Story Highlights

I’m thrilled to announce the arrival of eFootball 2025, packed with a fresh lineup of players to select from! The 30th Anniversary Elites Nominating Contract is also here for July 2025. While we may not be discussing end-game picks, this pack certainly offers some fantastic choices that could strengthen your squads. Let’s take a quick look at what it has in store!

eFootball 2025 ‘30th Anniversary Elites’ NC players listed

Joshua Kimmich

  • Position: DMF
  • Playstyle: Orchestrator

Kimmich consistently stands out as one of the most dependable playmakers on the field. If you set him up as a Defensive Midfielder (DMF), his short and long passes typically score in the mid-80s, which is still an impressive statistic. Moreover, his ability to maintain possession and control the ball effectively is commendable.

It’s best to keep him at CMF due to the balance he provides. However, his defensive statistics are quite impressive, making him a strong candidate for Anchorman duties. To be honest, there have been better cards for this player, so he’s not performing at his absolute best.

Joao Palhinha

  • Position: DMF
  • Playstyle: Destroyer

In simpler terms, Palhinha often leaves me puzzled as he possesses characteristics typically seen in defensive midfielders (DMF), yet his playstyle is more fitting for defenders. Standing tall and displaying aggression, Palhinja excels in winning the ball, with his tackling and engagement skills reaching top-tier standards.

His endurance, physical interactions, and vertical leaps are impressive figures, giving him an edge in midfield battles. He handles the ball fairly well, with his close control and short passing ratings typically in the upper 70s. However, I believe a position adjustment and a central defender role would suit him better according to my perspective.

David Raya

  • Position: GK
  • Playstyle: Offensive Goalkeeper

Raya excels when it comes to teams that focus on passing from defense. Although his overall saves aren’t as numerous as Maignan’s (who can be obtained via Match Pass), Raya still showcases impressive statistics and is a highly competent goalkeeper.

It appears that he’s swift and agile from the get-go, so you can anticipate similar speed in this card as well. Regarding the construction, I’d suggest aiming for a well-rounded build with all stats surpassing 90, though some might argue that boosting his reach stat could be beneficial given he isn’t particularly tall as a goalkeeper.

Alexander Sørloth

  • Position: CF
  • Playstyle: Target Man

It’s possible that you’ve already gotten a Sørloth card, but just in case you haven’t, I’m providing one for you. This player is a classic striker with strong skills in finishing, heading, and physical play. He maintains an impressive overall presence on the field.

His physical power and agility enable him to overpower defenders, and it’s surprising how fast he moves considering his size; his speed and acceleration clock in at around 80 mph. However, handling the ball isn’t his strong suit. If the ball is coming from afar, controlling it would be a challenge, and for a striker, his balance could use some improvement.

Jose Maria Gimenez

  • Position: CB
  • Playstyle: Destroyer

This exceptional CB card is likely to be a lasting addition to your team. Giménez excels in robust physical defense, and his defensive statistics in the autobuild are notably impressive, with aggression being his prominent trait.

Addressing his stats, it’s clear that his tackling and aggression, as well as his aerial duels, are impressive, with excellent figures in the hundreds. However, when it comes to acceleration, there seems to be room for improvement. This becomes evident during through balls, where he could greatly benefit from a quicker teammate who can provide cover. His heading stats are also noteworthy.

Frank Zambo Anguissa

  • Position: CMF
  • Playstyle: Box-to-Box

Anguissa demonstrates exceptional skills as a B2B midfielder, excelling in various aspects of the game. His dribbling technique and ball handling are strong, while his passing ability, particularly with low passes, stands out significantly.

Apart from offensively, he actively participates in defense with great involvement and reasonable perception. His physical attributes are well-balanced, offering good endurance and equilibrium to complement his box-to-box position. While he’s not exactly a top-tier player, he doesn’t have many significant flaws.

Whom should you opt for in the eFootball 2025 ‘30th Anniversary Elites’ July 2025 NC Pack

Here’s my ranking for the new NC pack.

TierPlayers
SSS (Overpowered)None
S (Strong)Joshua Kimmich, Jose Maria Gimenez
A (Good)Joao Palhinha, Frank Zambo Anguissa, Alexander Sørloth, David Raya
B (Average)None
C (Below Average)None

Overall, the bundle is quite satisfactory, although it seems that KONAMI has been gradually reducing the quality of their NC (Non-Consumer) packs for some time now. This one isn’t exceptional, but it does have its merits. I would recommend Joshua Kimmich and Gimenez as my top picks; you can choose the rest.
