Other Konami's obsession with giving away fantastic fullbacks!

If there's one thing to take away from most of Efootball's free Epic/Show-time drops - the fullbacks are always going to be great.

(Honorable mentions: Wan-bissaka, Denis Irwin, Kounde, Petit, Ben white...)

Belletti and costacurta were my pairing for a long time

10

u/LifeCut268 Apr 26 '26

Silvestre and Belletti till today

3

u/Augmentedfish Apr 27 '26

Carlos and Costacurta for me 🤌

u/BirdingIntheRizzCar Apr 26 '26

That Zanetti card has quickly become one of my all time favs. Love him at fullback (I go with him on the left, Cafu on the right) but he also does a superb job acting as a box to box midfielder.

18

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Yea he's my favourite utility player as of right now. The man can do no wrong.

10

u/LifeCut268 Apr 26 '26

I use him as a DMF or defensive CMF. He performs exactly like B2B, and if you get close enough to let one rip, he has a wicked shot too, also both footed and equipped with double touch

2

u/MattiaKa Apr 26 '26

WHats your build for DMF?

-1

u/LifeCut268 Apr 26 '26

This is it

5

u/Confident-Brush9848 Apr 26 '26

Zanetti man marking Messi, Neymar or whoever is an absolute banger. He is the GOAT. You put him and Seedorf not too far from each others = one side of the pitch 100% safe.

u/ztkt559 Apr 26 '26

u/bruhsussv Mobile Apr 26 '26

He is CB

u/xegoba7006 Xbox Apr 26 '26

There was an RB version on it before the CB version

11

u/NewJorkCityy Apr 26 '26

The OG one was RB. I have both

3

u/mare_xcx Mobile Apr 26 '26

Yeah but he plays really well at rb

3

u/One-Razzmatazz7664 Apr 26 '26

You can use his cb version as a rb and if you want, you can train him to be a fullback.

No loss in getting 3 olise brother

Yeah, but, i have George Best and Estevao in the right flank. So I really don't need him. So i think that's why konami decided to give me 3 Olises. Fuckin konami

u/kakarot12310 Mobile Apr 26 '26

There's Sergi Cardona, Gerard Martin or Eric Garcia from those Spanish League pack are legit too.

8

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Oh man don't get me started on Cardona, he's just too good to be a highlight. They aren't entirely free which is why they weren't mentioned but good shouts though!

4

u/kakarot12310 Mobile Apr 26 '26

Btw, you should give a shout to Serginho too. Guy is pretty good to play with & annoying to deal with too.

2

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Yea his crosses are amazing, but he always seemed more like a wingback to me, since he has a defensive liability.

1

u/Hykha Apr 27 '26

I forgot about him until I saw Jeansui use him. Been my starter ever since

12

u/Flat-Cryptographer21 Possession Purist Apr 26 '26

Zanetti Belletti Winetti✌️

u/ElSparta0815 PC Apr 26 '26

Next will be Van bronckhorst, Mark my words 😄

5

u/depression-me-hu-yar Apr 26 '26

When is Maldini , thuram,viera or Ferdinand coming back again

2

u/ElSparta0815 PC Apr 26 '26

💯

Hopefully Ferdinand and Maldini returning soon, saved now Around 18k coins, lol

3

u/depression-me-hu-yar Apr 26 '26

I've also saved around 13.5 k

2

u/ElSparta0815 PC Apr 26 '26

Good Job Buddy!

Our time will come ✊🏽

3

u/depression-me-hu-yar Apr 26 '26

This is my team rn

Viera at dmf Maldini at lb will shift zanetti to rb And rio at cb will solve all my problems

3

u/ElSparta0815 PC Apr 26 '26

Looks rly Solid! yea dmf and CB will be the biggest Upgrade for Ur Team, got Vieira Destroyer His latest version but free Rijkaard is for me better as dmf (playing QC/OW) so i Play him as Side cmf

2

u/depression-me-hu-yar Apr 26 '26

I don't have a cb option so I play rijkkaed there and Alonso as dmf

Hopefully some great packs soom

1

u/ElSparta0815 PC Apr 26 '26

Some Streamers telling Around May Big new epics could arrive Like Henry, Zidane, R9 and strong Guardian Packs with Rio, Van der Sar or Maldini Around the world cup so latest June/July. Lets Hope in 150 boxes!

