What Balance means in eFootball
Indicates how well the player can fend off tackles and keep his feet when he loses balance due to physical contact.
That is the description shown in the game. It is one of the 26 stats on every card, and it moves with training and with the card’s booster, so a Lv1 comparison mostly shows which cards start high rather than which end up best. The ranking below is measured at max level.
Across all 43,983 cards, 74 reach 95 Balance or above, and the highest is 99.
