical physical striker here, good finishing, heading, and physical contact to boast. Still, he has a good presence overall.
His strength and jumping allow him to outmuscle defenders, and he’s surprisingly quick for his size with speed and acceleration in the 80s. On the ball is a messy affair, though. You would struggle with the first touches if the ball is travelling from far, and your balance is also abysmal for a striker.
Jose Maria Gimenez
- Position: CB
- Playstyle: Destroyer
Another blockbuster CB card, and he can stay in your team for a long while. Giménez offers strong physical defending, and in the autobuild, his defensive numbers are pretty strong, where aggression seems to be his main attribute.
Tackling and aggression numbers are too push to the 100s, and he doesn’t have issues handling the aerial duels, got some great heading numbers too. That acceleration is what I find is lacking, so during through balls, he needs a faster partner to cover him up.
Frank Zambo Anguissa
- Position: CMF
- Playstyle: Box-to-Box
Anguissa is a good B2B midfielder who can do a bit of everything. His dribbling and ball control are solid, and his passing, especially low passes, is high.
He also contributes defensively with high engagement and decent awareness. His physical stats are balanced, with good stamina and balance to support his box-to-box role. You definitely can’t say he is a beast of a card, but he doesn’t have too many glaring negatives.
Whom should you opt for in the eFootball 2025 ‘30th Anniversary Elites’ July 2025 NC Pack
Here’s my ranking for the new NC pack.
| Tier | Players |
|---|---|
| SSS (Overpowered) | None |
| S (Strong) | Joshua Kimmich, Jose Maria Gimenez |
| A (Good) | Joao Palhinha, Frank Zambo Anguissa, Alexander Sørloth, David Raya |
| B (Average) | None |
| C (Below Average) | None |
The pack is pretty decent overall, but yeah, I see KONAMI has been toning down their NC packs for a long time now. This pack is also good, but top-tier cards are missing. Joshua Kimmich and Gimenez will be my two picks; the rest you can decide.