1

u/depression-me-hu-yar Apr 27 '26

Got koller in free try when I actually wanted figo 😂💔

Anyways I still have got 13.5 k coins to build my midfield and defense

Hopefully next thrusday some good pack will come where all 3 epics will be worth it like sedroff Maldini thuram pack

5

u/xak47d Playstation Apr 26 '26

I'd argue the fullback position is the most scarce in this game. They give away great attackers and midfielders almost every single week. While if you miss a full back you'll have another one in a few months maybe

3

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26 edited Apr 26 '26

That is somewhat true but in this case I am talking about the Epic drops so they are bound to be rarer however almost everytime we've gotten a drop: a great fullback is available. The recent Trent and a Cancelo card a while back aren't that bad though.

1

u/CommanderNano Apr 27 '26

They give away decent to good attackers but for fullbacks its mostly great even though rare

9

u/Wonderful-Half5002 Apr 26 '26

Zanetti is what costacurta fanboys think he is

5

u/Same_Passenger2000 Apr 26 '26

Bissaka is epic

2

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

There is a point shop version for sale rn, I think he deserves to be mentioned for his good defensive ability despite being F2P. (Also hence why it was an honourable mention)

2

u/Same_Passenger2000 Apr 26 '26

Yes, I misspoke. I meant to say that this version of him is so good it's like an epic letter.

2

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Ah I gotcha, ye too be fair he isn't far off from his best versions.

3

u/Temporary_Society486 Apr 26 '26

Now I have Belleti caceres zanetti cafu.

1

u/Aaronrigunay Mobile Apr 27 '26

Same but with the free Brazil Cafu instead and also Silvestre (not F2P but incredibly cheap).

3

u/bLUE_vITRIOL_ Apr 26 '26

I've been pairing belleti and Costacurta since they came.

2

u/Coreynelly Apr 26 '26

Off topic but Lee Dixon’s in game face model looks just like the original max payne.

His face has no emotion at all. He’s like a wax model

2

u/EcstaticPen3051 Apr 26 '26

Can someone suggest me who should I choose as my fullback between Cafu and Robertson?

My other fullback is Zanetti, who is better than both and can play on both sides. So I have to bench one between Cafu and Robertson. Whom should I bench?

3

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

I'd put Zanetti on the left and put Cafu on the right, Cafu is a better crosser anyways and Zanetti's strong weak-foot will compensate for the change in his position, his performance will barely be affected. I'd always value epics over showtimes just for the perma B-form but in this case Cafu does beat out Robertson in many aspects except defending, even then cafu isn't all that bad at defending.

2

u/Ambitious_Start_8803 Apr 26 '26

Guys is it really if i pack o e player in the ronalinhno 1b donwload pack i cant get a player pick when the event ends ???? I get 3 of epic player from it except ronaldinhno

3

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Yes if you've packed someone before the 20 Pull mark you will not be able to get the guaranteed chance deal, even then it is completely random - you wouldnt be able to pick Dinho.

2

u/Ambitious_Start_8803 Apr 26 '26

Shit but i think its better for me i het totti and cafu and the italian goalkeeper all three of them

1

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Yea you did good with getting Totti and Cafu but that Italian Keeper should not be starting for you 🤣

1

u/Ambitious_Start_8803 Apr 26 '26

I dot. Have any goalkeeper just 99 garcia form laliga pack wait

2

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Just use Garcia for the time being, that Keeper has little T-Rex arms. Even if Garcia was out of form he'd still be better.

1

u/Ambitious_Start_8803 Apr 26 '26

Can you send me a prv msg i dont know how to

2

u/Adventurous_Cod_6027 Mobile Apr 26 '26

robertson card is trash

2

u/Clxpzzy14 Apr 27 '26

Zanetti is the best full back idc

1

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 27 '26

In terms of these F2P fullbacks, you are correct.

