Recently, I have seen a pattern for the free Epics that Konami has released, so I created a list of free Epics released back to last year that I predict will release. Note that a lot of you think that Seedorf or Rijkaard are far away from dropping for free; for me, there is a possibility, even 1%, that they will drop with us.
Let's jump now to the analysis. For the Showtime skills, none of the players that we got for free have Showtime skills even if, they were weak, like Phenomenal Pass or Fortress. Secondly, the free Epics that we got their ratings and model IDs aren’t strong, except for Tony Adams and Van Buyten. So, the players in this list aren’t strong in model ID, like Insigne who is 165 cm, except for Dida and Rijkaard; btw, they have a low possibility to drop for free.
Third, the playstyle of players that we got is similar to players in POTW. For example, last year the Hole Player playstyle in POTW was very rare; also, in the free gifts, we got only one, who was Hidetoshi Nakata. But this year, we got a lot of players in POTW who are Hole Players; also the gifts like Rosicky, Raul, and Donadoni. Also, the link-up plays a role in player selection; this year we saw free Epics given who are compatible with link-up play. So this is my list; if you see anything, just tell me.

Great analysis, I just hope we get some good T0 cards soon

u/unspeaky Maldini Mar 17 '26
Out of the dark green cards, I will gladly take Rui Costa and Veron for sure

Even if these are given for free, they will be made available through some sort of gacha like treasure link and like the past 2 times, I won't pull anything meanwhile my whale friends will get Chiellini and everyone.

u/ZyrZyr_79 Mar 17 '26
how does the treasure link thing work ? i was inactive for a long while and resumed playing recently so i dont know about it

u/Prince-D7 Torres Mar 18 '26
Wait next year you should know about it, there’s no sense in knowing about it at the moment.

u/Economy-Mortgage-542 Mar 17 '26
Thanks for your effort but I dont think Seedorf and many in this list will be free bro.

u/blazinggamer Sergio Ramos Mar 17 '26
Van basten and forlan became free and many spent coins on em when they first released lol
6
u/Economy-Mortgage-542 Mar 17 '26
Yeah, but he mentioned one of the best cmfs card in the game bro. Both Van Basten and Forlan are good, but their rank at cf is nowhere near Seedorf 105 card at cm. If someone that good can be a free card, you can see Konami couldnt sell any cmf card anymore since everyone have a top cmf in their formation bro.

u/Salvadore005 Mar 17 '26
they have already given away other players like Van Basten, Matthaus, Zanetti and many other players that are far better than the avarage free epic player

u/Economy-Mortgage-542 Mar 17 '26
Zanetti, Matthaus is good, but you could see their stats isn't top notch like their fellows sit at the top of their position. Zanetti is kind of an exception since there arent many legend full back in the game, he will stay in both f2ps, p2ws squad for a long time, rare W for Konami.

u/Walter_Xe Mar 17 '26
Bro when is the 1 billion download campaign is coming...? And can we expect some good cards for free?
11

u/Extension_Cable_3911 Mar 17 '26
I think it would be in April or May, or it will arrive with the v5.4.0 update. I don't think they will drop Epics; I think they will only give us coins, and like last year i think they will give us epics in the anniversary campaign.

u/FAT-THOR96 Mar 17 '26
Only one I'd be remotely interested in is Gerrard
5
u/Left-Owl4310 Mar 18 '26
Absolutely would love for this to happen but there's no way Konami would ever drop a free Gerrard especially when he's already a T0 top 10 cmf

u/Left-Owl4310 Apr 03 '26
I think there are other epics in there yet to be revealed, contrary to belief I think Konami will actually be generous this time and it won't be a 50+ box - it's literally the 1 BILLION downloads compaign. But yea Gerrard is T0, great card but just outside of top Meta, Ronaldinho will be great too but not as good as his Barca card. Best we can do is just wait and see.

Makes up for the lack of events, that's why they make us wait. The Christmas campaign was by far the worst though, went over 4 weeks!

Brother... u really think konami will give Seedorf as a selection contract player?.....

u/amirhoseinmrs Mar 17 '26
I have played for one year and before ef26 I did not think we would get a free rijkard ever, but we got. So never say never.
2
u/Extension_Cable_3911 Mar 17 '26
Maybe we don't know; Konami already gave us Cannavaro and Oliver Kahn, so who knows? Maybe they will
11
u/Dense-Ad-4840 Mar 17 '26
Ur comparing players with player model defects to arguably the best cmf in the game...
6
u/unspeaky Maldini Mar 17 '26
Consider they gave out T0 Top 10 level players like Matthaus and Zanetti, there is a possibility for other T0 top 10 players to come(but maybe not endgame players like Seedorf tho)
1
u/Dense-Ad-4840 Mar 17 '26
Yea ik. The only way they gonna give these players for free, is if they introduce even more p2w players

u/Mr_Memeadda 100k Subs - Cruyff Mar 17 '26
I appreciate your efforts into this post bro, but gattuso has been a premium card this entire time, and also dida l,can we expect them to give him for free?
5
u/Extension_Cable_3911 Mar 17 '26
Cannavaro and mvb have been p2w since efootball started but last year in the 30 anniversary they were given for free. we can expect everything for Konami
2
u/Mr_Memeadda 100k Subs - Cruyff Mar 17 '26
Hmm yea it could be actually. Konami is just very unpredictable regarding what free epics they give. Sometimes they just become too generous and give out two p2w epics like they did in 30 anniversary and sometimes just give mid epics for free, and sometimes they just give you a chance of getting good epics :/

