eFootball 2026 keeps the Epic packs rolling, and this time it’s all about pure attacking firepower with the Epic National Attackers pack. Featuring legendary names like Ferenc Puskás, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Carlos Tevez, this one is clearly for the centre-forward seekers.
But as always, the real question isn’t just the names on paper. With the current gameplay meta favoring certain playstyles and player profiles, it’s worth taking a closer look at whether this trio actually delivers in matches or if this is another pack that looks better than it plays.
eFootball 2026 Epic Lamine Yamal’s Choice Players
Ferenc Puskás
- Position: CF
- Playing Style: Deep Lying Forward
- Showtime Skill: Blitz Curler and Low Screamer
This is the second Puskás card, and you can notice there are clear improvements over the previous World Classics version. Stat-wise, it looks strong across the board, especially in finishing, awareness, and overall attacking output.
However, when you just glance at it, you find something odd again, and it is the Show Time combo. Giving Blitz Curler to a card that doesn’t really have top-tier curl is a confusing move, and they did it with Rummenigge, too. Low Screamer is decent, so no complaints there.
The biggest difference compared to his earlier Fox In The Box version is the Deep-Lying Forward playstyle. On paper, it sounds nice because he has the passing to support it, and yes, he can link play quite well for a striker.
But unlike what you see for that role, he’s not the most natural ball carrier. He can do it if you build into dribbling, but then you’re sacrificing points elsewhere, which makes the overall build a bit tricky. Still, I believe this is a solid striker offering, and one of the best finishers in the game.
Suggested Skills: Double Touch, Sole Control, Acrobatic Finishing, Fighting Spirit, Marseille Turn
Suggested Booster(s): Striker’s Instinct, Off The Ball
Suggested Progression Points Allocation for Ferenc Puskás
| Shooting | Passing | Dribbling | Dexterity | Lower Body Strength | Aerial Strength | Defending | GK 1/2/3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 0 | 8 | 12 | 11 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
Ruud van Nistelrooy
- Position: CF
- Playing Style: Fox In The Box
- Showtime Skill: Phenomenal Finishing and Bullet Header
This is easily the strongest Ruud card so far. The Show Time combo alone makes it very clear what this card is built for finishing chances in every possible way. Bullet Header + Phenomenal Finishing is a very scary combination, especially on a player with his height and physical presence.
Every card of his has been excellent on both the ground and in the air, and you can expect this card of his to have the same output, but even better and consistently. The numbers back it up as well. Offensive awareness is top tier, so his positioning inside the box will be elite.
Finishing, kicking power, and heading all come together really well here. Dribbling being in the 90s range is nice, but realistically, you can still expect him to feel a bit clunky at times, which has always been the case with taller forwards.
Where he really shines is in physicality. He can hold off defenders, win aerial duels, and work wonders inside the box. Fox In The Box might not be a popular playstyle, but all you need to do is build around him and get him to finish your chances.
Suggested Skills: Double Touch, Heel Trick, Rising Shot, Cut Behind and Turn, Sole Control
Suggested Booster(s): Striker’s Instinct, Aerial, Shooting, Off the Ball
Suggested Progression Points Allocation for Ruud van Nistelrooy
| Shooting | Passing | Dribbling | Dexterity | Lower Body Strength | Aerial Strength | Defending | GK 1/2/3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 0 | 8 | 12 | 8 | 6 | 0 | 0 |
Carlos Tevez
- Position: CF
- Playing Style: Goal Poacher
- Showtime Skill: Momentum Dribbling and Will Power
Tevez is one of those compact, physical forwards who feel very active throughout the match. The first thing you’ll notice is how quickly he gets going because of his acceleration, which is top-tier, and it really shows in his runs.
Compared to his previous 30th anniversary legend card, this is a massive upgrade. He gets a Goal Poacher card compared to his Deep Lying Forward card, so this is pretty good as it fits his numbers. Dribbling is good overall; the stats might just lurk around the early 90s, but with his frame, it isn’t a problem.
With Momentum Dribbling added, he can push past defenders easily, and I feel for strikers of his build, this is a really wonderful skill. Physically, he’s quite strong for his size. You can notice he doesn’t get pushed off the ball easily, as well.
There isn’t really a single standout stat that feels completely broken, but everything comes together nicely. The only slight inconsistency you might notice is in the air, but he isn’t the card that you will send in crosses to.
Suggested Skills: Acrobatic Finishing, Sole Control, One Touch Pass, Marseille Turn, Flip Flap
Suggested Booster(s): Striker’s Instinct
Suggested Progression Points Allocation for Carlos Tevez
| Shooting | Passing | Dribbling | Dexterity | Lower Body Strength | Aerial Strength | Defending | GK 1/2/3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 0 | 7 | 12 | 10 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
Best pick from the Epic National Attackers pack in eFootball 2026
There’s no denying that all three Epic picks from this pack are very solid, but I feel there’s a little gap that makes them a step below being the SSS tier. Still, a pack you can spin your coins, but it feels there can be an even better application of Show Time skills and stats.
Here’s my final cards tier list and pack rating.
| Tier | Players |
|---|---|
| SSS (Endgame) | None |
| SS (Excellent) | Ferenc Puskás, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Carlos Tevez |
| S (Strong) | None |
| A (Good) | None |
| B (Average) | None |
| C (Below Average) | None |
Pack Rating: 3.5 out of 5