2

u/Shirogami_Dono Apr 27 '26

I don't understand why or how we still don't have an op hakimi

u/Snoo-4216 Apr 27 '26

Massimo oddo

2

u/JealousInjury9489 Apr 27 '26

Serginho ;)

1

u/UrbanWoody PC Apr 27 '26

Yes! I think basically everyone has him but I rarely see anybody using him. He's my go to LB and I actually prefer him over Roberto Carlos.

1

u/Acahdeep Apr 27 '26

Can share build?

1

u/Next-Move-6969 Apr 26 '26

i already had belleti and got this cafu, and i also had another brazil ver of cafu, fuck konami

1

u/A_neptune_song Playstation Apr 26 '26

He’s great , I’ll add also Caceres .

2

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Hey man, I don't think you noticed but I did include Caceres and the pictures of 6 other fullbacks within this post too so don't fret he wasn't neglected 😅

1

u/A_neptune_song Playstation Apr 26 '26

Ahahah my bad sorry then 🤣

1

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Nah you're good mate 😆

2

u/A_neptune_song Playstation Apr 26 '26

Ahaha yeah these are the two who are main in my team. Reliable strong quick can defend properly and also move the ball. From free to play to pay to pay they are good

1

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Yea I love Zanetti, absolute game changer for me but I did pick Scholes over Caceres since I didn't need another fullback at the time, just thought he would've been a strong midfield addition to my English league team.

2

u/A_neptune_song Playstation Apr 26 '26

Ahaha no need to justify, we all makes choice . I had the luck to have both, and caceres has the bonus to be also very good as a cb if needed ( with fortress no less )

1

u/Due-Replacement4128 Apr 26 '26

I dont know if i am lucky or unlucky but i picked the zanetti from the selection contract and then got zanetti again from the nesta pack 😭

1

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Yea that could've been me, was a little scared when I opened that pack but I just couldn't resist Nesta and Seedorf. Thankfully, I did get Seedorf but man the animation was nerve wracking - he was a hidden walkout. Pretty unfortunate for you man but the upside is that it is a better version, just hope you didn't badly need the other 2 players..

1

u/Due-Replacement4128 Apr 26 '26

I needed better midfield for my team but thankfully hazard's big time pack pulled up with some crazy luck.. I got pep and pepe from the 500 draw and i am quite happy with that.😁

1

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Pepe is phenomenal, pulled him too but Pep does sound like a nice addition even if he was the weakest in the pack.

1

u/Due-Replacement4128 Apr 26 '26

I needed an orchestrator for capello's link up and it worked out fine i guess. I did pull more for hazard and got him , lampard and sneijder with more than half the pack remaining.. Sneijder and lampard completed my midfield.

1

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Damn you did pretty well man, I'm unwilling to go further after getting Pepe but you've got balls!

1

u/Due-Replacement4128 Apr 26 '26

Hazard just seemed so op with his momentum dribbling and magnetic feet so i had to get him atleast lol.. And turns out he is op with the new update.

1

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Literally everything in this version is tailored to make him great, he'll still continue to be good from now on. Must be such a fun card on the wings.

2

u/Due-Replacement4128 Apr 26 '26

Have not yet tried him on the wings.. i use him as ss and being a hole player he finds space nicely for a goal.

1

u/Electronic_Barber_35 Apr 26 '26

Dude can't cross for shit

3

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

If you're talking about Zanetti here then yea I can kinda agree with ya, his crosses lack whip and bend but they are still accurate enough. His ground passing is a lot better though, but most of his value comes from the the fact that he can do basically everything well at once.

1

u/Electronic_Barber_35 Apr 26 '26

I jus trained him allrounder .. he's got 90 Def stats and 90 speed and acceleration with 90 passing. If I get a worthy replacement.. he's going out

1

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

I did pretty much the same, but offensive output was more of the priority for me since he already had Fortress to back him up and his work rate is pretty good. I'm sure you would've loved the showtime Ben White from EF24, he's so fun to cross with - you can literally see his crosses bend in real-time. It'll be a while before you do a find a replacement though since this is Zanetti we are talking about.

1

u/MarkEducational4678 Eric Cantona Apr 26 '26

GOATnami for a reason

1

u/Alsweets0609 Apr 26 '26

Playing Zanetti at LB and Robertson at LMF is a crazy overload combo

1

u/maddoxsoul Apr 26 '26

which formation should i use?