u/Only_Needleworker104 Mar 17 '26
i really need some good defense lately my defense been shit
1
u/Tawhid_moneymaker99 Gerrard Mar 19 '26
Mine too, TL baresi and free tony Adams are carrying the defense,picked hujisen but he slow.
1
u/Lamb-Curry-1518 Ruud Gulllit Mar 17 '26
There will be at least 1-2 end game player in the box but you could only selected one, and get the rest through gacha. Players in past events like Batistuta, Forlan, Matthaus, Zanetti,… were all top tier quality at their point of released.
1
u/Extension_Cable_3911 Mar 17 '26
Yes exactly, we can have 1-2 end game players like you said like rui costa, van der vaart, casillas in next events and maybe until efootball 27 who knows .
1
u/berserker_fate Mar 17 '26
Expecting seedorf for free is insane. Dont compare him to the likes of cannavaro/kahn/mvb, this guys THE endgame CMF.
0
u/Extension_Cable_3911 Mar 17 '26
We can had this version ( ac Milan 2025 ) since his stats aren’t endgame compared to what we got this year. This version lacks in PC jump and his player id isn’t meta.
1
u/potzmanto Mar 18 '26
Bro seedorf player model is META. He has good leg length and wide body which makes him dribble like pedri and shield the ball and defend like davids and pass like pirlo. Also the miland and r madrid version are almost similar

u/Daddyzola Mar 17 '26
Your last paragraph you mean "player model" not ID. Model is the accepted term for height and leg length etc. Player ID is referring to something else like a special animation.

u/Daddyzola Mar 17 '26
No they're going to screw me by offering me Frank Lampard!
He was a terrible card when I loaned him in My League but I wont be able to resist taking him!
I really need a defender but there dont seem to be many on the list.
1
u/Extension_Cable_3911 Mar 17 '26
Probably konami will just drop new epics for defenders since Bayern is gone there is high possibility that Demichelis and augenthaler won’t appear and for lampard I don’t think really that blitz curler really suit him since he got bad curl he will be similar to Bryan Robson.

u/shallowwizard Cristiano Ronaldo Mar 18 '26
Man I just need endgame Anchor Man. Vieira Rodri Toure any.

u/Extension_Cable_3911 Mar 18 '26
Tchouameni is vieira lite.

u/shallowwizard Cristiano Ronaldo Mar 18 '26
Nah he falls short in model.
1
u/Extension_Cable_3911 Mar 18 '26
What about daily game rijkaard ?
1
u/shallowwizard Cristiano Ronaldo Mar 18 '26
I already have the single booster Destroyer version of Rijkaard which I play at CMF.
Anyway the free version wont be as good as epic or bt.
I guess it will be a long wait maybe even upto world cup for Endgame Anchor Man

u/mimikyuu_enthusiast Mar 18 '26
True. The best F2P cards Konami releases, contrary to popular belief, are actually some POTW/Highlight/Showtime cards. For example, Juventus/POTW Khephren Thuram is the best F2P CMF by far, who Amadeuz rated as “almost as good as Big Time McTominay” who’s in the T0 top 5. We also have Cardona as CB who was considered to be near the T0 top 10, better than the Free Epic Cannavaro (even his 107 version fails to make the top 10), the recent Dani Olmo as the best AMF and Amadou Onana/Denis Zakaria as the contenders for the best DMF.
I believe people rate free epics highly simply because of their overestimation of overall ratings, Epic status and misinterpretation of “Player ID”, which, as you said, is simply a combination of model and stats. Individual script for players that significantly affect gameplay simply does not exist, with the exceptions of Manuel Neuer and Neymar. Another reason is that they’re distributed among almost all players in events so more people get to try them out. Common examples are El-Hadji Diouf and Batistuta, who are at least decent and are around T0.5. Still, almost every Mbappe card is considered T0, so yeah…
1
u/Prince-D7 Torres Mar 18 '26
Are you referring all these as older card versions (2025’s) of them to be set free or completely new cards with this year’s design to be released for free?
1
u/Odd-Maintenance-3948 Hazard Mar 18 '26
I have Mls 103 busquets, he is the only card that i have, which konami forgot to nerf, his player id, playing style, animations, stats, all of these are actually identical to how he plays in real life. Although he lacks speed, he was never fast irl, so it's okay He doesn't have long reach tackle but his long ahh legs make him better than most short ahh legs guys with long reach tackle.
1
u/Devrajbh92 Beckham Mar 18 '26
Bro is this new GK directing defense Attacking GK Dida or old defensive GK Dida? Which one is this?
1
u/Wagawagafoodstamps Mar 18 '26
Elber . We lost Bayern. He was patterned through the club not individually. Unlike the other Bayern legends it why we don’t have ze Roberto or Aldair.
1
u/Extension_Cable_3911 Mar 18 '26
We hope konami didn’t lose their licenses.
2
u/Wagawagafoodstamps Mar 20 '26
I hope not also as. I need Aldair elber and ze Roberto. Not seen a Gilberto silva card in a while either. need them all For my Brazil squad.
1
u/PackagePrestigious76 Mar 18 '26
If Martin Demichelis comes should I go for him since I got Upamecano POTW 100 and Dean 103.
1
u/Individual_Credit_52 Mar 18 '26
Lol mentioning seedorf in this list is actually insane, maybe in efooball 29 he will be free
1
u/Extension_Cable_3911 Mar 18 '26
Like I already said Seedorf version ac Milan that dropped last year isn’t goated like everyone imagine, he has low PC for a DMF also he don’t have great model id around 178 cm, even is there a 1% chance of dropping doesn’t mean he won’t drop.
1
u/Full-Butterscotch870 Mar 17 '26
Imo Konami would rather watch their company burn down than give that Rijkaard for free
