eFootball October 29 Update: Which Packs Are Behind 126 New Player Entries

The October 29 eFootball update adds 126 player-card entries to the database. That is a large number, but it does not mean 126 equally important cards arrived at once, nor that every card belongs to one available pack.

The update includes major World Player of the Year and weekly selections, broad league player pools, plus club, historical, and manager-linked entries. Use the full list for update news; use your squad gaps to decide which packs deserve attention.

Where Do the 126 New Entries Come From?

Group	Entries	What It Adds
J.LEAGUE	48	The week’s largest group, with broad coverage rather than a small star-only selection
Worldwide 29 Oct ’26	22	Two weekly 11-player groups, including Worldwide and European club competition content
Brasileirão	12	Brazilian league-themed players
English League Attackers	11	An English league attacking-player group
World Player of the Year 2026	11	The week’s most prominent high-profile player group
J.LEAGUE Monthly MVPs	8	J.LEAGUE monthly-performance content
Paris Saint-Germain Selection	8	PSG-themed player entries
Michael Skibbe 26-27	2	Manager-linked entries
Adachi Ryo 26-27	2	Manager-linked entries
BG Pathum United FC Selection 2026	1	BG Pathum United-themed entry
Japan 2010	1	Japan historical-theme entry
Total	126	11 database groups

One distinction matters: a database group is not always the same as a separately available player pack at that exact moment. Some entries may belong to later releases, themed updates, or larger league data groups. The 126 figure shows the scale of this database update, not a list of 126 cards everyone should chase.

Biggest Names First: World Player of the Year 2026

For players interested in widely appealing elite cards, World Player of the Year 2026 is the main attraction. Its 11 players include:

• Harry Kane
• Kylian Mbappé
• Lamine Yamal
• Erling Haaland
• Michael Olise
• Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
• Ousmane Dembélé
• Rodri
• Lionel Messi
• Fabián Ruiz
• Unai Simón

Based on current third-party max-level database evaluations, Kane reaches 104, while Mbappé and Yamal reach 103. These are fully trained database ratings, not the players’ base ratings when obtained.

This is not only a centre-forward pack. Kane and Haaland cover central finishing, Mbappé offers pace and scoring, Yamal provides a premium right-wing option, while Rodri, Fabián Ruiz, and Unai Simón add midfield and goalkeeper coverage.

Whether it is worth spending depends on your actual squad needs, not the names alone. If you already own elite CF, RWF, or goalkeeper options, the World Player of the Year label does not automatically make this pack essential.

Weekly Selections: Do Not Treat the Two Worldwide Groups as One Pack

Worldwide 29 Oct ’26 accounts for 22 entries, but it is not one 22-player pack. It consists of two separate 11-player weekly groups:

• POTW: Worldwide: Focused on recent performances and ready-to-use player profiles. Kylian Mbappé is one of its most noticeable attacking options, alongside names such as Gabriel Magalhães, Alejandro Grimaldo, and Christian Pulisic.
• European club competition content: Another 11-player group from the same update, with a different theme from Worldwide. Check it separately based on the positions and player profiles you need.

Compared with World Player of the Year cards, POTW value is usually less about chasing the highest long-term training ceiling. These cards are more about special versions linked to current football performances and players you can use immediately. If you prefer smaller featured pools or need a position covered by this week’s list, the weekly selection may be more relevant.

J.LEAGUE Is Why the 126-Card Total Looks So Large

This update feels unusually large not because every new entry is a European superstar, but because J.LEAGUE content takes up a major share:

• Standard J.LEAGUE group: 48 entries
• J.LEAGUE Monthly MVPs: 8 entries
• Total: 56 entries

That means J.LEAGUE-related content makes up nearly half of all 126 entries. For players building a J.LEAGUE squad, a Japanese league theme team, or a Japan-focused squad, this may be more meaningful than the World Player of the Year group.

However, if you only care about globally popular stars such as Mbappé or Kane, the 126 total can make this update seem broader than it is for your own team. One 11-player group may be all that actually matters to you.

Brasileirão, English League Attackers, and Club-Themed Content

Beyond J.LEAGUE and World Player of the Year, this update includes several other clearly sized groups:

• Brasileirão: 12 entries: Brazilian league-themed content. Thiago Silva is one of the most noticeable names in the current selection. Best suited to Brasileirão squads or players who prefer Brazilian footballers.
• English League Attackers: 11 entries: A themed group built around English league attacking players. Its value depends on whether you need those positions, not on the total rating alone.
• Paris Saint-Germain Selection: 8 entries: PSG-themed content for Paris Saint-Germain squad builds or specific player themes. Database appearance and actual availability do not always happen at the same time, so check the in-game Special Player List.
• Michael Skibbe 26-27 and Adachi Ryo 26-27: 2 entries each: Small groups aimed more at specific manager or theme-squad additions.
• BG Pathum United FC Selection 2026 and Japan 2010: 1 entry each: Content for specific club or historical-theme players, with limited impact on general squads.

Which Pack Should You Check First?

You do not need to study all 126 cards one by one. Start from your squad goal:

• Need an elite CF, RWF, or star forward: Check World Player of the Year 2026 first, especially Kane, Mbappé, and Yamal.
• Want current-form special cards: Check the two POTW / Worldwide groups and choose based on specific positions.
• Building a J.LEAGUE squad: This is a major update week. Both the standard J.LEAGUE group and Monthly MVPs deserve attention.
• Building a Brasileirão squad or adding Brazilian players: Check Brasileirão.
• Building PSG, BG Pathum United, or historical Japan themes: Look at the smaller matching groups.
• Already have a complete squad: Do not let the 126 total push you into spending. Confirm which position has a real upgrade available first.

October 29 Update at a Glance

• The October 29 database update adds 126 player-card entries across 11 groups.
• J.LEAGUE-related content accounts for 56 entries, making it the largest part of the update.
• World Player of the Year 2026 includes 11 players, with Kane, Mbappé, and Yamal as the main highlights.
• The 22 Worldwide weekly entries should be treated as two separate 11-player groups.
• Brasileirão adds 12 entries, while English League Attackers and World Player of the Year each add 11.
• PSG, manager-linked, club, and historical-theme content adds variety, but may not all be available to obtain at the same time.

The point of this update is not that all 126 cards matter equally. It combines elite stars, weekly performance cards, J.LEAGUE content, and multiple squad themes in one large database refresh. Start with the positions and team themes you use most, then decide whether a specific pack is worth your attention.