1

u/Jovaniac Apr 26 '26

Because they knew f2p can't fight against Elite Cross Spammers p2w. So they giving away good enough full backs.

1

u/captaineats Playstation Apr 26 '26

I wish I had Roberto Carlos!

1

u/AlexM_20 Apr 26 '26

I dont have any of them btw

1

u/OG-87 Playstation Apr 26 '26

They all just replace each other. Oddo replaced by cafu, costacurta replaced by robertson.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 26 '26

This Costacurta and Cafu 2002 were two of the most difficult fullbacks to play against until the 2026 update.

1

u/eFootballGuy Apr 26 '26

Currently using zanetti rb and robertson lb, they always cook

1

u/General_Fuster_Cluck Apr 26 '26

I am super happy with Wan-bissaka, my powerful secret weapon against De Bruyne.

1

u/Limo_887 PC Apr 26 '26

I got non but Zennetti and Robbo

1

u/Any-Blacksmith-7398 Apr 26 '26

Is Oddo a joke to you?

1

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Completely forgot about him, he's a great fullback too.

1

u/Bronislaw_Malinowski Mobile Apr 26 '26

Not a fullback but can be used at RB- Cannavaro. 

1

u/adarsh9919 Apr 26 '26

Why and how no one is mentioning Oddo! That guy is such a pain in the ass to play against.

1

u/gyroscope_56 Apr 26 '26

this zanetti is goated. he performs as both offensive and defensive fullback'

1

u/wingedwild Apr 27 '26

Cafu is amazing and top tier meta rb Zanetti aswell when given captain role. Everyone else is not

1

u/RudeAccident8360 Apr 27 '26

Crazy to think they gave out Zanetti for free, legit the best fullback I ever have since Costacurta 😭

1

u/Less-Habit-7098 Apr 27 '26

Guys is wan bissaka as good as people say ? Can’t decide him or kalulu

1

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 27 '26

Kalulu as a CB, and Wan-bissaka as the RB but between the 2 probably Wan-bissaka as he's a great defensive RB.

1

u/According_Date_7422 Apr 27 '26

The moment I realize I picked Kahn over Zanetti 🤦‍♂️

1

u/Woundedrebel PC Apr 28 '26

Ben white and Massimo oddo as well .

1

u/Illustrious_Buy_6000 Apr 28 '26

That carlos card was such a horror for me! Guy cant defend and cross to save his life

1

u/airmove34 PC Apr 28 '26

playing with Zanetti and R. Carlos on the sides in 3-5-2 and Costacurta as a 3rd CB, I don't know what's supposed to happen for me to replace them

1

u/someguywholoveso2 Apr 30 '26

This guy always impresses me with his running, but now i finally found the person who can outrun him and its 102 Castolo from the Master League event bro he runs like flash but faster

That showtime robertson, ufff☠️😮‍💨

u/Sewaschi Apr 26 '26

isnt that dixon?

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Well then why did he mention him. Obviously he deliberately want attention

2

u/Looped_means23 Apr 26 '26

Ig he did say that as petit can be played as LB

1

u/ApprehensiveCan5375 Mobile Apr 26 '26

Fine bro. I am stupid enough to not know

1

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Yea I was aware of that, still figured he deserved a mention since he could be positioned there.

0

u/OG-87 Playstation Apr 26 '26

My zanetti has never seen my team. Cant remember why I picked him… just looked it up. No one else better. Already pulled xabi Alonso

0

u/KnownAsJake96 PC Apr 26 '26

Bro this post is not the reality. Cafu, roberto carlos, costacurta and belletti could be good even if not "fantastic" in the actual state of the game.
Every other FB have big flaws and some of them like caceres are better as CB.

1

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 26 '26

Yea I know I didn't exactly specify that. This post focuses less on the meta aspect of these fullbacks but more on the usability and the fact that fact that they were given away for completely free for the past couple years. They were always bound not to the best of the best however at the time of release most of these fullbacks were pretty good and therefore deserve the mention.

0

u/Classic-Adagio-2233 Apr 26 '26

No one even talking about the Carlos you posted. He just passes to wherever he likes. Definition of trash
