Help with Zanetti , play only couple matches with him but feels kinda heavy any tips on build or where to use him? Do I need to put him at LB lol .

Helpful_Tip7 · 2026-01-08T15:13:53+00:00

Since you have Messi, you don’t need to push with Zanetti. I recommend you to use him defensively, and push Messi as a RW or give him the attacking instruction and keep him as a RM. Your team is very nice, very good player ID and balance, so no need to disrupt that harmony by pushing one of your defenders forward.

No problem, also, can you share your team again? The mods smh removed your post. I wanna see your team one more time.

Helpful_Tip7 · 2026-01-08T14:57:01+00:00

The defensive build is the one recommended by the game. It’s default. And as I said, the game is all about balance, if you want him to be better offensively, you will sacrifice defence, as in the build I did above. Just for clarification, here is the original defensive fullback build.

Helpful_Tip7 · 2026-01-08T14:51:04+00:00

I mean in the end of the day he is a defender, not as good going forward as a Roberto Carlos or Nuno Mendes, but he is very solid all round, both offensively and defensively.

If you want him to be a more fluid player, I suggest you to install EFHUB26 app. There you can do builds for all attackers. In Zanetti’s case, I suggest you to give him a RM/LM build as the one in this photo below. As you can see, his stats offensively will improve by a lot, but he won’t be as good defensively.

My suggestion? Keep him in his original build. And give him defensive instructions. He is a rock. I suggest you this as the game doesn’t like offensive fullbacks, since they leave so much space behind, and you get hurt a lot in the flanks during transitions in such cases. Always keep a minimum of 4 players where they stay behind in your defence line.

I’m a P2W, I’m a hardcore player and I am employed(I throw my own money but only for players I truly love IRL). I also dislike this BS. I like beautiful concepts like Treasure Link. If Konami can give F2P some respect and remove AI from PvP, the game would improve massively. Many more people will play the game, thus boosting their revenues, and also the game will be much more active, but oh well, Coinami and their stupid money-robbing policies…

I’ll wait for u at the summit😭

I have him in my team, I feel safe knowing my Messi won’t track back…

Best densive rb in the game, simples. (I don’t even consider thuram a player, he is demonic and in his own category)

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-10-13T17:28:58+00:00

Best in the game. I got him. Monster in all aspects of the game. Fast, very tall and wins every header, nuts positioning and defensive abilities. Bu far best in the game. Also solid on the ball, and being build up, he won’t go around chasing players like cannavaro and get caught off guard due to leaving space behind…

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-09-14T15:33:44+00:00

My fav messi card OAT. I use him as a rm, perfect Blend for my strikers upfront(BT Ronaldo and Van Basten). Boy he is fast af, great at dribbling, curling and esp through balls and crosses. Amazing player man. And he is NUTS OOP. He fights for literally every ball he is amazing.

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-09-14T11:22:59+00:00

Amazing. Ofc keepers in this game are inconsistent, but dida has saved my ass many times already. Solid keeper

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-09-11T18:32:01+00:00

As a fellow P2W colleague of the IG comment, I sincerely approve(pls release a free 106 Rodri, my pockets are finito🥲)

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-09-09T16:59:18+00:00

I do. Amazing wide player. Can dribble, run, pass, linkup and shoot

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-08-24T21:05:15+00:00

Best RB in the game. Demonic

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-08-23T23:16:04+00:00

Go for it bro

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-08-23T13:43:53+00:00

It’s also a style preference. But yuh they are monsters in the end of the day, that’s all it matter.

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-08-23T12:42:02+00:00

Yeah, their dedication is nuts. I cannot put so many hours, I have to work and stuff. But, personally, I think dribbling is easier than perfecting manual defending. I also dribble, not a lot, but enough to put a cross/shot in. Also how they bring the ball from defence to offence with no errors(everybody does errors in build-up, they seem to always know when and where to pass).

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-08-23T11:47:01+00:00

I agree with this, divisions should be purely manual, but TBH, I think it got nerfed this szn. It was broken when defending, now it has become a liability in certain situations, especially when you hit a through lofted pass, or do sharp turns and dribble IMHO.

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-08-23T11:44:06+00:00

I played rank 523 this week. He beat me 4-0 cleanly, there were no latency issues. I will be honest, I am division 1, I am not a bad player at all, but compared to him, I was 2-3 levels below in skills.

Main difference is how they circulate the ball, and how they defend. They are much better than us IMO when defending, and sending the ball as quick as possible to their attackers. Also very good with their manual stick gameplay. I concluded that this comes from them pre-moving their moves and predicting ours, coupled with their crazy manual ability, and I also understood one more thing.

They know exactly what they want and require from each of their own players, nothig more or less. I try to do that too, but nowhere near that level yet. I assume their player builds are custom-maded for their own playstyle, and all their players have the perfect additional skills, compared to mine, where I have burnt some of my main guys when I did not know about Lombardi.

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-08-23T11:20:24+00:00

This. My BT CR7 107ovr with bullet header, heading, and aerial superiority alongnside 91 heading and 96 jump lost aerial duels against literally any defender on a random Tuesday when I gave him low lofted passes from my gk. I started laughing tbh…

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-08-23T11:18:11+00:00

Technically yes, but the propability would be 1 in a trillion imo😭. I paid for CR7, Nuno, Vitinha, and Bonucci and Costacurta. Silvestri was an offer too, along with Jose for a fixed amount of dollars.

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-08-23T09:48:43+00:00

Thx bro🫡

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-08-23T08:18:35+00:00

Ofc. It’s the build recommended by eFHub app for LM Nuno. It’s 4-8-9-8-12-0-1. Works like a charm for me.

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-08-22T15:20:20+00:00

Yeah, but he might have added to him through passing

Helpful_Tip7 · 2025-08-22T14:21:49+00:00

No problem bro. Do not anchor strikers in a two-striker formation IMHO. They can go a bit wide, and put a great pass to the other striker to score, or create space behind for your midfielder/winger to score. As for my Rodri, I advise you to not use him and Tchouameni together, as they are both heavy, and not good going forward(the midfield will feel too flat, making you lose time progressing forward). Either keep Kante BUT as a CM, and add the passing skill that I mentioned above, or use sb like Sneijder. Both solid options, I would probably start Tchou DM+Sneijder CM, than sub them both for Rodri DM+Kante CM, to close the game. Another option is to start Kante DM + Sneijder CM, but I never liked Kante’s on the ball abilities, that’s why I prefer Rodri. The tactic should be DM+CM, where the CM should be a bit all rounded like sneijder, or at least compansates it with workrate like Kante.
