eFootball 2026 brings in another free Epic card, although this time it’s locked behind a region-specific rollout, with the arrival of İlhan Mansız. If you haven’t seen him appear in your inbox, the catch is simple: he’s currently only available in the Turkey region. Still, there are a few ways you can access and claim him without spending anything.
But beyond just adding another name to your squad, the bigger question is whether this 30th Anniversary Epic card actually holds up in-game. Here’s what to expect from İlhan Mansız and how you can get him for free.
eFootball 2026 Epic İlhan Mansız review
İlhan Mansız
- Position: CF
- Playing Style: Fox In The Box
- Show Time Skills: Phenomenal Finishing
İlhan Mansız being a free card actually makes me think you don’t have much to talk about, but he is interesting. For a Fox in the Box, nothing spectacular, just good movements when we come close to the box, otherwise he is a bit isolated.
Early 90s numbers for this card wherever needed, so he doesn’t fit the world-class mold, but still, he has quite the strengths. Finishing is obviously the main one, which is combined with Phenomenal Finishing, his shots feel very reliable.
Add in the strong kicking power, and that’s a big bonus, he can shoot long rangers easily. What I liked a bit more than expected was the physical side. At 184 cm with solid physical contact and jump, his headers felt fairly consistent even without heavily focusing on aerial progression, which is always nice to have.
Pace is also surprisingly decent. He’s not explosive in the same way as smaller strikers, but with good speed and acceleration, he doesn’t feel slow when making short runs or attacking loose balls in the box. Dribbling is where you can feel a slight limitation.
It’s not bad, but you can notice that tighter skill moves don’t come off as smoothly compared to more technical forwards. You can’t improve it much further either. Still, for a Fox In The Box profile, that’s not really a big concern. Overall, for a free card, this is a very usable striker.
Suggested Skills: Double Touch, Sole Control, Outside Curler, Acrobatic Finishing, Heel Trick
Suggested Booster(s): Off The Ball, Striker’s Instinct
