Squad building reference

eFootball Squad Builder

eFootball Tools helps you import player and manager cards, then build a starting XI scored against a real formation and tactical strategy. Here's what the squad builder understands.

Formations

  • 4-3-3 — Balanced width with three forwards and strong pressing triggers out wide.
  • 4-2-3-1 — A double pivot shields the back four while a No. 10 links play to a lone striker.
  • 4-2-1-3 — Double-pivot base with an extra attacking outlet feeding three forwards.
  • 4-2-2-2 — Two banks of two through midfield, built for combination play centrally.
  • 4-3-1-2 — A midfield triangle plus a free No. 10 supporting two strikers.
  • 3-4-3 — A back three frees up the wing-backs, with a front three stretching the pitch.

Tactical strategies

  • Possession Game — Patient buildup—circulate the ball until a gap opens.
  • Quick Counter — Win the ball back and break at speed before the opponent resets.
  • Long Ball Counter — Bypass midfield with a direct ball to fast forwards on the turnover.
  • Out Wide — Overload the flanks and cross into the box.
  • Long Ball — Skip midfield entirely, aiming direct balls at a target forward.

Player positions

  • Goalkeeper — GK.
  • Defenders — CB, LB, RB.
  • Midfielders — DMF, CMF, AMF, LMF, RMF.
  • Forwards — LWF, RWF, SS, CF.

Manager cards

A manager card pairs a formation with one of the tactical strategies above. Import a manager screenshot and the squad builder scores your players against that exact pairing—no manual role-matching required.

Play together with Party

Party is a shareable lobby for deciding who plays as what before a match—create a room, share the 8-digit code, and spin together.

Create or join with a code

Get an 8-digit room code to share with friends, or join one they already started.

Spin for a country or club

Each round, every member spins a random national team or club—no repeats within the same round, and no repeat team for the same member across the room’s history.

Chat while you play

A live chat sits next to the room so you can coordinate without leaving the page.

Build your collection

Every imported card lands in your club—searchable, filterable, ready to compare at a glance.

Pick a manager's formation and strategy; the squad engine scores your players against the roles that actually matter.
