eFootball 2026 “Newly Licensed Italian Clubs” October 2025 Nominating Contract Review

This contract pack for eFootball 2026 highlights the recently licensed Italian clubs added to the game. It’s a worthwhile option for using your in-game contracts. Here’s a look at the players included, my overall opinion, and my top picks, ranked from best to worst.

eFootball 2026 ‘Newly Licensed Italian Clubs’ October 2025 NC players listed

Nicolò Zaniolo

  • Position: AMF
  • Playing Style: Creative Playmaker

Zaniolo is a dynamic, modern attacking midfielder – a player who combines skillful dribbling with impressive physical power. I’ve always been a fan, and this card really showcases his ability to confidently advance the ball upfield. His close control and ability to hold onto possession are particularly noteworthy.

He makes solid short passes, which is a real strength. His longer passes could use a little more power, but he shoots well and, while not super quick, makes up for it with excellent dribbling and balance. Overall, a strong player card.

Zion Suzuki

  • Position: GK
  • Playing Style: Offensive Goalkeeper

Suzuki is a goalkeeper who relies on fast reflexes and a proactive style. He frequently rushes off his line to challenge opponents, making him an offensively-minded player. His physical stats are solid. When building a team around him, I’d recommend a formation like 4-10-11-9, as his auto-build isn’t optimal.

Nico Paz

  • Position: AMF
  • Playing Style: Hole Player

Paz is a solid player, though he doesn’t excel in any particular area. If he had more versatility, he’d be a valuable backup in several positions. I’ve found his dribbling to be very good, and his ‘Hole Player’ style allows him to move freely and make smart, unexpected runs that can really trouble opponents.

He delivers passes with precision, particularly in fast-paced exchanges. While he’s not a powerfully built player, and could be challenged by stronger opponents, his excellent balance and agility help him compensate. What really stands out is his skill – he maximizes the effectiveness of offensive plays.

Sergi Roberto

  • Position: RB
  • Playing Style: Offensive Wingback

He’s still a dependable player who can contribute on both defense and attack. While not incredibly fast, he has solid overall skills. His biggest strength is his versatility – he can be trained to play in several positions, and central midfield would be a particularly good fit.

Kristjan Asllani

  • Position: DMF
  • Playing Style: Orchestrator

Asllani is a natural fit for a calm, defensive midfield role. He excels at both short and long passing, and while he isn’t physically imposing, his excellent awareness and control allow him to stay composed even when pressured. He’s the kind of player who directs the game with precise, simple passes instead of relying on aggressive tackles.

Christian Ordóñez

  • Position: DMF
  • Playing Style: Destroyer

This player really embodies a physical presence among his teammates. He consistently makes strong defensive plays and tackles effectively, demonstrating his ability to win possession and quickly shut down the opposing team’s attacks.

He doesn’t really challenge opponents in the air, which is a significant weakness. While his speed suggests he could have been a good cornerback, he shows more promise as a fullback – he seems like a natural fit for that position.

Adam Masina

  • Position: CB
  • Playing Style: Build Up

Masina is a capable cornerback with good tackling and physical strength, making him a viable starter. However, he lacks pace and isn’t great in the air. Using a ‘Build Up’ playstyle helps keep him well-positioned, so pairing him with a faster center-back would be ideal.

Antoine Bernède

  • Position: CMF
  • Playing Style: Box To Box

Bernede appears to be a well-rounded midfielder. He doesn’t particularly excel in any one area, but he’s consistently solid – a good passer with strong stamina and the ability to contribute on both offense and defense. He shows promising dribbling and passing skills in automated game situations, with his other stats being fairly typical.
