How to Play eFootball as a Beginner: Common Questions and FAQs

"Free-to-play players" can utilize scouts to find cost-effective players: look for players with multiple starting skills, such as "Heel Flick," "Fake Shot," "Touch Pass," and "Shadow Striker." They may have a low overall rating but excel in certain stats, for example, a player with an overall rating of 59 might have over 80 in speed and acceleration. After building a satisfactory squad, players should focus on completing event tasks to obtain key items like player upgrades. Additionally, completing two leagues (ranked matches) can yield core currency rewards, which is the most stable method for "free-to-play players" to achieve a ten-pull.

As for "pay-to-win players," just remember one thing: when you draw a player, if the player’s label (gold, silver, bronze, black) all turns black like a bug, it’s the best time to sing "Good Luck is Coming." At that moment, the player will definitely be top-tier.

How is the Gameplay for eFootball? Do Console Veterans Have an Advantage?

The only advantage is that traditional controls have not changed much; however, players still need to reacquaint themselves with the gameplay since the mobile version has simplified many aspects compared to consoles. My first impression of eFootball Mobile is that it has a low entry threshold and a high ceiling. The controls are mainly directional keys combined with shooting, passing, through balls, and sprinting. To execute visually appealing attacks, players need to understand the hidden functions of different buttons. For example, pulling the shooting button up performs a chip shot, while pulling it down creates a finesse shot.

What are the Key Skills to Master?

I’ve written a lot about this topic, but for beginners, it's more important to grasp the basics. For instance, pulling the shooting button up or down yields different effects; the same goes for passing and through balls. Here, "One-Two" plays a crucial role as a combo move. The execution is as follows: after the ball holder passes, immediately pull the direction (in the attacking direction), and the receiving player will dash towards the attacking direction. The receiving player should find the optimal moment to choose a through ball. I’ve also detailed other usages of "One-Two," such as "Lobbed One-Two," "Tactical Deception," and "N-Pass," which all demonstrate that "One-Two" is not exclusive to the penalty area.

How to Perform Skill Moves?

Double-tapping the directional key while shooting executes a fake shot. If you fake shot while moving, you will suddenly stop and face the player (regardless of your prior direction). If you're nearly stationary when you fake shot, you'll kick the ball from that position, making it easy to deceive opponents and add a taunting effect. Different directional inputs, like double-tapping upward while shooting, will result in a directional fake shot. Some advanced players with built-in skill moves can perform moves like the Marseille Turn and McGeady Spin (considering their preferred foot). To perform these, pull the direction twice towards the left front or right front while centered on the player. This skill move is currently one of the most practical in eFootball, with less stringent conditions for use.

What Are Some Small Details to Pay Attention To?

1、Changing formations requires a change of coach. In eFootball Mobile, this is essential; each coach comes with a specific formation. It’s uncertain whether dual-formation coaches will appear in the future.

2、The auction system allows players to buy and sell scouts; don’t underestimate this system. Some players have even synthesized Cristiano Ronaldo through it, so rare 5-star scouts are worth keeping an eye on.

3、Many players have reported that the directional keys are uncomfortable; this can be resolved in settings by changing the directional keys to movement controls in the "General Match Settings."
