eFootball 2026 Epic National Attackers (Zico, Forlán, Reus) pack review

by

Epic packs are still being released regularly in eFootball 2026, and KONAMI is now featuring special cards for famous National Attackers. These cards have been popular in the game before, proving effective against opponents. Some of these updated players also include a ‘Playstyle Change’ feature, which will noticeably alter how they play.

This update introduces changes to several key players, including Zico, Diego Forlán, and Marco Reus, each with adjusted positions, abilities, and playing styles. Marco Reus is back after a year, and Zico now features a special ‘Show Time’ skill. Let’s explore how these changes affect each player’s performance on the field.

eFootball 2026 Epic National Attackers

Zico

  • Position: AMF
  • Playing Style: Creative Playmaker
  • Show Time Skill: Momentum Dribbling and Blitz Curler

This Zico card feels like his strongest release yet, packed with excellent Show Time abilities. His dribbling, which was already impressive, has been noticeably improved. He easily stands out as one of the top Attacking Midfielders in the game.

The Blitz Curler is a powerful player who excels at bending shots into the net. This skill is especially valuable in today’s game, as Creative Playmaker midfielders can score impressive goals from distance. He also fits well into popular link-up formations, and his strong weak foot makes him a reliable finisher.

It took a few tries on my secondary account to get him, but he appears to be one of the best attacking midfielders in the game, alongside players like Messi, Sneijder, and Uli Hoeneß.

Diego Forlán

  • Position: CF
  • Playing Style: Goal Poacher
  • Show Time Skill: Phenomenal Finishing

Forlán was previously available in the Legends Assemble Epic Cards Selection earlier this year, and fans could get him for free using a Selection Contract. This new version of Forlán appears to be improved, but it’s still not worth spending a lot of in-game currency on.

The latest version of Show Time includes the Phenomenal Finishing skill, which wasn’t available in the Legends version. It also improves Kicking Power stats. While Forlán always had good kicking and finishing abilities, this new skill enhances them even further.

He’s gotten better at dribbling closely and maintaining his balance, making him feel smooth even in crowded areas. His strength isn’t amazing – it’s similar to his previous card – so adding a few points to his Physical Contact stat could be helpful. However, this isn’t a major weakness and shouldn’t discourage you from choosing him.

While he’s known for being a top goal scorer, this particular card isn’t exceptional compared to others currently in the game. If he had two special skills instead of just one, I’d definitely recommend him. For players who still need a strong striker, he’s a decent option. However, it’s probably not worth getting him since there are already so many good, and even free, strikers available right now.

Marco Reus

  • Position: LMF
  • Playing Style: Goal Poacher
  • Show Time Skill: Phenomenal Finishing and Acceleration Burst

Marco Reus has received a new skill called Phenomenal Finishing Show Time, which should improve his ability to score goals. This, combined with his Link-up Play ability, makes him a valuable player in formations like LMF and RMF.

This card is a solid addition to the Epic League and Moments Flashbacks in the game, but it doesn’t quite reach the level of top cards like Hazard or Nedved. While its Speed and Finishing stats aren’t amazing, the combination of Phenomenal Finishing and Acceleration Burst makes the new Reus card quite effective.

Overall, I believe fans of Germany and Marco Reus will enjoy this version of him in the game, as it’s likely to be the best representation of him for a while. However, it probably won’t be as strong as the top left midfielders or wingers currently available.

Verdict on the eFootball 2026 Epic National Attackers

This pack of attackers is really strong, with Zico standing out as a potentially top-tier, late-game player. Forlán and Reus are also solid additions, and all three cards offer unique benefits, making them all viable starting options depending on how you like to play.

Whether this pack is worth it really depends on what kind of players your team needs in the Attacking Midfielder (AMF) and Center Forward (CF) positions. I don’t particularly like the players included, and if you’re looking for a strong Creative Playmaker for AMF and a good Goal Poacher for CF, I’d recommend players like Zico and Forlán instead.

Pack Rating: 3.5 out of 5
