If you play eFootball regularly, v6.0.0 is more than a seasonal number change. The update changed tactical planning, added a new social competition mode, expanded player behaviour and introduced gameplay tools that can alter real match decisions. This guide focuses on what matters in practice, while also covering the official notices players should know before the September 24 maintenance. You can also open the eFootball page in Zaplat’s Game Library for the game hub and connected content.
1. Custom Tournament makes friend groups easier to organise
Custom Tournament lets players create or join knockout tournaments for up to eight participants. The important part is not simply having another menu option: it gives friend groups and small communities a built-in structure for brackets and progression instead of treating every match as an isolated friendly. Konami also addressed issues that appeared shortly after launch, so players who tested the mode on day one have a reason to revisit it.
For a first test, keep the format simple. Run a four- or eight-player bracket, agree on squad rules before starting, and focus on whether match progression and spectating fit your group. A clean tournament with clear rules is more useful than adding every possible restriction at once.
2. Overload changes where your team creates numbers
The new Overload Team Playstyle concentrates players toward the side of the ball. In possession, that can create short passing options and nearby support. Out of possession, it can help the team stay compact around the active area. The trade-off is obvious: if too many players collapse toward one side, switches of play and fast transitions can attack the space you leave elsewhere.
- Use Overload when you want close combinations under pressure rather than forcing long passes.
- Watch the far-side full-back and winger after turnovers.
- Test it with players whose positioning and passing already match your preferred tempo.
3. Fluid Formation and new Playing Styles make Game Plan deeper
Fluid Formation is now available in Game Plan, while Playing Styles have been separated into attacking and defensive behaviour. New styles were also added, with particular attention to defensive roles. This matters because player identity is no longer only about what a card does when your team has the ball. Squad building increasingly asks two questions: what do I need from this player in possession, and what should happen immediately after possession is lost?
A useful testing method is to change one variable at a time. Start with Fluid Formation on a familiar setup, then add a Team Playstyle, then evaluate individual Playing Styles. That avoids the common trap of changing ten settings at once and having no idea which one actually improved the team.
4. Dynamic Volley and motion updates add situational options
Konami added Dynamic Volley and updated multiple motion, kicking and goalkeeper behaviours. These features matter most in rebounds, crosses and loose-ball situations where the ball may not settle before the shooting window disappears. Dynamic Volley should be treated as another situational tool, not a universal finishing shortcut.
5. September 24: no POTW, plus a Live Update warning
Konami announced that no POTW players will be available in the Special Player List from September 24 through September 30, 2026. During the same period, player Condition will be determined using the Live Update Rating released on September 17. Dream Team players who normally plan weekly squads around form should account for that unusual schedule.
6. Is this “eFootball 2027”?
“eFootball 2027” is a search phrase some players use for the new season, but Konami’s current official pages identify the release as eFootball v6.0.0 and the New Season Update. That distinction matters for trustworthy coverage: a popular search term can be useful for discovery, but it should not be presented as an official product name when Konami has not announced it that way.
7. Turkey: mobile eFootball Coin prices changed
On September 17, Konami announced an eFootball Coin price change for App Store users in Türkiye and for Google Play users in Türkiye and Bolivia, citing exchange-rate fluctuations. This is a regional mobile-store notice rather than a universal price change across every platform. If you buy Coins, check the current price inside your own store instead of relying on an older screenshot or video.
What should you test right now?
- Run a small Custom Tournament with friends and evaluate the current stability.
- Try Overload on a formation you already understand so its positioning changes are easy to notice.
- Test Fluid Formation separately before stacking more tactical changes on top.
- Re-check Dream Team form after the September 24 maintenance if you saw an unexpected Live Update Rating.
- Do not plan around a POTW list for September 24–30 because Konami says none will be available.
