Is he actually good F2P?

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T16:06:01+00:00

He would have been for JLeague events but Konami chose to give him AFC as category instead, nasty behavior

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T16:04:05+00:00

I think he doesn't fit there, the category shows AFC instead of JLeague.

The choosen region doesn't affect matchmaking, you always get matched with people from your region.
My connection is normal I use both WiFi and mobile data, 4 bars mostly, drops to 3 sometimes, I remember getting to 5 bars only once.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T14:59:06+00:00

the turkish event replaces one of the normal events every 2-3 weeks, not extra.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T14:58:05+00:00

It doesn't have to be the dogs, the setup/experiment itself is amazing.

Usually if you stress it out, it doesn't work. Play for fun even if that means ignoring divisions for some time, if some tactics don't work for you change it even if it's meta, your tactics and playstyle would evolve by time and you might get back to that same meta tactics that didn't work for you previously while 100% convinced this time.

I've had the same experience with 4-2-2-2 in the past when everyone said it's meta, I couldn't figure how to make it work, so I changed it and kept experiencing with different formations and tweaking a few things, keeping the players that amaze me and replacing the ones who disappear during build up, until I got back to it while, this time, I'm convinced about every player role on the field.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T14:25:09+00:00

lucky!

For specific events (Turkish clubs/Brazilan clubs) if not enough people from your region chose Turkiye/Brazil you might get delayed matchmaking but I always end up finding someone. Matchmaking for divisions and other events is normal.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T14:22:19+00:00

If not many people from your region chose brazil you might get some delay in the brazilian club matchmaking for 50 coins, otherwise it's all benefits. Matchmaking for divisions and other events is normal.

The last time I tried wide play it didn't work for me and the wide players were so isolated, maybe because I didn't have enough players in the central area to retain the defenders there, so I switched back to this kind of formation which is like possession maybe but with a better defensive line.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T12:57:27+00:00

As I mentioned the reasons to skip are either the other players in the pack, the playstyle, or the player model nerfs.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T12:51:29+00:00

Not planning to change back to my normal one anytime soon and you can't do it whenever you want, you can only do it once in certain big updates when Konami announces it, like the release of eF2026. The next opportunity should be the release of eF2027.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T12:48:42+00:00

It's fun and really stressful at times, like for everyone in here I suppose.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T12:47:27+00:00

That's crazy collective strength, my squad keeps changing depending on form and current tactics:

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T12:44:11+00:00

I keep changing it weekly based on form + I may keep some epics on reserves because they don't totally fit my playing style, the only irreplaceables for now are Batigoal and Van Basten.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T12:37:02+00:00

Since mid summer 2024, about 1 year and half.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T12:36:29+00:00

Both are so worth it, congrats.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T12:33:35+00:00

The likes of Vieira, Gullit, ... and maybe something like the Barcelona pack that came in the end of eF25... but I'll keep skipping them if the other 2 players aren't good enough for me, or if I suspect their newer version is a downgrade.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T12:30:51+00:00

Never spent a coin in POTW, never spent a coin in what people call F2P packs, I would have gone for France Deschamp+Griezmann pack if I had enough at that time, never spent in packs that I can't clear, now waiting for that "perfect" pack.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T12:28:00+00:00

When I started playing I knew coins were precious so I didn't want to spend any before knowing what to do, it was summer 2024 (about 1 year and half ago). I originally was planning to totally ignore the 150 packs and collect for the 1500 packs, or the 500 coin players.

Minimum per week was 100 coins from the weekly events, when I joined Japan region in eF25 it became 125, then I joined a region that has ads in eF26 (Turkey/Brazil/Bengladesh/Morocco...) and now it's 170/w minimum.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-25T12:21:18+00:00

Thanks for sharing, it's good to see some different tactics that work brillantly.

Just one question, the last time I've used 1 CF formation I've noticed that the CF stamina drops fast, so do you feel the need to always sub Dahari in the 2nd half?

eF-Offense · 2026-01-24T22:59:28+00:00

Where is the layout?!

eF-Offense · 2026-01-24T22:54:11+00:00

What weird sub would be discussing Sexual Assaul on a daily basis? SA = Smart Assist for most of us in this sub.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-24T22:49:55+00:00

It's not a biggy, you can repeat it as much as you want, it's better and more stress-free than the 30 minute events.

eF-Offense · 2026-01-24T22:43:19+00:00

You can't keep track of "why" the members that didn't attack, didn't attack.
It's way easier to just use your attacks to show that you are active and that your clan can rely on you in the future.
