eFootball 2026 Italian League Guardians (Nesta, Bergomi, Dida) pack review

by

In the game eFootball (year not specified), another new package has been delivered, and this time it’s all about the Italian League Guardians. The star attractions of this pack are three defensive legends: Alessandro Nesta, Giuseppe Bergomi, and goalkeeper Dida.

In theory, this collection seems to be heavily focused on defense, offering a sturdy foundation with renowned figures who honed their skills in thwarting tough opponents. However, does the defensive trio within this pack justify its acquisition? Let’s explore how effectively these protectors might blend into your squad.

eFootball 2026 Epic Italian League Guardians Players

Alessandro Nesta

  • Position: CB
  • Playing Style: Destroyer
  • Show Time Skill: Aerial Fort and Long-Reach Tackle

It’s fantastic news that our prayers have been heard! We’ve managed to combine the top-notch Show Time skills onto a single player, and it doesn’t get any better than that. To top it off, we’re enhancing our standout center-back, Nesta, to an even higher level with this update!

Nesta managed to snag him after approximately 20 spins, and it turns out he’s a formidable opponent. As I had anticipated, this individual seemed invulnerable, and if there were any vulnerabilities, this card might have exposed them. His defensive skills are exceptional, particularly in tackling and positioning, and even after toning down his abilities, the card remains unyielding against him.

What truly amplifies his intimidation is his exceptional aerial prowess, demonstrated through his impressive jumping and heading skills. His heading rating stands at 78, yet it appears more like it’s in the 90s. This is all thanks to his formidable ‘Aerial Fort’. Even without constant attention, he swiftly thwarts attacking opponents and seldom finds himself out of position.

The major advantage lies in his combination of Aerial Fort and Long-Reach Tackle, which offers protection both on the ground and in the air. This seems like a significant improvement compared to someone like Cannavaro, who only has Fortress. In my view, he is currently the best defender out there, and it might take some time for anyone to dethrone him from that position. Can Maldini manage to do so?

In this version, I tried to make the sentences more flow naturally while maintaining their original meaning and tone. I also replaced “big plus” with “major advantage”, as it sounds a bit more formal and academic than “big plus”. Similarly, I used “protection” instead of “covers” for the same reason, and changed “feels like” to “seems like” for clarity. Additionally, I replaced “needs some time” with “might take some time”, as it sounds more polite and formal than “needs”. Finally, I used “dethrone him from that position” instead of “take the title off him”, as it sounds more natural in this context.

Giuseppe Bergomi

  • Position: RB
  • Playing Style: Defensive Full-back
  • Show Time Skill: Fortress and Long-Reach Tackle

If you aspire to team up with CBs who outrun nearly all other forwards, then Bergomi should certainly be on your radar. I’ve witnessed players successfully bolster their defense with him in the center, and his ability to constantly be around makes him quite a challenge to overcome.

This player is quick, assertive, and enjoys engaging in one-on-one situations, which makes him a difficult challenge for wingers aiming to dribble past. Moreover, he demonstrates strength in physical confrontations, so he won’t be easily intimidated by larger attackers. From various positions on the field, he is capable of initiating attacks and boasts excellent build-up center back statistics, indicative of his natural ability to contribute positively to the team’s offensive efforts.

What sets him apart is his versatility. He’s capable of adapting when necessary, making good passes, and still managing to defend effectively. His endurance ensures he’s dependable for the entire game, which is an essential trait for a full-back.

Thuram and Maldini are both contenders for excellent performances in two positions – central defender (CB) and right back (RB). Some fans prefer using Thuram as a full-back due to his exceptional speed numbers, but he might also excel at CB. On the other hand, many consider Maldini the best choice for the RB position, yet he could be equally effective at CB. Comparing their performances when they receive new cards should be intriguing.

Dida

  • Position: RB
  • Playing Style: Offensive Goalkeeper
  • Show Time Skill: GK Directing Defense

It seemed as though KONAMI had overlooked the “Show Time skill” named “GK Directing Defense,” but lo and behold, a top-notch Dida card emerged, boasting this skill. I’m not entirely certain if it impacts your defense, however, having this added protection can only be beneficial.

Looking at this card, it’s evident that Dida embodies the dominant figure you seek in goalkeeping. Standing tall, authoritative, and swiftly responsive with his reflexes, he has consistently played well in the game. This is arguably his finest representation yet.

It’s worth mentioning that he may not be the quickest goalkeeper when dashing out of his area, so you might not always prefer him playing behind the defense in a sweeper role. However, when it comes to stopping shots, there’s no disputing that he excels. His extensive coverage is primarily due to his tall stature and long reach.

Verdict on the eFootball 2026 Epic Italian League Guardians players

In this scenario, I’d typically advocate for choosing a pack of defenders because they are not frequently available. By opting for this pack, you can acquire elite defenders, and there’s even a card for Nesta that boasts a perfect score of 10/10 in stats and exceptional “Show Time” skills, earning it a impressive 5-Star rating.

Apart from them, Bergomi stands as a strong contender for the best out-of-position center back, and Dida ranks among the top three offensive goalkeepers. In summary, this lineup suggests a good chance of success, so I recommend giving it a shot.

Pack Rating: 5 out of 5
