What player stats are in eFootball
Every card in eFootball carries the same 26 stats, each on a scale that runs from 40 up to 99. They decide what a player actually does on the pitch: how quickly he reacts, how hard he strikes the ball, how well he holds off a defender. The overall rating you see on the card is a summary of them, weighted by position, so two cards on the same overall can play completely differently.
Five of the 26 are goalkeeping stats. Outfield players carry them too, but the value sits at the floor and never matters, so the goalkeeping rankings on this site are built from goalkeepers only.
Stats are not the whole card. Playing styles decide how a player moves without the ball, and Player Skills unlock specific actions. The stat is the ceiling; the style and the skills decide how often it gets used.
How stats change
A stat is not a fixed number. Three things move it, and this is why a Lv1 comparison is misleading:
| What it does | |
|---|---|
| Level | Every card gains stats as it levels up. How much, and which stats, depends on the card’s own progression. |
| Booster | Each card has a booster that adds to a set of stats once it is applied. Two cards that look level at Lv1 can end up far apart. |
| Training | Skill training and player progression let you push chosen stats further, within the card’s limits. |
Every ranking on this site is measured at max level with the card’s own booster applied. Ranked at Lv1 instead, the lists fill up with Trending cards that start high and finish ordinary, which answers a different question than the one most people are asking.
A player with several cards can appear more than once in a ranking, because each card has its own stats.
